Cholesterol is not the dangerous enemy that drug companies make it out to be. In fact, it is a critical, necessary component of every cell, necessary for producing hormones, fighting infections, and for brain development.

My daughter and husband both had canker sores inside their mouths before going gluten free. When I read the book Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic by Dr. Peter Green I discovered this is a common reoccurring symptom of celiac.

  • Sherri - Wow! Thanks for posting this. I remember as a little girl myself having canker sores weekly. I have been wondering if I am the carrier for Celiacs since my son has it. I keep debating on weather or not to get tested. We are already on a GFCF egg, soy, corn, and pea free diet so not sure if anything else would show.ReplyCancel

    “There are indications of a rapidly growing population of infants who show developmental abnormalities as a result of prolonged exposure to the supine position.”
    Dr. Ralph Pelligra regarding the impact of the Back to Sleep Campaign

    The Back to Sleep Program causes the following in infants who sleep supine compared to infants who sleep in the prone position:
    – Supine Sleep causes increased rates of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) (Corvaglia, 2007)
    – Social skills delays at 6 months (Dewey, Fleming, et al, 1998)
    – Motor skills delays at 6 months (Dewey, Fleming, et al, 1998)
    – Milestone delays (Davis, Moon, et al., 1998)
    – 1 in 12 infants now have plagiocephaly compared to 1 in 300 in 1974 (Siatkowski, Fortney, et al., 2005)
    – 10% of children with deformational plagiocephaly have mild to severe mental delay (Kordestani, Patel, et al., 2006)
    – 26% of infants with deformational plagiocephaly have mild to severe psychomotor delay (Kordestani, Patel, et al., 2006)ReplyCancel

  • Stacy - I had a lot of vague symptoms of celiac disease, but when I realized that canker sores were one of them, I just knew I had it, and confirmed it through testing. I used to get them all the time. Now I only get them after accidental gluten injestion.ReplyCancel

  • KellyC - I know this is an old post, but I just came across it.

    When I gave up gluten/wheat, my LIFELONG problem with canker sores vanished. I was seriously plagued from childhood through adulthood with them, and almost always had one somewhere.
    I do not miss them, and I will never knowingly eat wheat or gluten of any kind again. I've been GF for several years now.ReplyCancel
