Asthma: Celiac Disease, Food Intolerance, and Bronchial Inhalers

Did you know there is a direct, and scientifically validated, relationship between Asthma and both Celiac Disease and Food Intolerance?

Did you also know that a bronchial inhaler might possibly be the worse thing a physician can prescribe to a sufferer of asthma?

Please take some time to review the following important, and eye-opening, information if you or someone you know suffers from asthma...

  I. Food Intolerance and Asthma

One of the numerous examples of the relationship between asthma and food intolerance is an article previously published in the internationally recognized peer-reviewed journal, "Annals of Allergy".

According to the findings published in the study entitled, 'The Spectrum of Adverse Reactions to Foods In Subjects Having Respiratory Allergic Disease' (Annals of Allergy, William T. Kniker, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, University of Texas), "One of the important findings of this study is the incidence of food sensitivity in older children and adults with respiratory allergic disease of asthma, rhinitis or both."

 II. Celiac Disease and Asthma

One of the numerous examples of the medical research showing the relationship between asthma and Celiac Disease is the 2011 study published in "The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology".

According to the findings reported in the study, 'Celiac disease confers a 1.6-fold increased risk of asthma: A nationwide population-based cohort study' ('The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology', Volume 127, Issue 4 , Pages 1071-1073.e4, April 2011), "People with the digestive disorder known as Celiac Disease are more likely to develop another disorder involving the immune system: asthma, according to a new study."

In this study, a group of European researchers found that people with Celiac Disease were 60 percent more likely to develop asthma, relative to those without CD.

It is science-based information, such as the examples shared in this email message to you, which motivates our company's position to be that those with Celiac Disease and/or Food Intolerance(s) are at a higher risk of developing asthma or experiencing a measurable increase in the symptoms associated with their Celiac Disease and/or Food Intolerance(s).

III. Bronchial Inhalers:

For at least the past two decades (20 years), medical professionals and allergists have been warning about the possible complications bronchial inhalers might cause for asthma suffers.

In fact, open domain information on the Internet shows that Celiac and food intolerance experts, such as acclaimed James Braly, M.D., allergy specialist and international best-selling author, warned about the danger of inhalers as far back as 1993.  At that time, medical professionals suggested there is growing evidence the 300% increased in the mortality rate for asthma suffers since 1980 is due to the common use of beta agonist/adrenaline-like brochoinhalers.  

According to experts, such as Dr. Braly, "Asthma should not be viewed primarily as an obstructive or constrictive airway disease; this extremely popular belief has dictated the over-prescription and abuse of inhalers to dilate or enlarge the asthmatic's airways. Instead the airways in an asthmatic patient should be seen as being chronically irritated, supersensitive and inflamed all of the time. In fact, these inhalers can make the airways more sensitive. Once this critical principle is understood, most of all the therapeutic challenge has been solved." 

What is the likely cause of this inflammation and irritability?  The published medical literature has suggested it is airborne and delayed food allergies (food intolerance); and encourages each and every asthmatic sufferer to seek help in identifying and eliminating allergens from their diet and environment. 

Additionally, though Better Control of Health (BCH) does not believe all asthma suffers might not require a bronchial inhaler, our position is that many individuals utilizing a bronchial inhaler for their asthma may likely find better benefit in addressing their Food Intolerance(s) and eliminating IgG-reactive foods from their diet.

We hope this information has been of some benefit.  Please do not hesitate to contact though Better Control of Health (BCH) if you have any questions about the information in this message or Better Control of Health may be of further assistance to you in your quest for optimum health.
