Just read Stephen’s blog @ www.wholehealthsource.blogspot.com.  Apparently Matt Lentzer has emailed some famous bloggers a letter asking for their participation in a New Year’s Resolution that will make a huge difference in your health.  Here’s the resolution:  Go gluten free for all of January.  I am definitely in!  Are you?

Copied from Stephen’s blog:

Are You Gluten Sensitive?
Many people are totally unaware of the fact that they react poorly to gluten. Because they’ve been eating wheat, barley and/or rye products every day for virtually their entire lives, they don’t know what their bodies feel like without gluten. In susceptible people, eating gluten is linked to a dizzying array of health problems that stem from an immune reaction to gliadins and other proteins in gluten (1). Are you a susceptible person? How do you know?
The gold standard way to detect a gluten sensitivity is to do a gluten “challenge” after a period of avoidance and see how you feel. People who react poorly to gluten may feel better after a period of avoidance. After a gluten challenge, symptoms can range from digestive upset, to skin symptoms, to fatigue or irritability within minutes to days of the gluten challenge.
With 2011 approaching, why not make your new year’s resolution to go gluten-free for a month? A man named Matt Lentzner e-mailed me this week to ask if I would help with his (non-commercial) project, “A Gluten-free January”. I said I’d be delighted. Although I don’t typically eat much gluten, this January I’m going 100% gluten-free. Are you on board? Read on.
