So if I understand you, all your symptoms disappeared when you gave up grains

and began to eat most everything raw. Have you ever tried eating a mixed

cooked and raw diet, but with no grains or starchy foods. Your problems could

all be related to grains.

If you have a chronic illness - or are just feeling run down - the answer

could lie in your bread bin. Jerome Burne reveals why more of us should steer

clear of wheat

If you suffer from a condition such as osteoporosis, Crohn's disease,

rheumatoid arthritis or depression, you're unlikely to blame your breakfast

cereal. After all, intolerance of wheat, or coeliac disease (CD), is a an

allergic reaction to a protein called gluten, thought to affect only about

one in 1,000 people.

But now two American clinicians, Braly and Ron Hoggan, have published a

book, Dangerous Grains, claiming that what was thought to be a relatively

rare condition may be more widespread than was previously thought. Braly and

Hoggan suggest that gluten intolerance does not just affect a few people with

CD, but as much as 2-3% of the population. They claim that gluten sensitivity

(GS) is at the root of a proportion of cases of cancer, auto-immune

disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions and liver disease. The

implication is that the heavily wheat-based western diet - bread, cereals,

pastries, pasta - is actually making millions of people ill. For the rest of
