Every superhero movies captivated their loved-ones because these are their weakness.

I have written extensively about this on my blog if you want to read more please go to my Celiac Posterboy blog either on tumblr or wordpress.

My latest blog entry on Tumblr discusses how the Doctor’s diagnose NCGS as IBS in 84% of patients. It really is ground breaking research.

Good luck on your journey.

If you are open to an honest inspection of the facts see my latest post “Spouses of Celiac’s are at Higher Risk . . . ” which can not be explained by genetics alone but allows for STRESS as the trigger.

If you follow the Niacinamide Challenge (see post) you will begin burping in 6 months and while you go once a day now (no gluten) your stool (about the time you begin burping (a month either way) will begin sinking to the bottom a sign of complete digestion. See my post on the “Golden Cross of Digestion”.

Great post, which really is about the topic of epistemology. Epistemology is a word that, even in over 200 comments, hasn’t been mentioned. But it’s a word I think more people should be aware of.

Also, shortly after I read this post, I saw an article and was going to share it because it’s a really good one on this topic. Turns out Scott Paley, earlier in the thread, posted it. But I’ll post it again because I think it’s worth it.

Even the title is great: “I Don’t Want to Be Right”:

I’m a fan of your videos AND these longer articles.

I don’t know when you first published this article but I just noticed it today, so I may be a bit late commenting on it, but it’s absolutely right on!

My wife and I run a website in the gluten-free niche called Elegantly, Gluten-Free and we have been struggling with the Semmelweis reflex for years. For instance, we have 3 books the latest of which has a 2nd edition and incorporates everything in the 1st two books plus what was in the 1st edition of the 3rd book.

It’s 200 pages of great material and we got only 5-star ratings on the 1st edition. So, we have been trying to puzzle out why copies of the book don’t fly off the servers and I think that you hit it right on the head.

People don’t want to pay 6-bucks for the PDF or Kindle book to find out how to actually avoid virtually all the pain and misery that goes along with learning to live gluten-free if they are gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive because they think that they can learn how to live and eat gluten-free on their own… How hard can it be, right?

Which works, by the way, about as well as trying to lose weight on your own.

As a side note, gluten sensitivity is a very real condition (there are “social gluten-free” individuals which is a decision and not a medical condition but its not the same thing).

Nearly all gluten intolerance is caused by a genetic, autoimmune disease called celiac disease which damages the small intestine of afflicted individuals whenever they eat something with gluten in it. People with gluten sensitivity get the same symptoms (there are an estimated 300 symptoms… often appearing in “bizarre” combinations) as those with full-blown celiac disease but they don’t get the autoimmune “hit” to their small intestine.

Thanks for the insightful article. I’ll need to think about what I can do to use the teaching to improve the marketing of the 2nd edition of my wife’s book, “Eating & Living Gluten-Free… The Official Guide.”

I’ve followed you for years now and I greatly appreciate your article and thoughts!

Best regards,
Al
