If You Feel Miserable After Eating…
• Breads
• Pasta
• Barley Soup
• Licorice
• Beer
• Sushi
You might be having a reaction to Gluten!
Reactions to Gluten
Just about EVERYONE has some difficulty digesting gluten
• Gluten proteins are found in: wheat, barley, rye, triticale (a cross
between wheat & rye) & certain other grains…
Two types of Gluten Intolerance
• Celiac Disease – immune disease/genetic link 1%
• Gluten Sensitivity (Non-Celiac) 15%
Affects all ages- mainly between 20-60 years old
• For every 1 person diagnosed with gluten intolerance, 80 people are
undiagnosed
Ref: www.celiac.ca
3
Gluten Intolerance Symptoms
Most symptoms are not in the GI Tract
• Constipation/Diarrhea, IBS, GERD
• Indigestion/Abdominal Bloating
• Malnutrition/Nutrient Deficiencies/Low Iron
• Weight Loss or Weight Gain
• Weakness/Fatigue/Depression/ADHD
• Migraines/Inflammation
• Menstrual Disorders
• Nerve Damage/Tingling (Burning)
• Bone or Joint Pain/Bone Loss
• Skin Issues: Itching & Rash
• General poor health with no
gastrointestinal symptoms
• No obvious symptoms
4
Gluten Intolerance Defined
• An inflammatory disorder of the small intestine triggered by gluten
• Leads to nutrient malabsorption & overactive immune responses
FACT: Just a few crumbs of bread can trigger a reaction!
5
People with Gluten Intolerance Have Special Needs
FATS AND FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS:
• Omega 3
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K
THE B VITAMINS, ESPECIALLY:
• Folic acid
• Vitamin B12
MINERALS, ESPECIALLY:
• Iron
• Calcium
PROTEINS for repair & growth:
• Vegetable proteins
• Glutamine (amino acid)

How Much Protein Does Everyone Need?
NO “One Size Fits All”
Increased protein intake recommended for:
• Exercise / weight training
• Repair tissue and lining of the GI Tract
• Convalescing / illness/ injury/ muscle weakness/ fatigue
• Carb restriction/ build lean body mass/ reduce body fat
• Children engaged in sports / low growth rates
• Individual needs based on general health & activity level
WHO minimum requirements = .75g/kilo (.34gm/lb) body weight
Example: 70 kg (~150lb) needs about 50gm/~2oz of protein daily
Environmental Health Reasons for Eating Plant Proteins
1. Eating lower on food chain protects natural resources
2. Land & water use significantly less
than animal-source proteins ~ 100x less
3. Eliminates water contamination
caused by feedlot animal waste
4. Organically grown = safe & non-toxic pest & weed control
5. Non-GMO = Biodiversity & seed preservation
6. Sustainability = food security for more people

15
A Mineralized Body is Disease-Resistant
• Alkaline minerals from a healthy diet will buffer the acid load
• If alkaline minerals are lacking in the diet, the body must resort
to drawing them from its own reserves
• Minerals are leached from muscles,
nerves, bones, & vital organs
• Acidic waste accumulates in cells and
tissues
• Oxygen supply to each cell is
diminished
• Results in a lack of energy &
vitality, as well as chronic
disease & inflammation
16
Gluten Intolerance & Acidic pH
When the body’s pH is acidic:
• Harmful acidic impurities & toxins are not
properly eliminated or neutralized
• Cells have up to 20 times less oxygen
• Hydrochloric acid is reduced in stomach
• Liver congestion occurs
• Intestinal inflammation can not heal
• The mucosal lining of digestive tract remains compromised
• Often constipation/diarrhea and a congested bowel are present
17 17

– Potassium
– Magnesium
– Calcium
– Manganese
18
19
Best Times to Alkalize
• First thing in the morning for a refreshing
“pick-me-up” & detoxifier
• Replaces “early morning” coffee (or sweet
drinks) with a healthy alkalizing alternative
• Anytime of the day in hot or cold water
as an energizing, hydrating drink
• Before bedtime for overnight pH balancing
• Pre-exercise for sustained energy
• Post-exercise to counteract exercise-induced
lactic & carbonic acid production
• Added to a water bottle for electrolyte
replacement ( potassium, magnesium, calcium
and sodium)
Fermented Barley Grass & Wheat Grass
Gluten-Free Green Superfoods
20
• Fresh-cut blades of organically-grown grass are naturally
cultured with probiotics: L. plantarum & Saccharomyces
boulardii on molasses matrix and fermented for four days
• Naturally occurring nutrients are more readily assimilated:
minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll, antioxidant-rich
phyto-nutrients, fibre (soluble and insoluble), and protein
(9 essential amino acids)
• Acts as speedy alkalizer leading to a balanced pH: good
source of calcium, trace minerals, iron, magnesium, sodium
potassium, manganese, selenium, and zinc
• Barley grass can reduces the inflammation associated
with arthritis, in addition to lowering blood cholesterol
• Wheat Grass reduces symptoms of colitis, supports
bowel health & aids in digestion
Organic Chlorella and Spirulina:
• Chlorella is a fresh water green plankton; contains the
highest concentration of chlorophyll of any plant
• It is a great detoxifier & improves lipid metabolism,
cardiovascular health and immune function
• Chlorella is rich in proteins, vitamins, lutein & minerals
• Spirulina is one of the most protein dense green foods (60% protein)
• A rich source of minerals, beta-carotene, Vit B12 &
unique phyto-nutrient – phycocyanin unique blue
antioxidant pigment that is a liver & kidney protectant
• Spirulina boosts the immune system, cleanses the
body, offers strong anti-oxidant support and radiation
protection
21
Healthy Digestion
• Protects small intestine lining from damage caused by undigested
proteins
• Promotes healthy mucosal lining of intestinal tract
• Aids the absorption of key nutrients in the small intestine
• Controls bacterial overgrowth in the intestines
• Protects against allergens & lactose intolerance
DID YOU KNOW THAT...?
Incomplete digestion prevents absorption of the alkaline-forming
minerals that we need to neutralize acids & toxins!
22
Enzymes Support Gluten-Free Healthy Living
Enzymes are the ideal digestive support to the Gluten-Free Diet
23
Signs of Low HCl (Hypochlorhydria)
• Multiple food sensitivities and food allergies
• Bloating or distention, belching, & flatulence immediately after meals
• GERD, indigestion, heartburn, IBS, diarrhea, or constipation
• A prolonged sense of fullness long after eating
• Nausea after taking supplements or eating
• Iron & calcium deficiencies
• Sore, burning or dryness of the mouth
• Acne - rosacea
• Dilated blood vessels on the cheeks & nose
• Chronic candida, or intestinal parasites
• Rectal itching
• Hair loss in women & poor quality nails
24
For stomach acid tests

Normal Aging Reduces HCl
• Numerous studies over the past100 years have shown stomach
acid secretion decreases with age, resulting in low gastric acidity in
more than 50% of all patients aged 60 years and older.
25
Betaine HCL: A Natural Stomach Acid
Hydrochloric acid is essential for digestion & nutrient absorption
• Activates pepsin needed for protein digestion
• Encourages flow of bile & pancreatic enzymes (needed for carb,
protein & fat digestion)
• Sterilizes stomach contents preventing pathogen
overgrowth & infection in the low GI tract,
decreasing the risk of inflammation
• Assists proper absorption of key vitamins,
minerals, & trace elements especially: – Calcium & Magnesium
– Zinc & Non-heme Iron
– B Vitamins, especially vitamin B12
– Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid
– Beta Carotene 26
