2. What is Gluten?
• Gliadin is a substance found in some grains that triggers an
immune response in sensitive individuals. Gluten is a
misnomer, the proper name is Gliadin. Genetics/Injury/Illness all
play a part in sensitivity.
• Until now testing for gluten intolerance has only been against
one of those components, alpha gliadin. Testing in the past has
only been 30% accurate.
• It also has been discovered wheat is made up of more than 100
different components that can cause a reaction, not just one.
• Cyrex Labs Array 3: Wheat/Gluten Proteome Sensitivity and
Autoimmunity Have your Dr go to: www.cyrexlabs.com
• More than one wheat protein can cause gluten-intolerance —
Cyrex Labs tests for twelve
• This new test greatly expands the parameters of gluten
intolerance testing, catching those who may have previously
tested negative because they don’t react to the alpha gliadin.

3. Why A Gluten Free Lifestyle?
• Genetics: HLA DQ 2/8 genes are often found in
celiacs and non celiacs alike. The presence of
the gene does not guarantee gluten intolerance
• Injury: Injury to the gut lining from
drugs, antibiotics, infection, poor diet can lead
to gluten intolerance following gut
permeability
• Illness: The gut lining will be compromised at
times, tearing down the normal barrier to the
blood stream. Gluten intolerance can ensue
when the immunes system attacks large
molecules of unprocessed foods.

4. How Do I Know if I am Intolerant?
• Persistent or Intermittent tummy aches
• Feeling poorly after eating or drinking certain
foods
• Rapid Heart Rate
• Mucus in the stool
• Headaches
• Bloating or Gut Pain
• Glandular dysfunction
• Others…

5. How Bad Can It Be?
• Opioid testing
• Some people have enzymes in their digestive tract
that break gluten down into opioids that act like
heroin or morphine. Embarking on a gluten-free diet
can cause terrible withdrawal symptoms in these
people. One practitioner tells of a patient whose
withdrawal symptoms were so severe she went to the
emergency room.
• Array 3 also tests whether gluten has a drug-like
opiate effect on an individual.
• If present, it means the response has made it to the
brain.

6. Preparing Your Own
• Preparing your own food at home in a gluten
free environment is the only way to be certain
you are not being contaminated
• Some options for gluten free foods can now
be found at many grocery markets and all
health food stores
• Keep in mind: NOT ALL GLUTEN FREE LABELS
ARE TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE ITEMS
• BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU ARE A CELIAC

16. Enjoy your journey to a gluten free lifestyle.
Remember to think of all of the choices you have, not of
the things you don’t have.
For many people, going gluten free is the only option to
decreasing pain and disability from inflammatory
conditions. Some will have their brain fog ‘lift.’
Whatever your goal, whether it is just a temporary
cleansing diet or embarking on a new lifestyle, I
encourage you to give yourself a chance. Go gluten free
– completely before deciding if it is helpful. Ask your
doctor to run a Cyrex panel – it is the most accurate test
we currently have for gluten intolerance and foods that
