Dr. O'Bryan points out that, over the years, both the average American's consumption of wheat and the occurrence of neurological, learning and behavioral problems have been on the rise. "Only recently," he says, "has the evidence shown that there is an undeniable link between the two."
In his talk, Dr. O'Bryan told how countless people with neurological and behavioral conditions - including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, migraine headaches, and childhood developmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD -- also have sensitivities to wheat.
He says: "Up to 90% of my patients who complain of these kinds of neurological and behavioral problems also have documented elevated antibodies to wheat, indicative of wheat sensitivities. The connection is undeniable. When these people stop eating wheat, their symptoms invariably diminish." In his talk, Dr. O'Bryan told us how to recognize whether our symptoms are wheat-connected, and how to omit wheat from our diets -- even though so many foods have wheat as their primary ingredient. He also shared practical tips on how to shop for and select a variety of wheat-free foods.
