Christchurch-based paediatrician, allergist and author, Doctor Rodney Ford,
disputes the assumption commonly held by medical practitioners
that a person has to suffer from Coeliac disease to be sensitive to gluten,
a protein which is found in wheat.
.
Dr Ford’s clinical research and conclusions that gluten not only affects
the small intestine but also the brain, skin and nervous system.
.
His research has led him to believe that up to one third of all cases of chronic illness
and fatigue could be caused through gluten sensitivity,
and up to 1 in 10 (10%) people maybe suffering from what he has identified as
“The Gluten Syndrome.” .
