Excellent review for you today of mouth ulcers, what causes them and what we can do about them. I know many of you suffer with these painful mouth sores - a lot of us who have gluten related illnesses suffer with them - and I note this is indeed listed as one of the top …
Gluten Sensitivity and Microbial Transglutaminase – Meat Glue
Studies are coming out now about the use of more and more meat glue aka 'microbial transglutaminase' being a possible factor in gluten related disorders. I suspect it is both a cause of them and a reason why some do not heal. Are food additives causing celiac disease? Widely used 'meat glue' may be driving …

Cyrex 3 Gluten Test Expanded And Price Reduced!
Updated post with a bit more info... The first-line gluten test I recommend is the Cyrex Array 3, which looks for the traditional gluten proteins (gliadin, 33 mer) and the coeliac transglutaminase (Ttg2), plus importantly a lot of other markers the mainstream tests miss - and which I find come up positive a lot! In …

Feeling Better on Gluten Free Diet But Are You Actually Healing?

9 Signs You Might Have A Gluten Related Disorder
How many of these can you count, then? I got six originally and nowadays have one - the pounding headaches/migraines. This is often one of the most difficult symptoms to get rid of, I've found, and others I talk to say the same. Not nice at all, I can tell you. I could actually say …

This Is How Functional Medicine Works
I find it incredibly difficult sometimes to explain to enquirers just how the type of approach I take to health conditions actually works! It's really complex stuff and very individualised. So, I was really pleased to see a Natural Medicine Journal article recently which takes three cases and shows what process each went through and …

Healing Series: Are We Putting Too Much Pressure On Ourselves?
A bit of musing for you today.. Sometimes I think we have to take a step back and look at how much we are trying to achieve with all our healing strategies. I wonder sometimes if we put too much pressure on ourselves and I am forever being asked: 'When will I be better?', …
