“Get Well, Look Good and Stay Healthy Living Gluten Free”

We started using this tagline in 2005 when we first published Glutenfreeworks.com.

Optimizing your health has always been our primary goal and we have helped millions of people do just that.

With the Covid-19 pandemic afflicting the world, it is more important than ever to maximize your health and get to the root cause of any ongoing health issues.

Italy is reporting 99% of those who are dying have other illnesses.

The top three illnesses being reported are high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

All three are included in the Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide:
Reversible Hypertension, Diabetes Disorders, Heart Disorders.

The Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide website is a self-treatment resource that will empower you with the information and tools you need to recover and optimize your own health and well-being as well as work with your healthcare providers to improve your treatment. 

Health conditions can persist or develop even after going gluten-free.

It is time to stop managing health conditions and fix them.

While standard medical treatment uses medications, procedures or surgeries to manage health problems, the Treatment Guide goes beyond treating symptoms to identify and fix the root cause.

This cause may be something as simple as a nutrient deficiency, a trigger that is causing inflammation, or a medication for one issue that is exacerbating another.

With the purpose of helping you achieve the best health you can, right now, we are offering you a subscription to the Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide for just $20.

Most people never truly achieve good health.

All of us suffer from different types of symptoms that arise in the future. That is just the nature of life.

Achieving good health requires understanding your symptoms and health conditions, recognizing whether they are related to the toxic effects of gluten within your body and their causes, (nutrient deficiencies that have developed from malabsorption for example), how they respond to a gluten-free diet and what you need to do to correct them.

The Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide was created to help you do exactly this.

Have you ever wondered whether your various aches, pains and health issues are related to gluten or past damage from gluten? Headaches, muscle pains, weakness, weight gain, cavities, eye problems, neurological disorders…

Nowadays, it is common to read that gluten can cause hundreds of symptoms.

This wasn’t always the case. At one point, just a handful of symptoms were thought to stem from gluten.

Gluten Free Works changed this. We were the first organization to collect over 300 signs, symptoms, associated disorders and complications from all over the world and publish them in the groundbreaking medical reference, Recognizing Celiac Disease, in 2007.

Chronic inflammation and nutrient deficiencies are the big contributors to health problems related to gluten. But, the complications gluten causes can persist, even once we start a gluten-free diet, unless they are individually treated.

And it seems a true gluten-free diet, where gluten is totally removed from the diet, is not the norm among people who think they are Read More »

Several years ago I was referred to see a neurologist for a neck injury I received in a car accident.

This doctor is one of the top neurologists in the United States. He is a well known authority who teaches at a prestigious medical school. He is also a really nice guy.

After learning I publish Glutenfreeworks.com, he said he would pass the information to his mother, who he mentioned has gluten sensitivity. Noticing his small stature, slim build, flaking skin and 1/8th inch long paper-thin fingernails, I asked if he had been tested for celiac disease.

He chuckled and said, “I don’t have a malabsorption problem.”

One of the most distressingly common things I experience is meeting sick people who do not even know they are sick.

This physician, published and famous for his expertise in neurology, had no clue he was suffering from multiple symptoms of nutrient deficiencies. He was sick, but did not recognize the signs.

Doctors cannot recognize symptoms of nutrient deficiencies in themselves, let alone in their patients.

Finding out you have Celiac Disease is a big transition. Often it’s a good one that leads to feeling great, yet initially it’s a lot of information to take in at once to understand what you need to do for your health. Much of it is because we’re been eating one way for 15, 30, 50 or more years and it can be overwhelming to to instantly unlearn everything we’ve done and change overnight. Wouldn’t life be easier if you could take a doctor or dietitian home as a portable reminder of the basics? And so the Celiac Disease Video Project was born.

See below for videos of Dr. John Snyder, Chief of the Department of Gastroenterology at CNMC in DC, Dr. Gary Kaplan, Medical Director of Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine and Cheryl Harris, MPH, RD Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist discussing testing, diagnosis and follow-up, eating a gluten-free diet and a short segment on when it’s not Celiac. Though there are an increasing number of videos out there on people’s stories of diagnosis and ways to make a gluten-free pie, this is the first of its kind to do a run-down of the medical and diet basics by healthcare professionals. The Celiac Sprue Association has been kind enough to support the project. Read More »

Celiac disease causes malabsorption of nutrients. As the video states, get these nutrient levels tested when you are diagnosed with celiac disease: vitamins A, D, E, K, folic acid, B12, and minerals iron, calcium, and phosphorus.

If your doctor never tested you, ask him to test you now. If you don’t have a doctor, or if you do, we recommend Spectracell Laboratories. Spectracell tests the nutrient levels inside your cells, not just those that are in your blood. This gives you an accurate result. (We are not affiliated with Spectracell.)

A therapy for celiac disease is one step closer. ImmunogenX purchased the license for Alvine Pharmaceuticals’ medicine, ALV003, which degrades gluten before it can be digested and absorbed by the intestines. The following press release was distributed by ImmunogenX.

“Glutenase for in-vivo gluten degradation is a leading candidate for celiac disease ImmunogenX™, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and gastrointestinal diseases, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the non-cash assets of Alvine Pharmaceuticals.

This includes Latiglutenase (formerly known as ALV003 and renamed IMGX003), an orally administered mixture of two recombinant gluten-specific proteases that degrades gluten proteins into small physiologically irrelevant fragments. The technology is backed by over 50 issued or pending patents, has been extensively studied in Phase I and Phase 2 clinical trials, and is the only CD treatment that has demonstrated histologic success as well as symptomatic improvements in Read More »
