It’s wonderful to hear of the myriad conditions that were solved for Jesse just by eliminating gluten and wheat from his diet. – Dr. Perlmutter
In 2006, I realized that wheat was affecting my health. Still, I kept playing the “on again, off again” game of eliminating wheat for long periods of time, only to find myself binging on it a short while later. I began to notice that the periods that I experienced suffering were lasting longer after each binge.
The final straw came this past January. My suffering was so horrible I almost checked into the hospital. I had horrible, constant migraine headaches that caused my to stay in bed for hours during the day. I was blowing chunks of mucus from my nose every two minutes. My sinuses were swollen. My head was hot and tingly. This went on for six weeks.
Fortunately, I saw your PBS special. I immediately bought a copy of Grain Brain. After your special was over I took your advice and bought some eggs (I was eating vegan at the time). I felt so sick but I managed to drag myself out of bed and take public transportation to a food store that sold cage-free, vegetarian-fed eggs. I went, totally, gluten-free. My condition improved, remarkably. The migraines are gone. My sinuses cleared. I lost weight, naturally.
I experience no temptation when it comes to eating foods containing gluten. I simply won’t do it. I read labels. I ask questions when I’m eating at restaurants. I won’t go back to suffering that way ever again.
There is one more astonishing thing to share. I’m a 57 year old man and I have been a chronic allergy (pollen) sufferer since I was a young child. Each and every year I experienced itchy red eyes, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, running nose and clogged sinuses. After reading Grain Brain and eating gluten-free, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN FIFTY YEARS THAT I AM NOT SUFFERING FROM ALLERGIES. It’s absolutely amazing that I am no longer an allergy suffer. I am so grateful.
