Gluten problems might seem like the latest fad, but 750 years ago Chinese doctors were writing about how to treat conditions resulting from too much gluten – leaky gut, IBS, autoimmune disorders, obesity and diabetes. Dr. Nieters will explain how Chinese medicine sees gluten and grains. He will also share his insights on diets to address common disorders.
