When we think of gluten sensitivity, we typically imagine symptoms of the digestive tract; bloating, diarrhoea, gas and smelly stools. 💩⁠ ⁠ While these might be the obvious signs something’s going on inside, gluten sensitivity can also be wreaking havoc on your skin, joints, hormones, mood, immune system and more.⁠ ⁠ What is Zonulin? It’s is a molecule which regulates the openings between cells in the gut lining, known as tight junctions. High levels of zonulin have been associated with increased intestinal permeability, as zonulin induces the breakdown of these tight junctions leading to leaky gut.⁠ ⁠ Leaky gut, or “intestinal permeability,” is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, causing undigested food particles, toxic waste products and bacteria to “leak” through the intestines and flood the blood stream. The foreign substances entering the blood are transported throughout the body, including to the brain.⁠ ⁠ But what does this all have to do with gluten? ⁠ It turns out that gluten is a strong trigger of zonulin in some individuals. "No human being completely digests gluten," says Fasano. "And in a small percentage of us, that undigested gluten triggers the release of zonulin," ⁠ Researchers interested in learning if a gluten free diet could lessen the severity of the anxiety symptoms in CD patients, conducted a one year study to learn more. The researchers followed 35 patients with coeliac disease who were placed on a gluten-free diet for one year. At baseline, 72% of participants had significant levels of anxiety; this dropped to 25% at the end of the trial. A gluten-free diet in patients with gluten problems does seem to reduce levels of anxiety.⁠ ⁠ -Addolorato G et al. Anxiety but not depression decreases in coeliac patients after one-year gluten-free diet: a longitudinal study. Scand J Gastroenterol. 2001;36:502-506.⁠ ⁠ It’s important to note that not all cases of neurological symptoms are caused by gluten. However, issues like depression and anxiety CAN be part of the picture of gluten sensitivity.⁠ ⁠ Talk to your Qualified Natural Health Practitioner to find out about gut health testing to find out more. 💛

The Gut-Brain axis is term for the two-way communication between what happens in digestion and how this influences our brains, and vice versa. You’re probably familiar with the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, well this is the gut-brain axis in action. This communication is both direct, through the nervous system and biochemical, through the release and response to various chemicals and neurotransmitters.⁠ ⁠ The Vagus nerve is one of the direct connections between the gut and brain. How well the Vagus nerve is functioning and thus, how well the gut and the brain are communicating, can have an effect on everything from anxiety levels and negative feelings to brain fog and IBS to addictions, weight gain and much more.⁠ ⁠ This pathway is a player in our parasympathetic or ‘unconscious’ nervous system, the one which also regulates heart rate and digestion. Without conscious control over this, those butterflies are hard to stop once they start to flutter. ⁠ ⁠ Here’s a few things we CAN do to calm the fluttering:⁠ ⁠ 🎶Humming. The vibrations send calming messages from the throat via the vagal nerve to the brain.⁠ ⁠ 🧘Diaphragmic breathing. Place a hand on your chest and one on your belly. Breathe in through your nose deep into your belly, and feel the hand on your belly fall as you slowly breathe out. Notice that the hand on your chest remains still.⁠ ⁠ 🚿Cold showers or ice immersion. Popularised most recently by Wil Hof, research into the benefits of cold exposure demonstrate that vagal tone is one of the reasons why this well-loved technique helps to reduce anxiety and stress.⁠ ⁠ 🌱Herbal Medicine. Your practitioner may select specific herbs to assist with calming the nervous system activity while nourishing your digestion.⁠ ⁠ 🥣Dietary fibre: Fibre increases GLP-1, a hormone that supports communication between the Vagus Nerve and brain, slows stomach emptying and makes the body feel full longer.⁠ ⁠ 🏃‍♀️Exercise regularly. Exercise stimulates the Vagus Nerve to stimulate gut flow thereby benefiting the vagal index along with excretion.⁠ ⁠ Think of your Vagal health as the key to ‘Rest, Digest and De-stress’ .

Extreme colds/flus, sensitivity to smells, chronic pains, occasional extreme dose of hives, swelling/water retention, anxiety, depression, behaviour disorders, restlessness. It impacted my life more than I knew. I had problems learning, playing sports, making friends and later keeping a job.⁠ ⁠ One of the things I had no idea was that I had intolerances to certain foods, temperatures/humidity and physical pressure/skin sensitivity. Neither did the doctors. My mother would take me to the doctor, do some tests and say there is nothing wrong with me. ⁠ ⁠ The last 5 years had been the most stressful, the most chronic and acute of my conditions because at one stage I was ingesting 11 pharmaceutical tablets a day to function at all. An Immunologist diagnosis was Chronic and Acute Urticaria Angioedema Dermatographism and a doctor who figured out I had Erythromelalgia and a Gynaecologist said I had Chronic Pain. I have also other diagnosis but I want to concentrate on these conditions.⁠ ⁠ Friends had recommended me to see Susan and it is the greatest thing I could have done. Because at this point I was eating 1 meal a day, in pain constantly and at risk of losing my job again due to flare ups.⁠ ⁠ Since seeing Susan from Oct 2019 I eat 3 meals a day, I go to work, I am active and I fit into clothes I have not been able to wear for 8 years. I have control of my life again. Not only that, it changed my husband’s way of life too.⁠ ⁠ I think the hardest thing to do is take that step and trust that it could work. I tell anyone to take that leap of faith and go see Susan Carr at Perth Allergy Clinic. Because it just might change your life. It might change how you live."⁠

An Immunologist diagnosis was Chronic and Acute Urticaria Angioedema Dermatographism and a doctor who figured out I had Erythromelalgia and a Gynaecologist said I had Chronic Pain. I have also other diagnosis but I want to concentrate on these conditions.⁠
⁠
Friends had recommended me to see Susan and it is the greatest thing I could have done. Because at this point I was eating 1 meal a day, in pain constantly and at risk of losing my job again due to flare ups.⁠
⁠
Since seeing Susan from Oct 2019 I eat 3 meals a day, I go to work, I am active and I fit into clothes I have not been able to wear for 8 years. I have control of my life again. Not only that, it changed my husband’s way of life too.⁠
⁠
I think the hardest thing to do is take that step and trust that it could work. I tell anyone to take that leap of faith and go see Susan Carr at Perth Allergy Clinic. Because it just might change your life. It might change how you live."⁠ ...

Food can play a huge role in the way we feel. Our stress levels have never been higher, and with social isolation in place and an uncertain future timeline of a return to “normal”, it is no wonder many of us are struggling with low mood and general anxiety. ⁠ ⁠ This daily stress not only affects our mental health, but is also a key driver behind inflammation and increased disease risk. The good news is that we can help nourish and support our body through food to reduce the effects of daily stress and boost our mental health. ⁠ ⁠ Research has shown us that regularly consuming a nourishing, wholefoods diet rich in key nutrients can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety significantly. It doesn’t have to be a complete dietary overhaul – make small changes and include what you enjoy – eating well shouldn’t be a chore!⁠ ⁠ Here are our top five mood-boosting foods:⁠ ⁠ 🥚Eggs - these little gems are full of protein, vitamin D. vitamin B12 and choline, which can improve help mood and support the nervous system.⁠ ⁠ 🍅Tomatoes – Rich in Folate and alpha-lipoic acid, these are both key nutrients in stabilising mood. Folic acid helps to regulate levels of inflammatory Homocysteine, which can block production of serotonin and dopamine. ⁠ ⁠ 🐟Oily fish - rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they play a key role in brain signalling and are linked to lower levels of depression, anxiety and PMS! Don't eat fish? Get your omega-3's from walnuts, avocados chia and flaxseeds.⁠ ⁠ 🥬Fermented food - food such as Kim chi, sauerkraut, yoghurt and kefir support the live bacteria in our digestive systems which are vital in producing serotonin (our good mood hormone!) ⁠ ⁠ 🍫Dark Chocolate - not only delicious, good quality dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, which have been shown to increase blood flow to your brain and regulate mood. It is also high in magnesium, vital for supporting our whole nervous system!⁠ ⁠ If you find this helpful, or know someone who needs to know this information tag them below, or DM us with any questions you might have 💛⁠

Thank you Francisco for your lovely words. It is always gratifying to receive positive feedback from our wonderful patients. ⁠ ⁠ "I came across Perth Allergy Clinic when I went for holidays in Perth, after almost seven months of intense, draining and horrific allergic reactions on my son's skin and wow what an absolutely amazing group of dedicated professionals, who care and are dedicated to seeing a great progression in my son's health.⁠ ⁠ My son GP and specialist put him on a strong steroids cream and Telfast and Zyrtec tables. Yes, it helped maintain the reactions, however it only masked the issue and did not resolve anything. In the first appointment I found out my son was allergic to a bunch of things. I'm furious that my son's allergist specialist hadn't tested for these things after being with him for over 6 months and my son suffering from allergies and horrible eczema. Really happy with Priya, I wish I had seen her first. Priya immediately put my son on a prescription of natural supplements and I noticed a difference almost immediately. His hives went from every day to the odd occasion. My son has now completed an intolerance test and was amazed at all of these foods his body was intolerant to.⁠ ⁠ Priya has been informative, considerate and reliable. During my son consultation I found Priya to be patient and understanding towards my son and me. I arrive there feeling like "here we go again" and leaving feeling like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders for almost 7 months. Holly (the nutritionist) has also blown me away with her dedication, and amazing recipes. She has been able to create a great meal plan for my son, taking into consideration the amount of foods that my son his intolerant to and with rotational meal plans to help my son improve his health and overall well being immensely. Priya is extremely friendly, welcoming and understanding and I cannot thank her enough for the time she has taken to personalize the plans thus far.⁠ ⁠ My son is well and truly on his way to complete recovery and cannot thank Priya enough.
