    Wheat should be avoided if you're intolerant of its taste.

    I eat 14 Weet-bix in a single meal, and the only side effect I've experienced is unbridled happiness.

    It's so tough to decide who is credible: the people who are built, or a cartoon with no progress and no evidence.

    Yes

    and to think, I got flagged for validating the op, but the PA kids are letting this just fly right by. lol.

    Such angry. Very cheerleader. LOL.

    So fat. Hi Human.

    I'm just trolling and loling all day today round here.

    Have any of you ever heard of purple mountain's majesty and amber waves of grain. IT'S UNAMERICAN TO AVOID WHEAT. If you don't like it you get geeeet oooooout.

    I see no harm in going gluten free for a couple of weeks just to see how you feel. If you feel better without it, consider making it a permanent change. If you see no difference, the choice is yours whether you return to eating wheat. I voluntarily went gluten free in 2003, not because of weight, but because I was experiencing some digestive discomfort. My digestion improved greatly after being gluten free for a few weeks, so I stuck with it. Losing 40 pounds the first year of being gluten free was an unexpected bonus. If you decide to try it, replacing your wheat-based items with vegetables is probably the best way to go. If you have your heart set on grains, there are healthy choices such as quinoa, millet, teff, chia and flax as long as you eat them in moderation.

    Seriously. It will kill you slowly. Every day your health will become worse and worse in aggregate, until you expire.

    Do you really want to die?

    This is kind of true of life in general. All people's health worsens. All people die.

    Wouldn't attribute that to wheat though.

    Pffff, I am 23 years old getting stronger and healthier every day. No way do I look at life like that at all. I am still growing. I haven't decided yet if I want to be the first person to never die.

    I suppose if neither of us never die, then neither of us can be solely the first to never die...right? Kinda?
  • The "Gluten Free" and "NO Carbs" diets confusing people. My sister has celiac disease so she can't have wheat or gluten. I was tested for a wheat allergy and tested negative. My doctor told me that eating organic wheat products is more healthy than non-organic wheat, other than that there is no reason to completely remove grains from your diet.

    damn, truth. In one hundred years, we'll sit enjoying an 80 year old scotch that has not yet been made... and we'll think back upon this day and laugh.

    First one is in vivo mouse research?

    2nd link "Article not found"

    3rd link "Most people who have food allergies to milk and wheat also have problems with peptides from these foods interacting with their brain and causing an opiate-like effect. However, some individuals may not show a food allergy to milk or wheat, but have the peptide problem and vice versa. Because of this, we recommend the Gluten/Casein Peptides Test be taken in addition to our food allergy testing."

    Strong # of references

    4th link zero mention of gluten or wheat?

    Great support for your claims

    Of course not, i actually was expecting wheat belly or grain brain as "evidence", although not out of the realm of possibility the references posted were from those books

    No. Gluten should only be avoided if you have medical conditions that require you to do so.

    Chicks dig cartoons man. It's the secret to life.

    They also dig men who substantiate claims instead of running away so I hear

    Never provides any support of anything he claims. Just opinions.

    well I guess the new strategy is one word answers and act superior, which really makes one look more like a DB than ever….

    I have to avoid white pasta for my sanity. It makes me crave more white pasta all day. No amount will be enough. It's easier to avoid it in the first place than deal with the ridiculous cravings. Whole grain pastas are healthier, anyway, so that works well.

    You should talk to your doctor and then decide what works best for you.
