Anything to do with living a grain and dairy free life – truly gluten free! All grains have a form of gluten and some gluten-sensitives and coeliacs cross-react to those and other foods, which scuppers their healing.
If you're not getting well or healing on a gluten free diet, check for cross-reactives, especially corn. I’m told June is Corn Allergy Awareness Month, so I thought this might be useful. Even though, most people are intolerant to corn, rather than have a classical allergy in my experience. If you need a refresher on …

Just saw that Inlight have a Bank Holiday sale on this weekend if you need some really pure, gorgeous skincare for you or a gift. Don't forget to use your code PHC10 anytime to get 10% off anyway, but there's 15% off site-wide at the moment. And don't forget Akamuti for a cheaper alternative, but …

How do you test for coeliac genes and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) properly?! I am pretty much the only person in the UK who does this unique full gluten gene test that looks for the usual coeliac genes (DQ2 and DQ8) but also the non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) ones (DQ1 and DQ3). It was me …

Some useful updates on the ARG multi-vi-mins (formulations changed but still OK, children's multi we were using for pregnancy and breastfeeding has been discontinued - gah!), iodine, glutathiones, B vits, metabolics pouches, several new supplements and whole ranges …

Most people only know that DQ2 and, occasionally, DQ8 genes are predictive of coeliac disease - celiac for our followers across the pond. But there are actually two more also linked to gluten illness. Someone asked me about this yesterday and I thought it might be worth a general reminder for all of you. Here's …
Just to let you know that I have just uploaded the latest version of the TGF grain, gluten and dairy supplement master list for you. Not many new TGF products, sadly, but more NOT TGF ones, ugh. We are constantly asking suppliers for info on your behalf. Notes on discontinued items - thank you Allergy …

Just a quick note to let you know that I have today changed the Candida Plan and TGF Candida Plan protocols because the Candisolve has been (helpfully!) discontinued. Candisolve was a mixture of digestive enzymes specifically to digest the fungal cell walls, and Saccharomyces boulardii to discourage adherence to the gut wall. I had it …
Need to lose weight or to encourage your body to get itself into a better, less inflamed cellular and metabolic healing state? To do that, we want to encourage a metabolic process called autophagy. And to do that, we usually need to fast and go full-on ketogenic diet. No more! The New Body Re-Set Plan …
Thought some of you might find this useful. Trying to find a good corn free toothpaste has eluded me for years - one that I can tolerate anyway - mostly because of the glycerins, xylitols, extracts etc. I came across this recipe the other day, so share it in case it helps you. TrulyGluten Free …
