Is Gluten-Free for Me? Gluten Sensitivity Testing Program

What’s the deal with gluten? Do you have a gluten sensitivity?

Gluten-free is everywhere these days. So what’s the deal? Is it a fad diet? Do you wonder if gluten-free is right for you, but you aren’t sure how to get rid of the gluten? And you’ve probably also heard about “Leaky Gut.” Curious if your gut is leaking? Gluten sensitivities and leaky gut are often interrelated. Gluten sensitivity is a real thing and it’s different than celiac disease. In scientific literature, gluten sensitivity is referred to as Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) and it affects 1 in 7 people. Our gluten sensitivity testing program is specially designed for people who want to find out for certain if they’re sensitive to gluten, and get the support they need to transition to a gluten-free life.

Gluten facts

Gluten is a storage protein in wheat, barley and rye.
Gluten is notoriously difficult to digest.
These undigested protein particles can cause “leaky gut” and trigger your immune system to release inflammation. This inflammation travels all around your body, leading to a variety of symptoms.
Symptoms can take up to 3-5 days to occur, making it difficult to link what you ate days earlier with how you’re feeling now.
Celiac is a much less common autoimmune condition where gluten consumption causes major destruction of the intestinal tissues (not just leaky gut, which only affects a layer of cells). About 1 in 100 people are affected.
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is much more common, impacting about 1 in 7 people.
