I didn't know there's such a thing as gluten free beer, they somehow filter it out? Anyway, I guess people lump wheat and barley together since they both contain gluten. All grains contain gluten. Wheat, barley, oats, spelt, etc. Wheat gluten has been getting a lot of notoriety lately because of celiac disease and the grain mega-businesses sense of money to be made.
The bummer is that while there is all this attention on wheat gluten and a small percentage of the populace having a bad reaction to it, EVERYONE is intolerant to wheat and all the other grains to one degree or another,... and very little attention is being paid to it. Only the Wheat Belly mob, and maybe some of the Paleo groups are starting to get some notoriety and bring this tragedy to light.
Celiac is widely known to be life-threatening. What is NOT widely known is that the other grains and their glutens can be life-threatening as well. -- Some folks have had their life-threatening athsma cleared up. -- Some have had their life-threatening blood pressure get back to normal. -- Some have had their life-threatening diabetes cured. -- Maybe it is not quite life threatening, but arthritis surely is life ruining, and many many folks over the past few years have had their arthritis either disappear, or even if they have already been disfigured, they've had their inflammation and pain minimized,.. being left with a sense of profound regret they didn't get off grains long ago. -- Some have had their life-threatening heart disease abated or cured.
You can easily find out your intolerance to wheat and/or other grains. Just stop eating ANY of it for a month or two. Note the changes,.. sorta like an allergy test in reverse. -- I know of no one who has completely stopped all grains for a month to not note some pretty significant improvements. -- I do know of a lot of folks say they have given it a try, but all they really did was cut out one or two grains,... or they "cut way back." -- Cutting "way back" is like reducing your cigarette smoking from 5 packs to 2 packs a day. --- That is quite an improvement, but as far as your lungs are concerned, not much has changed. --- Same with wheat and other grains,... cutting way back does very little good since you are still ingesting all the nasty stuff contained in those grains.
Sorry. Didn't mean to get on the soapbox again, but since I got into this back in October, I keep finding out more a more about it, and it is hard to not want to let everyone know about it,... how simple it is to make some huge improvements in your daily life and for your longevity.
