November Blog Is self diagnosis such a bad idea?
Written in response to Michael Specter's Against the Grain in the November 3rd issue of the New Yorker.
Are a third of American adults who are avoiding gluten being seduced by a fad, or indulging in mysticism akin to “an attack of evil spirits”? If those twenty million, persevering with challenging dietary change imagine they are feeling better, perhaps they are onto something. Why the doubting? Allergic reactions have been the subject of controversy for many years. Many medical doctors question the existence of Type II-IV reactions, sometimes suggesting a psychological component in those reporting. Symptoms may occur up to days after a food has been eaten and vary from GI distress, to joint pain, neurological or psychological distress. For nutritionists, wellness coaches and other alternative practitioners, addressing Food Sensitivities, which include both reactions to certain carbohydrates and Type II-IV reactions, is a significant focus of their practice.

As clients learn to recognize subtle clues from their bodies while fine tuning a diet, they become experts in their own health.
