so i wanted to do a video on the hidden  sources of gluten gluten is in so many foods  

most people know that gluten is in most grain  products like wheat spelt rye barley kamut  

bulgur and couscous and as a side note when you  consume wheatgrass juice powder you’re not getting  

any gluten because gluten forms in the grain which  occurs when the wheat grows to a certain length  

when they’re processing wheatgrass juice  powder you’re only talking about these baby  

grasses which are about six inches now typically  gluten is not in oats corn or quinoa however  

sometimes these grains are processed in  the same manufacturing facility as you  

know other grains so they could have traces of  gluten and some people do react to the protein  

in oats very similar to how they’re reacting in  gluten but it’s a different protein but i want to  

talk about the hidden sources of gluten that you  may not be aware of it’s in soy sauce it’s in beer  

it’s in meat substitutes coffee creamers  broth chewing gum flavored tea fish sticks  

would you believe that saying gravy hot dogs  of course if you’re doing grass-fed hot dogs  

chances are you’re not going to have gluten in  that it’s also an imitation seafood toothpaste  

candy and chips now sometimes when i talk to a  client i have to expand where you’re going to find  

gluten so just because i say wheat spelt  rye they might not connect it’s in bread  

pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles pancakes  and even muffins so what is the big deal about  

gluten why is it so bad well it just so happens  to be linked to about 55 different diseases it  

creates some massive destruction with a lot of  people and they will tell you it’s not very common  

but it actually is very common usually those  people telling you that it’s not very common  

are selling gluten as they’re one of their  products but it can create leaky gut it can create  

what’s called molecular mimicry in other words  the molecules the shape of the protein gluten  

is very similar to certain tissues in our own body  like the thyroid gland so if you have antibiotics  

to gluten those antibodies can now be attacking  your own thyroid gland and the myelin sheath which  

could potentially lead to hashimoto’s which is  an autoimmune condition as well as ms and there’s  

another condition which i will do a separate  video on called gluten ataxia ataxia means  

lack of coordination out of balance you have  damage in a certain part of your brain causing  

this problem with your motor control so you  have gait problems coordination problems etc  

and 40 percent of a type of gluten ataxia  is called idiopathic comes from gluten  

and i don’t know how they came up with that  because idiopathic means unknown cause so they’re  

telling you that the cause of idiopathic ataxia is  gluten i mean why don’t you just say gluten ataxia  

so anyway gluten can mess up your brain there’s a  tremendous amount of gi problems with gluten pain  

in your stomach bloating but there’s also a lot of  cognitive issues as well headaches brain fog adhd  

anxiety depression bipolar schizophrenia and even  vertigo so not only do i recommend gluten-free but  

just get rid of all the grains just because  it’s gluten-free doesn’t make it low-carb  

and it’s amazing i have to even tell people  that and i would just assume that’s common sense  

but there’s a lot of people that don’t make that  connection they think oh it’s gluten free so it’s  

low carb not necessarily before you go  if you have a question about a product or  

you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the u.s  hopefully in the future we’ll be able to  

answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
