Hey guys! Finally sharing an updated video on all things Gluten Free! I hope this can help you out!
My story follows yours except I also have a dairy sensitivity. I realized it when I did Eat to Live. I only ate fruits, veggies and beans for six weeks. When I added gluten and dairy back in, I could immediately tell the difference in how I felt. It's been about six years now and I've learned that I feel my best eating whole foods.
Hey Kendra! Haven't even watched the video yet, but I know it's gonna be a good one. You always bring such a refreshing perspective to your content, and I always look forward to watching. I'm LOVING all of these holistic videos you've been posting lately. It really is all about mind, body, and spirit. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life :)
So so glad! Yes trying to focus more on that lately!
This is such a great and informative video. Thank you for sharing all these useful tips & tricks! ♥️
Very cute pullover sweater btw! Where did you get it from?! 😍🌸
thanks! oily moon essentials
After being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease (autoimmune condition) I have now gone gluten free for 2 weeks and I now feel great. (I am also on thyroid meds for 4months, GF for 2 weeks) my body feels lighter, more energy, less bloating, no brain fog etc. Grains and gluten are inflammatory in the body and anything that causes inflammation is not positive. Cutting gluten has also meant that I now do not eat unhealthy processed foods because I can’t which is great, I don’t go to McDonald’s, kfc and I don’t crave it anymore.
Yes, you need to be eating gluten when you are tested for celiac. They have blood work for it called TTG. They can do a genetic blood test you don't need to be gluten free for. The gold standard test for celiac is a stomach biopsy.
Came to comment this same thing. Agree
Not true
@@velocitygirl8551 ok, we don't have to agree. I am going off of what my sons specialist told us.
You actually don't need to be diagnosed. Just go on the diet and if symptoms disappear get on with your life.
I noticed that I feel bloated quite often and have definitely thought about trying a gluten free time period to test it out - you bring up good points about dairy sensitivity though too!
Great video Kendra! Can you explain how you manage your emotions since you don’t have an emotional attachment to food?
I felt exactly the same when I excluded gluten, literally like a fog lifted. Now I see those foods as kind of ‘non foods’ and really don’t crave them. It gets so much easier once you learn what you can and can’t eat. I would say, it really helps if you like eggs 🍳
Thank you for this video Kendra, so timely! I went through a battery of test recently and found out that no Celiac for me but definitely very sensitive to glutens (wheat, rice, oats, barley, etc), dairy and sugars. I was a Trader Joe’s earlier this week and I found myself getting emotional because I don’t know what I can eat, felt like I can enjoy food anymore and just overwhelmed with where to start with my food lifestyle. This gives me solace that I’m not alone and I can do this. Thank you!!!!
Oh yes don't be sad!! You will just get used to it over time and it'll be second nature!
Yes!! Would love to see your mom come on and talk about nutrition/food video!! 💗💗💗 I always wanted to see what she knew ever since she made you and Andrew a dinner that you showed which was a super healthy (enchiladas maybe?) version and you said she was a health nut 😂 I think you guys were in an apartment at the time way back then
I have a wheat allergy so this is helpful!
Wow our experiences are so similar. First of all, gluten intolerance AND celiac run in my
Moms side as well. I always wanted to start a gluten free diet knowing I’d probably be intolerant as I got older as they did. But before I decided to start, I was pretty much forced to. The headaches are so intense (if they are related to this issue for me) and the pain after spaghetti omg every time!!! Anyway, last Saturday ate a bunch of Chinese food and I was so bloated for over 24 hours and IN SO MUCH pain at work. I haven’t touched gluten since and you posting this, while I’ve already had my notification bell on, was literally exactly the video I needed right now in the beginning of my new diet! Thanks for all the help I really enjoyed this video!!! 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Even Chinese food WITHOUT noodles/rice has gluten. It's in the SOY SAUCE!! Predominant ingredient is WHEAT!
Hi Kendra, My experiences have been pretty similar to you, so I won’t repeat the same information. I just wanted to add some other side effects I have noticed that won’t mentioned. I have noticed a big improvement with period pain since being gluten free. I have also generalised anxiety disorder and being gluten free definitely helps to reduce my anxiety levels too. Such an informative video. Thank you for spreading awareness.
My sensitivity to gluten came in the form of bloated hard tummy and chest pain and these painful painful migraines on a daily basis. Feels so much better when I don’t eat it dairy effects me as well, indigestion for one
A good way to know if you have any food reactions is that you should not feel stuffed after eating normal sized meals. Also you should not have digestive issues such as constipation or diarrhea. Neither is normal unless you have a specific illness. If you have any of these problems over time you're having some kind of issue with the foods you are eating. My sensitivity is to wheat, oats, and dairy - but wheat is by far the worst. It takes me several weeks to recover from eating wheat. There is a lot you can eat while avoiding wheat - any meat, vegetable, fruit, and nuts for example. Ironically if you avoid most gluten free processed substitutes you will end up eating much more healthy.
In my family it skips generations in the women of our family. They all were never diagnosed until early 30s but I have noticed symptoms now
Listen to the no grain no pain book. Im on day 7. No suger no gluten and no grain
why no grain is that gluten
I was experiencing crazy stomach aches and bloating. I took gluten out of my diet and I feel sooooo much better! It was 100% the problem. Thank you for this video! I definitely need to lower my sugar and dairy intake.
That is so great! So glad you are feeling better!
What is your favorite type of gf flour? I bake a lot is the ap flour similar to regular?
Really interesting! I went GF three months ago, glad I found you ❤️
I’ve not gone gluten free but cut way back till the day comes I can give it up all together
The first day I went gluten free I bought the Carbonaut bread. Totally ripped up my stomach and I wanted to give up. Looked At The package and it has 54% fiber! I also have a rough time with pea protein so I know what you’re talking about!!!
Where is your current kitchen backsplash from? Love it.
here is a link! bit.ly/3ddZXfi
Thanks for this video! What is the name of the food sensitivity/allergy test that you did?
everly well
I watched a video recently that said you have to eat 4 slices of bread for six weeks to have enough gluten to test for Celiac. Yikes! I just turned 68 and a new doctor believes my life long "sensitive stomach" and chronic constipation is from gluten and lactose intolerance. So I'm on a strict FODMAP diet and what a difference it has made!
Thank you for this video! I suspect I have a GF allergy. I went to the Dr for bloodwork and it ruled out galbladder/ulcer issues. I get sharp pains under rib cage that shoot down both sides. Carbonated drinks make it worse. I'll make an appt for a test but in the meantime I bought all GF food for work to see if the pain subsides. Strange that it can creep up in my age (I'm in my mid 40s). I even gave up apple cider vinegar thinking that was the cause🤷♀️
How come the kiddos have not been on video lately? I really love watching Owen to from one thing to another.
So April will be 5 years of being gluten free for me.
I used to suffer from chronic migraines. They were really bad too. I'd have to leave work, or call out of work often. The year I decided to go gluten free I ended up in the ER needing four bags of IV fluids due to severe dehydration from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. Not much is known as to what causes it, but research has shown patients with CVS have a family prevalence of migraine headaches. Studies also show that diets that help reduce CVS attacks include gluten-free diet, and paleo diets. So I went gluten free. And here we are almost 5 years later no migraines, and no vomiting.
I have noticed though, if I eat something that has gluten, I will get a migraine. So I know that if I eat something with gluten I will get a migraine. I could possibly end up having an episode of vomiting (And let me just state that my vomiting episodes last 2 1/2 weeks) .... and neither of those are worth it.
That is crazy! Diet is huge and I'm so glad you feel better now!

I went on my first girls trip after having a baby and came home with crazy headaches, tingly hands, a red patchy spot on my face, and sores in my mouth. It came on suddenly, but I cut a bunch of foods, including gluten, and it all went away. I’ve been able to add a few things back, like avocado and dairy, but not gluten or tree nuts. Maybe the problem was always there, but having a baby and then weaning a year later made the symptoms really severe? It’s been 2 years now gf/nut free. Love your channel!
I know this is old, but mine started during my first pregnancy. I am pregnant again two years later and having the same problems but worse. I've heard pregnancy can be a trigger for celiac so I imagine it's the same with allergies/intolerances
I'm starting slow with the gluten free lifestyle. I read that it can help psoriasis and I also have those bumps on my whole body.
What is a good brand of probiotics to take?
I’ve wondered if I should avoid gluten. I notice if I eat too much bread/pasta I get a headache after. You’d think I’d stop but no 🤦🏼♀️. Not so much stomach pains, but I do need to use the bathroom sometimes after I eat it (tmi 🤷♀️). I really need to pay attention to what I eat and see. With 4 kids sometimes it’s easy to grab something easy. I need to get better options for me.
Yes headache is totally related!
My blood test came back positive but they need to do a biopsy to confirm celiac diagnosis. And yes, you have to be eating gluten to do the test. I ate it for 2 weeks before the biopsy, came back negative, then another doctor said I wasnt eating gluten for long enough before the test...should be 3 months or so. No thanks, I felt so miserable it was enough to confirm to me I shouldn't eat it.
I did have bumps on my arms and nape of my neck...not really pimples, kind of like little blistery bumps.
Oh interesting! My bumps were more like little raised bumps, like smaller than a pimple.
Ive been tested for EVERYTHING under the sun and have a bad gut. My celiac and lactose came back negative. SIBO...bacteria overgrowth...etc. all negative. I also have a background of an restrictive eating disorder so its hard to cut out anything but i have those bumps on the back of my arms and legs as well. Ugh idk what to do
Ya I feel like a lot of stuff can't necessarily be detected by a test. For me is just trial and error of diet to see how it affects you.
I've trying gluten free I've suffered for 2 years now with headache
Stomach pain bloating
Joint pain
Numbness in arms and legs
Anxiety and depression
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 4 years ago when I was 28 and had the exact same symptoms you described. I was suffering for about a year before I finally got an answer. Sometimes the blood test can give false results, which is why it’s good to do the intestinal biopsy as well. You do have to be eating gluten for at least a couple of weeks for the test to be accurate. It’s important to get tested before going gluten free because if you do actually have celiac disease, you will be damaging your intestines every time you eat gluten, which can lead to long term health problems like cancer and other autoimmune diseases. Even cross contamination will damage my insides. It’s hard but I’ve learned so much over the past few years and it has become easier!
Do you feel effects after everything with gluten though? Like normal flour tortillas never affect me, or sauces and what not. So that makes me think it must just be an intolerance.
@@kendraatkins yes I definitely have severe symptoms with even a trace amount of gluten. It’s so hard to tell without testing because celiac disease presents differently in each person. Some people have no symptoms at all, it’s crazy!
Yes! I thought the uncomfortable stomach aching was what "full" felt like for a long time! After years of eating what I shouldn't my symptoms got worse and my Mom went gluten free first and her symptoms went away so she recommended I try it. So yes it definitely runs in families.
I have the bumps on my arms and legs (keratosis pilaris) but have been strictly gluten free for 7 years now and still have them (not as bad but def still noticable) so idk. Also I did cheat in the beginning when I was playing around with going gluten free and quickly realized it wasn't worth it. Many times I would be laying in bed saying "if I could bottle this feeling and remember it I would never eat gluten again!" It legitimately feels like I swallowed a brick and it just sits in there and is so uncomfortable for at least 24 hours. Its like my body just doesn't even know how to clear it out and it's painful. I have had some success if I accidentally eat something I shouldn't and I can get good digestive enzymes in and probiotics before the pain sets in... it can cut the duration of the stomach ache down a bit.
Eat whole foods! Veggies, meat, fish, eggs, and potatoes. If you are new to gf and feeling like you are missing out... I have found Canyon Bakehouse to be the best gf bread, they also have bagels. Van's gf waffles are decent.
yes those are the exact same bumps! And the bottle it up quote is so accurate!! Our symptoms are so similar. And yes forgot to mention gluten/digestive enzyme pills. I do take those in case of emergency!! :)) Yes to the whole foods!!
It may take a while for the bumps to go away. I'm not sure how long it took for mine to go away because I randomly noticed it a long time after I started limiting gluten. Initially I wasn't sure if it was gluten or dairy that caused it because I started limiting both at the same time.
Grass allergy Twinsies hahah best excuse for not cutting the grass as a kid hahah 😂
Im to scared to go to the doctor so im going to just try going gluten free I get so anxious at the doctor's and the idea of the tests worry me. If I see improvement ill keep it up if I dont then I guess ill have to go incase its something else
Cant you have GF bread and pasta? Some restaurants have those too right?
Ya totally! But I try to avoid things that are made just to be GF. I'd rather order tacos or a salad or something that's just naturally gluten free.
If you look at it "logically" it makes more sense. You have literally diagnosed your reaction to gluten. To say you are sensitive to gluten, it could be that you are just starting to see the symptoms. By going gluten free and having the symptoms disappear is a good indication that if you have the gene and continue to consume it you could very well develop the intolerance and ultimately Celiac Disease. The fact that you feel a difference, then it only makes sense to give it up for good and never have to worry about developing anything. You don't have to punish yourself for the sake of any diagnosis. There is too much emphasis on having to know or identify officially what something is that causes you distress. I think more people should experiment with their diet to see if there are significant changes to their health. The only thing I would disagree with is that Celiac Disease "is" Gluten Intolerance. Gluten intolerance is the reaction and Celiac is the name given to it. I know people think it is different. Sensitivity is in my opinion the very early stages of the condition. Also, I agree that naturally gluten free whole foods provide the best diet choice. Thanks for your upload and spreading the word about "diet" as being the most important diagnostic tool. Food is "fuel" and nothing else.
I was told by a holistic dr that I needed to avoid wheat. I will say, when I avoid wheat, I also have these same reliefs... less bloating, less (mostly no) abdominal, gut area pain, less brain fog and much fewer headaches.
The dr told me that wheat and gluten are different. Ive done a litttle research on it and they seem to be very similar And almost one in the same.
Do you happen to know anything about this?
Ya to me I just avoid both, it's too hard deciphering which is which in all foods.
if I eat once a week small bread is that fine?
Wow, You Looks So Beautiful !!!!
Where did you get your sweatshirt?

With celiac you shouldn't have even a trace of gluten (normal oats have traces of gluten!) because that's enough to trigger the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine. This doesn't only cause malabsorption but also increases the risk of some types of bowl Cancer. All that is not the case for glutenintolerance.
Yes! And that's how I know I don't have Celiac because I have a lot of trace amounts and am fine.
Wonderful informative vlog. Those stomachaches sound just awful.
My mom is super sensitive to gluten and I’m a full blown celiac lol I wish I could eat a little here and there but I’d be a mess.
Ya that’s how I know I don’t have celiac. I still can eat sauces and things like that
@@kendraatkins you can definitely be asymptomatic Celiac though as well. I cant tell if I've been glutened.
@@kendraatkins you do need to have gluten in your body for a minimum of 60 days before getting tested for Celiac. On occasion I’ll accidentally get soy sauce and I don’t react or I have mild reactions. Have you done the 23 and Me genetic test? I’ve done it and I came back positive for the celiac gene variation. Which we knew I would since I’ve been diagnosed but it is a way to test yourself without expiring your body to prolonged gluten intake.
I’m celiac disease
👏👏👏👍👍👍
I'm definitely not to the phase where I dont crave gluten filled items but it is really not too hard to be gluten free these days thanks to the fad LOL
haha yes for sure!
Go low carb or carnivore, so it s easy
