Gluten is a protein found in breads and cereals. In a small percentage of people, ingestion of gluten can trigger an autoimmune disease. Here we review the evidence that gluten-induced autoimmunity can mimic ALS, as well as the pros and cons of a gluten-free diet for people with ALS.
Thanks for you awesome research and Podcast! As you know it's possible Gluten is the tip of the Lectin iceberg. I recently read Dr. Steven Gundry's book, The Plant Paradox, where he states that he has client with advanced ALS that followed the Gundry Eating Protocals which stopped the rapidly progressing ALS. Any research-studies-comments? Thanks. Mike
