F.D.A. Sets Standard on Labeling “Gluten Free”
• 8/2/13 – Federal government set standard for gluten-free claims on food labels – would help the 3 million Americans with celiac disease
• Congress passed law in 2004 calling FDA to set standards for how much trace gluten could be in foods whose labels said they were gluten free – to protect people with the disease
• FDA set a gluten limit of 20 parts per million in products labeled gluten free

Gluten-free diet reduces adiposity, inflammation and insulin resistance associated with the induction of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma expression
• Gluten-free animals showed a reduction in body weight gain and adiposity, without changes in food intake or lipid excretion
• Results were associated with up-regulation of PPAR-α, which are related to lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation

Pass on the Bread
• Food is a powerful epigenetic modulator
• Can change our DNA for better or worse
• Average American consumption: 133 lbs of wheat per year
• Gluten “silent germ”
Grain Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter
Sources of Gluten
• Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley
• It is also commonly found in oats (and sometimes other grains) that become contaminated during processingEur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008;20:545-554
• There are also many hidden sources of gluten
Potential Hidden Gluten Sources
• Sauces and gravies (wheat flour often used as thickener)
• Marinades
• Soy sauce – use GF tamari instead
• Ketchup
• Cereal
• Stocks
• Salad dressings
• Yogurt and ice-cream (wheat flour often added to prevent ice-forming)
• Hot dogs
• Dips
• Mixed spices (flour often used to prevent caking)
• Candies
• Lunch meats
• Spaghetti sauces
• Soups
• Tabbouleh (contains barley)
• Alternative milks: rice, almond, soy (may contain gluten)
• Instant formula
• Some sodas (esp. those containing caramel coloring – may derive from wheat)
• HVP – hydrolyzed vegetable protein
• Matzo
• Imitation crab
• Miso
• Starch
• MSG (can be derived from wheat)
• Artificial color
• Etc…
Non-Food Possible Gluten Sources
• Charcoal briquettes

Can I Have Some Gluten?
• Eating any amount of gluten can cause damage to small intestines and prevent nutrients from being absorbed into the bloodstream
Pregnant Women
• Babies born to women who are sensitive to gluten live with increased risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders in life
The American Journal of Psychiatry, 2012
Gluten Effect on the Brain
• An-gliadin anti-body – releases cytokines which are highly antagonistic to the brain
• Anti-gliadin anti-bodies combine with specific proteins in the brain that look like the gliadin protein found in foods leads to more cytokines

PRPs are Difficult to Digest
• Due to their high stability, proline-rich proteins (PRPs) are very difficult to break down
• The digestive enzymes present in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract are insufficient to completely break down PRPs including gluten
• This is true even in healthy and normal individuals
• In order to properly digest and absorb protein, the body must break down protein into individual amino acids
Food Microbiol. 2007;24:115-119Acta Paediatr Suppl. 1996;412:3-9Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2002;283:G996-G1003
A. niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) for digestive support
• AN-PEP is a naturally occurring enzyme produced from Aspergillus niger, a microorganism commonly cultured to make food and supplement-grade products including:
• Alpha-galactosidase (a digestive enzyme used in popular products to decrease flatulence)
• Gluconates (e.g. zinc gluconate)
• Citric acid
(Image: A. niger, genome.jgi-psf.org, 02/06/2015)
A. niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP)
• A. niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) is considered a “proline-specific endoprotease” because it digests proteins and peptides over their entire length
• Other endoproteases include the endogenous digestive enzymes pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin
• This is in contrast to “exoproteases”, which preferentially break down only the ends of peptide chains
AN-PEP: Resistant to Stomach Conditions — Acidic pH
• AN-PEP exhibited maximum activity at pH 4.5
• AN-PEP retained nearly 100% of it’s enzymatic activity after 1 hour in the presence of endogenous enzymes.
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2006;291:G621-G629
AN-PEP: Digests Gluten Peptides
• In an antibody-based assay, AN-PEPwas incubated with 4 different gluten peptides (including gliadin and glutenin peptides)
• After 30 minutes, two of the 4 tested peptides could no longer be detected
• After an additional 90 minutes, one more peptide could no longer be detected and 90% of the remaining peptide had been destroyed
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2006 Oct;291(4):G621-9
AN-PEP: Digests Whole Gluten Protein
• AN-PEP was incubated with intact/whole gluten molecules (along with the native digestive enzymes pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin)
• The mixture was then separated via HPLC and analyzed via mass spectrometry
• AN-PEP had digested the gluten molecules into 152 unique fragments
152 Peptides+ AN-PEP
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2006 Oct;291(4):G621-9
AN-PEP: Digests Gluten Rapidly
• The speed of protein digestion was tested by incubating AN-PEP with 4 different gluten peptides at pH 4.5
• The half-life of the reactions ranged from 2.4-6.2 minutes
Gluten Peptide Half-Life (minutes)
α-Gliadin (Glia-α-9) 3.87
γ-Gliadin (Glia-γ-1) 2.36
LMW-Glutenin (Glt-156) 5.80
HMW-Glutenin 6.19

AN-PEP: Gluten Digestion in a Clinical Study
• In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, healthy volunteers were fed gluten
Gastroenterology. 2014;146(5):S - 545
AN-PEP: Gluten Digestion in a Human Clinical Study• Compared to placebo: AN-PEP:
• Significantly lowered the concentration of alpha-gliadin in the stomach and in the duodenum
• Digested nearly all alpha-gliadin in the stomach within one hour
• Digested alpha-gliadin to the point that it was nearly undetectable in the duodenum
Gastroenterology. 2014;146(5):S - 545
Dr. Rob’s Key Take-Away
• Clinically shown to breakdown gluten before entering the small intestine
• Demonstrated to be effective in acidic condition similar to the stomach
• Digestion of gluten peptides is rapid
• Used when “dining out” in case of accidental, incidental trace exposure to gluten
• (Reality check) May benefit patients who deviate from their gluten-free diet for a special occasion
Endurance athletes who ‘go against the grain’ become incredible fat-burners

Concussions
• Over 3.8 million concussions reported a year
• Over 250,000 kids every year present to the ER room with concussion from a sport
• Once you receive a concussion, you are 1.5 times more likely to receive a second concussion
• After the 2nd one, you are 3 times more likely to have a 3rd one
Concussion rehab
Multisystem approach:
• Musculoskeletal system
• Balance
• Visual disturbances
• Dizziness
• Laser
• Nutrition support
Concussion Nutrition ProtocolFeed the concussionInitially After Injury – within 1 day
1) Protein: helps heal the injury. Take 1g/kg of body weight
2) Creatine: gives the brain an intense/immediate energy to heal cells
3) Reduce inflammatory damage to brain DHA, bromelain, quercetin, ginger, turmeric, resveratrol, grapeseed extract
4) Antioxidants: alpha-lipoic acid
5) Choline: critical for brain development
6) Vitamin D: neuroprotective
7) Zinc: enzyme for CNS
8) Magnesium: great weapon against delayed brain injury
9) Acetyl-L-carnitine: energizes the brain

Concussion increases odds of sustaining a lower extremity musculoskeletal injury after return to play among collegiate athletes
Conclusion: Concussed athletes have increased odds of sustaining an acute lower extremity musculoskeletal injury after return to play than their non-concussed teammates. Study results suggest further investigation of neurocognitive and motor control deficits may be warranted beyond the acute injury phase to decrease risk for subsequent injury
A single concussion may triple the long-term risk of suicide
• New study of mild concussions in Canadian adults suggests risks are even higher for recreational activities

Young athletes have an increased risk of prolonged post-concussion symptoms
• Ages 13-18 took an average of 90% longer to recover
• Study demonstrated an increased probability of prolonged concussion symptoms among lighter weight females vs. heavier weight
• Consider “playing up” on varsity teams
J of Pediatricians, Jan 8, 2016
Women’s Brains May Have Tougher Time Recovering From Concussion• Research shows female athletes suffer concussions at higher rate than
male athletes playing similar sports
• One theory – women have weaker muscles in the neck that are a factor in how head injures affect them
Broglio, S., Ellemberg, D. Apr 28, 2015, Radiology online
Menstrual cycle influences concussion outcomes• Women injured during the 2 weeks leading up to their period
(premenstrual stage) had slower recovery and poorer health 1 month after injury compared to women injured during the 2 weeks directly after their period or women taking birth control pills
• Progesterone is known to have a calming effect on the brain and on mood
Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation Dec. 2010, p.2255-60
Menstrual cycle influences concussion outcomes (cont’d)• “Withdrawal hypothesis”: If a woman suffers a concussion in the
premenstrual phase when progesterone levels are naturally high, an abrupt drop in progesterone after injury produces a kind of withdrawal which either contributes to or worsens post concussive symptoms like headache, nausea, dizziness and trouble concentrating
