Funny,I lost 50 pounds going gluten free but I also don;t eat that much grain at all. Fruist, vegis and meats is what I eat. ALL grains are going to make you fat. From: Hawkridge <rayehawk@...>iodine Sent: Tue, May 24, 2011 1:36:39 PMSubject:

Would celiac disease impair the liver, which would cause problems with the conversion?"Yes, of course. Celiac can even cause liver failure.http://www.celiac.com/categories/Celiac-Disease-Research%3A-Associated-Diseases-and-Disorders/Liver-Disease-and-Celiac-Disease/And one really big point - have you gone low carb, or just switched to gluten free products? Gluten free flours are *generally* higher glycemic index, and will make you fat faster than wheat products.A low carb diet will help to cleanse and revitalize your liver."The different diets produced other differences in glucose metabolism. For example, people on a low-calorie diet got about 40 percent of their glucose from glycogen, which is comes

from ingested carbohydrates and is stored in the liver until the body needs it.

The low-carbohydrate dieters, however, got only 20 percent of their glucose from glycogen. Instead of dipping into their reserve of glycogen, these subjects burned liver fat for energy.

The findings are significant because the accumulation of excess fat in the liver — primarily a form of fat called triglycerides — can result in

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD. The condition is the most common form of liver disease in Western countries, and its incidence is growing. Dr. Browning has previously shown that NAFLD may affect as many

as one-third of U.S. adults. The disease is associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity, and it can lead to liver inflammation, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

“Energy production is expensive for the liver,†Dr. Browning said. “It appears that for the people on a low-carbohydrate diet, in order to meet

that expense, their livers have to burn excess fat.â€

Results indicate that patients on the low-carbohydrate diet increased fat burning throughout the entire body.

Dr. Browning and his colleagues will next study whether the changes that

occur in liver metabolism as a result of carbohydrate restriction could

help people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Previous research has shown a correlation between carbohydrate intake and NAFLD."http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/utsw/cda/dept353744/files/513557.htmlI tend to believe the Paleo or Primal diet movement is best . . .
