When Keith McDonald started to experience a lot of bloating and pain in his stomach, he went to the doctor who told him that he had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and that there was nothing to be done. But then things got worse and the doctors did a scan and told him they would have to remove his spleen. He refused.
Instead, he researched his symptoms and linked them to gluten. So he cut out gluten and after two weeks, his symptoms disappeared.
Now he knows he's celiac, so he eats accordingly: no wheat, barley, rye, corn, and even some brands of spices because he is super sensitive to gluten.
Cutting out gluten helped his joint pain go away, and he did lose some weight, but what really transformed his health was intermittent fasting.  The hardest thing for him was cutting out snacking, but then he felt the benefits of eating better and less often (not less!).
And his weight went down and settled at a healthy level.

His message for us consumers and patients: You have to be your own advocate.
