If You Feel Miserable After Eating…

• Breads

• Pasta

• Barley Soup

• Licorice

• Beer

• Sushi

You might be having a reaction to Gluten!

Reactions to Gluten

Just about EVERYONE has some difficulty digesting gluten

• Gluten proteins are found in: wheat, barley, rye, triticale (a cross

between wheat & rye) & certain other grains…

Two types of Gluten Intolerance

• Celiac Disease – immune disease/genetic link 1%

• Gluten Sensitivity (Non-Celiac) 15%

Affects all ages- mainly between 20-60 years old

• For every 1 person diagnosed with gluten intolerance, 80 people are

undiagnosed

Ref: www.celiac.ca

Gluten Intolerance Symptoms

Most symptoms are not in the GI Tract

• Constipation/Diarrhea, IBS, GERD

• Indigestion/Abdominal Bloating

• Malnutrition/Nutrient Deficiencies/Low Iron

• Weight Loss or Weight Gain

• Weakness/Fatigue/Depression/ADHD

• Migraines/Inflammation

• Menstrual Disorders

• Nerve Damage/Tingling (Burning)

• Bone or Joint Pain/Bone Loss

• Skin Issues: Itching & Rash

• General poor health with no

gastrointestinal symptoms

• No obvious symptoms

4

Gluten Intolerance Defined

• An inflammatory disorder of the small intestine triggered by gluten

• Leads to nutrient malabsorption & overactive immune responses

FACT: Just a few crumbs of bread can trigger a reaction!

5

People with Gluten Intolerance Have Special Needs

FATS AND FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS:

• Omega 3

• Vitamin A

• Vitamin D

• Vitamin E

• Vitamin K

THE B VITAMINS, ESPECIALLY:

• Folic acid

• Vitamin B12

MINERALS, ESPECIALLY:

• Iron

• Calcium

PROTEINS for repair & growth:

• Vegetable proteins

• Glutamine (amino acid)

How Much Protein Does Everyone Need?

NO “One Size Fits All”

Increased protein intake recommended for:

• Exercise / weight training

• Repair tissue and lining of the GI Tract

• Convalescing / illness/ injury/ muscle weakness/ fatigue

• Carb restriction/ build lean body mass/ reduce body fat

• Children engaged in sports / low growth rates

• Individual needs based on general health & activity level

WHO minimum requirements = .75g/kilo (.34gm/lb) body weight

Example: 70 kg (~150lb) needs about 50gm/~2oz of protein daily

Environmental Health Reasons for Eating Plant Proteins

1. Eating lower on food chain protects natural resources

2. Land & water use significantly less

than animal-source proteins ~ 100x less

3. Eliminates water contamination

caused by feedlot animal waste

4. Organically grown = safe & non-toxic pest & weed control

5. Non-GMO = Biodiversity & seed preservation

6. Sustainability = food security for more people

15

A Mineralized Body is Disease-Resistant

• Alkaline minerals from a healthy diet will buffer the acid load

• If alkaline minerals are lacking in the diet, the body must resort

to drawing them from its own reserves

• Minerals are leached from muscles,

nerves, bones, & vital organs

• Acidic waste accumulates in cells and

tissues

• Oxygen supply to each cell is

diminished

• Results in a lack of energy &

vitality, as well as chronic

disease & inflammation

16

Gluten Intolerance & Acidic pH

When the body’s pH is acidic:

• Harmful acidic impurities & toxins are not

properly eliminated or neutralized

• Cells have up to 20 times less oxygen

• Hydrochloric acid is reduced in stomach

• Liver congestion occurs

• Intestinal inflammation can not heal

• The mucosal lining of digestive tract remains compromised

• Often constipation/diarrhea and a congested bowel are present

17 17

Morning Rise & Shine: a pH Balancing Drink

Restores alkaline minerals & balances pH

One serving (8.4g) contains the equivalent of:

– Potassium

– Magnesium

– Calcium

– Manganese

18

19

Best Times to Alkalize

• First thing in the morning for a refreshing

“pick-me-up” & detoxifier

• Replaces “early morning” coffee (or sweet

drinks) with a healthy alkalizing alternative

• Anytime of the day in hot or cold water

as an energizing, hydrating drink

• Before bedtime for overnight pH balancing

• Pre-exercise for sustained energy

• Post-exercise to counteract exercise-induced

lactic & carbonic acid production

• Added to a water bottle for electrolyte

replacement ( potassium, magnesium, calcium

and sodium)

Fermented Barley Grass & Wheat Grass

Gluten-Free Green Superfoods

20

• Fresh-cut blades of organically-grown grass are naturally

cultured with probiotics: L. plantarum & Saccharomyces

boulardii on molasses matrix and fermented for four days

• Naturally occurring nutrients are more readily assimilated:

minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll, antioxidant-rich

phyto-nutrients, fibre (soluble and insoluble), and protein

(9 essential amino acids)

• Acts as speedy alkalizer leading to a balanced pH: good

source of calcium, trace minerals, iron, magnesium, sodium

potassium, manganese, selenium, and zinc

• Barley grass can reduces the inflammation associated

with arthritis, in addition to lowering blood cholesterol

• Wheat Grass reduces symptoms of colitis, supports

bowel health & aids in digestion

Organic Chlorella and Spirulina:

• Chlorella is a fresh water green plankton; contains the

highest concentration of chlorophyll of any plant

• It is a great detoxifier & improves lipid metabolism,

cardiovascular health and immune function

• Chlorella is rich in proteins, vitamins, lutein & minerals

• Spirulina is one of the most protein dense green foods (60% protein)

• A rich source of minerals, beta-carotene, Vit B12 &

unique phyto-nutrient – phycocyanin unique blue

antioxidant pigment that is a liver & kidney protectant

• Spirulina boosts the immune system, cleanses the

body, offers strong anti-oxidant support and radiation

protection

21

Healthy Digestion

• Protects small intestine lining from damage caused by undigested

proteins

• Promotes healthy mucosal lining of intestinal tract

• Aids the absorption of key nutrients in the small intestine

• Controls bacterial overgrowth in the intestines

• Protects against allergens & lactose intolerance

DID YOU KNOW THAT...?

Incomplete digestion prevents absorption of the alkaline-forming

minerals that we need to neutralize acids & toxins!

22

Enzymes Support Gluten-Free Healthy Living

Enzymes are the ideal digestive support to the Gluten-Free Diet

23

Signs of Low HCl (Hypochlorhydria)

• Multiple food sensitivities and food allergies

• Bloating or distention, belching, & flatulence immediately after meals

• GERD, indigestion, heartburn, IBS, diarrhea, or constipation

• A prolonged sense of fullness long after eating

• Nausea after taking supplements or eating

• Iron & calcium deficiencies

• Sore, burning or dryness of the mouth

• Acne - rosacea

• Dilated blood vessels on the cheeks & nose

• Chronic candida, or intestinal parasites

• Rectal itching

• Hair loss in women & poor quality nails

24

Normal Aging Reduces HCl

• Numerous studies over the past100 years have shown stomach

acid secretion decreases with age, resulting in low gastric acidity in

more than 50% of all patients aged 60 years and older.

25

Betaine HCL: A Natural Stomach Acid

Hydrochloric acid is essential for digestion & nutrient absorption

• Activates pepsin needed for protein digestion

• Encourages flow of bile & pancreatic enzymes (needed for carb,

protein & fat digestion)

• Sterilizes stomach contents preventing pathogen

overgrowth & infection in the low GI tract,

decreasing the risk of inflammation

• Assists proper absorption of key vitamins,

minerals, & trace elements especially: – Calcium & Magnesium

– Zinc & Non-heme Iron

– B Vitamins, especially vitamin B12

– Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid

– Beta Carotene 26
