A Note from Our Chief Nutrition Advisor: What’s The Big Deal about Gluten and Casein?

by Kathie Madonna Swift MS RD LDN

Gluten and casein are components of the typical American diet that some individuals with chronic health complaints may be better off without. This is most likely because gluten and casein ingestion in sensitive individuals can stimulate a cascade of events that deteriorates digestive function. Every system in the body can be affected as the fragments of gluten and casein go on a digestive rampage. The immune system and the nervous system in the gut are negatively impacted by this dietary duo which leads to a host of ailments including headaches, behavioral changes, chronic fatigue, irritable and inflammatory bowel, weight gain or weight loss and more. The good news: following an elimination diet that excludes these dietary antagonists can restore balance and optimize your health.
What are the sources of gluten and casein in the diet?
Gluten: An umbrella term for a family of proteins found in certain grains including wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut and other grains/grain products that are “cross-contaminated” with gluten
Casein: One of the major proteins in milk and milk products (cow, goat and sheep)
If you think you might be gluten or casein sensitive is there an easy way to check?
Try eliminating one of the items (gluten or casein) from your diet for three weeks and then gradually re-introduce it into your diet. If you notice a difference in bodily functions and how you feel, you may be sensitive to that item.
How much time does it take to start noticing the difference from a gluten and casein free diet?
The time varies tremendously. Some people may experience noticeable differences in symptoms within days to weeks. Other people may require a mega dose of patience because they may not experience a change in their condition for months.
