We eliminated gluten from our sons diet and saw a dramatic change in his behaviors. If he comes in contact with even a crumb of gluten he is bouncing off the walls. Gluten can cause aggression, endless amounts of energy, frustration, lack of concentration, a clouded mind, and much more.
Guten is the proteins found in wheat, rye, oats, and barley. In some people the proteins in gluten are not completely digested, leaving small protein fragments called peptides. Certain of the peptides derived from gluten get through the intestinal wall into the blood stream, and are carried to the brain, where they have opioid activity--that is, they act like morphine!
A simple urine test will determine if your child has high levels of opioid peptides. If high levels are detected then your child may have difficulty digesting gluten. Eliminating the gluten will not only help your child feel better but act better as well. Doctors are often quick to medicate which masks the problem rather then fixing it. ↓
