The Truth About Gluten-Free Diets Part 2: The Gut Brain Connection with Dr. Tom O'Bryan

To this day, I get asked if gluten is problematic.

And I often get pushback from people who tell me that they have no reactivity to it and that their doctor or nutritionist doesn’t think it’s problematic.

But when they work with me and we dig deeper into their medical and family history, I see a wide variety of symptoms related to the gluten in their diets.

To make matters worse, gluten is often found in foods that wouldn’t normally contain gluten, but have been exposed to cross-contamination in how and where they are grown or in processing. This is especially true with oats!

Another scary fact is that glyphosate, the herbicide otherwise known as Roundup, is used as a desiccant to dry out oats and other gluten-free grains. Glyphosate is a common underlying cause of autoimmune disease.

Today’s guest is a world leader on gluten sensitivity and inflammation.
