Living Against The Grain: Gluten Free Diet
Gluten is a protein found in many grains. It is a well-known fact that gluten sensitivities and the occurrence of celiac disease have increased in recent years. The idea that gluten sensitivities are related only to structural imbalances in the gastrointestinal tract has been now proven to be inaccurate. These are complex issues and need to be understood to help with treatment and management. This class will discuss the definition of gluten sensitivities, how it is different from celiac disease, its diagnosis, traditional treatments, the alternative remedies available and how to live gluten free. Dr. Gregory Giasson DC, MSACN, MS runs Alternative Roots Wellness Center in Essex Junction where he offers holistic chiropractic and nutrition counseling services to help people get their health back into their own hands.
