Gluten: What You Don’t Know Might Kill You

Dear Dr. Hyman,

Once again you have written an absolutely brilliant expose on something most people take for granted as a necessity in their dietary lives, such as wheat and wheat-based products. It’s a testament to our grab-and-go world that values convenience instead of healthiness that this hidden Celiac Disease epidemic has gotten to this point. I know so many people, my husband included, who will grab a sandwich just because they can’t be bothered to plan meals ahead or they’re in too much of a rush to make a proper healthy meal. Personally, I discovered long ago I was sensitive to wheat and now have effectively eliminated it and processed sugars from my diet. Yes, it’s made my life less convenient in many ways, but at least my gut doesn’t regularly pain me as it does many people.

I am so thankful that you are opening our eyes to things many of us have intuited for a long time, and that you have such solid science to back it up.

With great thanks and respect,

Sezin
