Hello, I really enjoyed the podcast today. I am dealing with possible thyroid problems, and it was wonderful to hear that it could be healed by foods, not medication. I did have a problem with the gluten portion of the podcast. I have celiac disease, and that did not get touched upon. This problem was not mentioned. My body cannot tolerate gluten. And it is not a joke. I do put other substances in my body, there are tons of other ancient grains, wheat is not the only grain that a body can or should be eating. One of these grains is Sorghum. It is not a manufactured gum substance. It is not in the category of guar gum or xanthum gum. I did really enjoy the program today, until this portion, where I felt Andrea is less than informed, or simply thinks that true gluten problems, as in celiac disease, aren’t a reality.
Hi Heidi, thanks for your comment. I think a podcast specifically about gluten intolerance and celiac is a good idea to address this more thoroughly. Will definitely look into it for a future show!
You know it probably would, as Celiac disease can cause infertility, miscarriages, and many autoimmune disorders, including thyroid diseases. Thanks for your response. I love your blog 🙂
