Gluten Intolerance: Is Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity causing your digestion, immune or autoimmune symptoms?
Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is when individuals experience adverse symptoms when consuming gluten, despite testing negative to coeliac disease. While less severe than coeliac disease, gluten intolerance can cause considerable symptoms and significantly impact quality of life.
Symptoms of gluten intolerance can be managed by following a gluten-free diet. Support to reduce digestive and immune inflammation may be necessary alongside a gluten free diet to resolve chronic health conditions associated with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.
Menopause and your immune system: the potential link to autoimmune disease.
Menopause is the natural transition marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, but it brings with it a cascade of hormonal changes. While hot flashes and night sweats often steal the spotlight, a lesser known but significant consequence of menopause is its impact on the immune system. As estrogen and progesterone levels drop, the body's defence system undergoes a transformation which can potentially increase the risk of developing autoimmune diseases.
The Gut Connection: How Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut, and Food Intolerances are Linked
Our gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a complex ecosystem packed with trillions of microorganisms, collectively called the gut microbiome. These microbes play a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and even mood regulation. An imbalance in this delicate ecosystem, known as dysbiosis, can have far-reaching consequences and can potentially lead to intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and food intolerances.
