Gluten is a big buzzword.

Some people believe it’s a fad, and others believe it poses a real health problem. And some people avoid the topic all together because they have emotional attachments to gluten-rich foods.

Reneé S. Barasch, LDHS, Certified Digestive Health Specialist, is now exclusively at ADIO Chiropractic Clinic in LIbertyville; teaming up with Dr. Danny McLane at 316 Peterson Road.

I was interviewed by Ben Joravsky on Chicago’s Progressive Talk Radio station. Take a listen!

If we are eating a healthy diet, but still have digestive issues, it might be time to examine how well our internal plumbing is working and see what’s going on in there.

Most of Barasch’s clients have long suffered, but not found relief, despite negative or inconclusive examinations. Her approach is different, and does not involve endoscopy or high-tech hospital tests.
