This is a YouTube video titled "The Prevalence of Gluten Sensitivity" containing a conversation from December 1, 2020, featuring Ask AI Mark and another speaker discussing gluten sensitivity, testing methods, and personal experiences related to gluten intolerance and gut health.
For me, checking gluten antibodies and what we call a Cyrex 3 test, which we'll get into, which looks at way more proteins around gluten, is like checking.
Their blood.
Pressure or their temperature. It's a vital sign for me because it's so common. It's such a big deal. And, you know, I just saw this guy the other day who had all this severe lymphedema and inflammation in his body, and he had one of the worst gluten tests I've ever seen. and he didn't know it and he's like 50 years old. So anytime anybody comes in with a chronic issue that's not getting better, especially anything that's inflammatory or digestive in any way or neurologic, it's the first thing I look at.
Yeah, and I think the question I get a lot too is like, well, why was I okay eating gluten through my younger years and why is it an issue now? And I'm like, well, even with celiac, right? That's a genetic condition. You're technically born with it, but when it develops, can really vary. So you need to have like the genetic predisposition, gluten in your diet, and some type of trigger. So an infection, you know, a really stressful event, you know, toxins again, something has compromised your gut lining and now you're reacting to these proteins. So for some people it might not even be a life sentence. I mean, if they have celiac or something similar, they have to be really careful, but other people sometimes if you get the gut sorted out and healed, they can tolerate gluten.
Yeah, when I was really sick with mercury poisoning and when I was really sick and had gut issues, I couldn't eat any gluten. And now, I mean, I don't eat a lot, but now I don't handle some. It doesn't bother me and I don't really have any body because I fix my gut.
