I am always on the lookout for evidence that other grains can be hazardous to gluten sensitives, and here we have a report showing that: Crypt hyperplasia and villous atrophy were severer in the corn oil-fed group than those of control group, whereas mucosal damage in the perilla oil and low fat diet groups was …

I have just posted a report on the Purehealth blog here about the fact that research is starting to bear us nutritionists out that early antibiotic exposure is a probable cause of later food sensitivity: Antibiotic exposure in the first year of life is associated with an increased risk of FA [Food Allergy] and may …

If you're anything like me, you learn quite visually. I like it when I see a video of something because it tends to stay in my head better somehow. Today, I watched this fascinating, albeit very technical, video by Nature, which shows the immune process that goes on in our gut mucosal system - the …
  We all know about glucosamine helping to lower the pain of arthritic joints and that fish oils are, by their very nature, anti-inflammatory. But, I do like to see a measureable marker reduce on test results. We know it works, but it's nice to see it on paper sometimes isn't it? So, here are …

I am writing this tip for myself this morning. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how to think, don't you? I am having a crap day. Actually a crap couple of days.

Since we know that much of our problem being gluten sensitive is the inflammation it causes, I am always on the look-out for ways to lower the inflammation, hence the anti-inflammatories included in the Barrier prescription. One of our other problems, of course, is malabsorption and therefore low nutrient …
You may have noticed in the last few days I have taken down the membership for the Barrier Plan and instead have replaced it with a Barrier Plan package you can purchase that comes with no fewer than 12 supporting documents and free updates. This is cheaper in the long run for you - and …
I just read this sentence in a report and had to pass it on as I am feeling smug! Obesity and diabetes have been linked to leaky gut and new treatments that target this pathway are needed. Enter the Barrier Plan. I thank you. Personally, by following the trulyglutenfree Barrier Plan, I have lost over …

I always like it when Michelle from FoodsMatter writes about me; she has an excellent way of summing up very pithily what I am doing. Sometimes, I am so close to it, I can't see any more so I too learn what it is I am trying to do! She has just done it again …
I need your help. Over the past few months, I have been busy beavering away, pulling together all the research and knowledge we have gained so far about grain and gluten sensitivity and, most especially, the best way to treat it. Our biggest need, as far as I see it, is to identify what causes …
