very educational video and i love the animation too. makes you imagine it and it makes it easy to remember
Gluten is being used to cater flour demand because it can grow more.
You gave me the nocebo effect.
Anyone from the Philippines with Celiac?
I wanted to ask how you get officially tested.
My aunts keeps adding wheat flour to my foods and when she see me okay after eating she tells people "see? It's all in her head"
She has type 2 diabetes so I thought she would understand me since whenever she eats cake she has to inject insulin.
I am close to her daughter and I just am so angry that she gluten posioned me and that I have to prove I have celiac.
Many different GI's told to just stay away from gluten and that there's no cure. I dont necessarily need a biopsy, only if I want to.
Its expensive and I am the only breadwinnef so I cant use money anywhere else.
Thank you in advance!
My wife has had digestive issues for years. Aches, pains, bloating, poor stool consistency, fatigue, and joint pain.
She's gone to a hyper-low gluten diet (almost 0), and she's 100% better.
She cooks, so eat her food too. We've both lost a bit of weight as a result.
Gluten is filth as far as I'm concerned.
OOF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I WANT TO DRINK PAINT THINNER AND SAVE ME FROM GLUTEN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
maybe the over use and dependency on WHEAT and the variety human bio-engineering created. Bread evolved to have undigestable Gluten and our body got only worse in dealing with CARBS. HENCE high CARBON density food
I still dont get it, what was the benefit of gluten and why it is used in the first place
I need to ### myself
This is why asians prefer rice over wheat.
How do they teach everything in school except for this
G free
Why are the sound effects in this video twice as loud as the guy’s voice?
Люди часто начинают чувствовать себя лучше на безглютеновой диете и, соответственно, делают вывод, что у них непереносимость глютена, потому что резко перестают есть фастфуд и переработанные продукты.
Другими словами, если вы позволили себе пирожное с кремом и желудок болит, то дело необязательно в глютене.
You forgot 2 symptoms of Celiac disease NAUSEA AND VOMITING 😭😭😭
The bread my great grandparents ate is a lot different then the commercial mass produced loaves sold today (!) After removing and re-introducing certain allergen known foods over several months with lab work conducted, removing food with gluten has consistently and measurably reduced my inflammation markers, I also feel a lot better. Over generations, gluten food items have become so processed that they barely look like the bread of our ancestors. I think that is why more people are experiencing positive effects of going gluten free.
One thing I didn't see that I am curious about is whether it is more common now for people to have gluten sensitivities than decades ago when I was growing up, or if you just didn't hear about it because they didn't understand the condition. And if it is more common now than it used to be, why is that? I'm thinking it is more that they didn't understand because I don't remember doctors talking about diet much when I was growing up, except that you needed 3 Square meals a day.
The thing that I can't eat
G l u t e n W i l l M a k e Y o u r D i c k F l y O f f.
informative video presented in an incredibly biased and judgemental way.
I honestly can't stop thanking Dr Aluda on YouTube who cured my HPV completely with his natural remedies which I ordered from him.Thank you so much. he's specialized in curing Multiple Fibroids, HSV 1&2, Cancer, Cold Sore and many more❤️
It goes with our increasing population that has lower EQ.

Dear person reading this God will reward you for all your hard work!😀 God sees your hard work!😀
Other than these diseases, why do people in normal life too suggest to reduce gluten content??
Irritating noise effects. 👎🏼
It took a extremely restrictive diet with slow reentry of food to find out I had a gluten intolerance. And I fill 100 times better not eating it. I truly didn't realize how much it effected me till I didn't eat it so I don't discredit anyone that says they have it. I just hope one day I'll know why it bothers me so.
Pathetic lol
take the gluten OUT THE BREAD
I just thought that people are "gluten -free, gluten-free" because they don't want to inflate like a balloon.
nice video, nothin more entertainin than a low grade animation full of disgustin fartz sounds and borin medical info, it might be less painful to read a medical research papers!
As an Asian i just got 1 thing to say: weakkkkkkk
You should probably factor in GMO wheat in North America causing health risks.
love thus
Eating gluten actually can "help" you lose weight. Since it gives bread its elastic properties you will feel full sooner. You will feel more full on bread than cookies with the same weight
As a SE Asian, i feel sorry for these people in the west for having so many food allergies. Sooo weeaakk
Cœliaque disease isn’t an hereditary disease btw
69k likes congrats lol
so why sell it if it does all these things wrong to your body why sell it
Germany's most favourite quote: GLUTEN TAG
A High Gluten diet can cause leaky gut to anyone. Yes, it’s an insoluble stretchy, sticky protein almost like chewing gum. That alone makes it very hard for the stomach to breakdown, cleave, and dissolve. As the body tries to assimilate your food in the small intestine, the food particles that are stuck to this partially dissolved gluten will be unnaturally large. This can fissure and stretch the small intestinal wall over time and promote a leaky gut, not to mention inflammation to keep what should be purged to the colon out of your bloodstream.
Repairing this damage will cost the body a great amount of energy and vitality.
sounds like a bunch of whiney ppl, this was never a thing, and now it is, wow you ppl are to sensitive !!! this is called one thing .. the government doing their job and killings its own ppl
The only issue I have with people who have neither celiac disease, gluten allergy nor wheat intolerance, who just go gluten free because it's trendy, is that restaurants and cafés will take glutenfree orders less seriously. I went to a course about glutenfree food and celiac disease at the hospital when I first got my diagnosis, and we were advised to mention specifically that we have celiac disease to waitresses because they might not take the glutenfree order seriously if we don't.
Nocebans remind me of those who "self diagnose" their "Traumatic Stress Disorder" and various "trendy" illnesses for what ever reason.
I lived for a year on the east side of Victoria, BC on the way to Oak Bay. there was a bakery in a small mall (not high overhead) and it was all "gluten free" . So what does "gluten free" have to do with PRICES being another 40 to 50% higher than even the so -called "organic" bakeries??
I don't have a celiac desease(I'm not sure) but when ever i eat a food have gluten, I will have a bloating and my back start hearting me more, I have a back-pain for 5 years now and I'm not sure what's the problem
