Re: Gluten sensitivity???

My Dr thought I have the pyroluria symptoms. Among other things suggested I go gluten-free. In a recent patient lecture, he made the statement that all of us have gluten issues, some more than others. You could try it for 4-6 wks trial. He has given the example of a 4 yr old boy (autistic spectrum) who had not talked. In one wk of GF, started talking. Now in high school and behaves as a normal teen. Don’t sell GF short. It affects us in so many ways.

Here is a sample of a Google search of “pyroluria + gluten”

Mild cases of Pyroluria won’t induce many of the more severe symptoms or conditions mentioned above. Vitamin treatments also vary depending on the person’s diet and the severity of the test results. Milder cases will resolve in 24-48 hours and more severe ones may take months, according to Dr. McGinnis.
The most important thing to note, I think, is the fact that pyroluria often goes hand-in-hand with digestive/allergy issues. So it is a good idea to get testing done. In our son’s case his pyroluria resolved when he went gluten free.
