celiac.com forums are are really helpful too.0 -
Unless you actually have Celiac's disease, or have been diagnosed as gluten intolerant (which is a minute percentage of the population), there is no reason to cut gluten out of the diet. Most people who think they are having a problem with gluten, in fact, have been found to not have any problems with it, and actually are having issues with other things - and do feel better when following a FODMAP diet.0

I eat a lot of vegetables as bases for things - including spiralized vegetables and vegetable "rices."
It may help you, but this is the best recipe blog for that kind of eating http://inspiralized.com/0 -
No, and I read that book, and Davis made some good points about how we've ruined our collective health with grain products.lauraodonnell86 wrote: »Hey there everyone!! My husband and I are starting the wheat belly diet and I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there doing it?! So far we've been doing it for about a month and my husband (who is diabetic) has noticed great drop in blood sugar and weigh loss as well! It seems like it's really the way to go! We aren't doing the Total Health, just the Wheat Belly for now! Anyone with me?!
I replaced processed flour products with 100% whole grain alternatives, but I did not go "gluten free". .
It made a huge difference.
Good luck to you!

I'm wondering how your wheat belly diet is going?
I read the book recently and my husband and I have decided we are going to do it... Just not sure when yet. It's very exciting! Though I know it will be hard since I love everything wheat.. 0 -
As part of another plan that I follow, I was instructed to eliminate all wheat based products until I approached my goal weight. The re-entry phase had you add one food group item at a time so that you could assess the impact it was having on your overall health.
I was totally surprised that when I eliminated wheat, some of the tendonitis type pain that I have had in my elbows went away. I had attributed it to the weight training I have been doing for years and figured I had to live with it but it totally went away. That plus the fact that it converts to sugar so quickly led to it being stricken from my diet completely. Many will say "I could never give up my bread" or toast, English muffin, etc. which goes back to the manufacturer mantra "Bet you can't eat just one."
As has been stated previously, the wheat product that is produced today is far different from what was available in the mid-1900s.0 -

People have been eating bread for thousands and thousands of years, way before we had food manufacturers. That slogan is referring to potato chips. I'm not going to deny that bread can be a food that some people struggle with, but there are many, many, many people who can and do eat just one English muffin or piece of bread.0 -

exactly this. As I said before, unless you have Celiac disease, it is highly unlikely that you have any issue with gluten. Making other adjustments in your diet (research the FODMAP diet) is likely to achieve the results most people are looking for if they have the symptoms listed in books like Wheat Belly.0 -

http://www.foodandnutrition.org/Stone-Soup/July-2015/Wheat-Has-Not-Changed/Unless someone has a wheat allergy, celiac disease or gluten intolerance (which, combined, is less than 10 percent of the population), there seems to be no scientific reason to avoid wheat, which has not significantly changed since your great grandparents ate it.0 -
Really? Have you even seen a seed-head recently?
More seeds per head which equates to more yield per acre ......... but it hasn't changed, right?0 -

Do you eat corn? Are you aware that corn didn't even exist before it was genetically modified to be an edible plant? And that was pre-European invasion on the American continent.0 -

I have been looking around the message boards for the first time today and I was amazed at how nice everyone is, until....lol! But as the saying goes, "never talk about politics, religion and...um...bread". I stumbled on the book Wheat Belly during my weight loss journey after doing a search for something like "why does eating bread make me so hungry?" While I try to always remain open minded and objective (as we ALL should) I am more convinced than ever that the wheat of today in the US and some other countries is NOT healthy and definitely not helpful for most people's weight loss. There is a lot of prevailing research that says the same. I do believe, however, that some people can tolerate it better than others. A trainer commented a few months ago that a type II diabetic doesn't have to watch carb intake. I cringed when I read this!! It's this type of cavalier advice giving in the personal training world that gives PTs a bad name. And ACE certified too?! Tsk tsk! You should know better. ACE absolutely forbids such advice. I don't agree with the food pyramid so I don't recommend it to clients. I encourage them, instead, to educate themselves about their own bodies. As soon as you are convinced you know everything, that's when you are truly a fool. We all have MUCH growing to do and science and our bodies are constantly evolving.0

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were saying it hasn't changed.janejellyroll wrote: »How does having more seeds per head impact how our body processes it?
If you search long enough you can even find articles on the internet that support smoking.
Sorry, but a research document produced by the wheat council in Canada doesn't sway me much especially when I consider my own experience related to wheat.0 -

I never claimed that wheat hadn't changed. Multiple people are involved in this conversation. How does the number of seeds per head, the change you're citing, impact how our body processes it? That's my question. I have no idea what that has to do with smoking. You're the one claiming wheat, a food eaten by humans for thousands and thousands of years, is harmful. I'm asking what evidence you have in support of that claim. If you are claiming that wheat was okay in the past and is only now harmful, I'm asking what evidence you have in support of that claim.
I didn't post anything from the Canadian Wheat Council. You may want to review the conversation to see which people made which comments.0 -
I would like to read this research that says wheat is significantly different in any way from a century ago
Also the clinical trials dealing with wheat and health issues in those who are not celiac or gluten intolerant would be interesting
Thank you0 -
The comments are directed at me, even though I was not quoted. The article was about a study done by independent sources, not by the Canadian Wheat council.The research, which was funded by independent (non-industry) sources including the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the Canada Research Chairs Program, will hopefully help consumers overcome their fear of bread and pasta.0

I'm guessing you're not truly interested in actual studies because I've been down this road enough to know how people are about this subject. However, IF you truly are interested, why don't you start with Dr Mercola? He is a true doctor and references actual scientific studies in his reports.0 -

Mercola, who thinks sunscreen causes cancer and that HIV is unrelated to AIDS? Mercola, frequently featured on Quackwatch.com? Mercola, who opposes immunization?
I am interested in actual studies. If you have studies cited by Mercola that you would like to reference, please feel free to share them. I would love to see them. But I'm not about to wade into the cesspool of his website again. I have no time for HIV denialists and anti-vaxxers.0 -

Like I said, why don't you check out the actual studies he references instead of cherry picking what conforms to your preset opinion on the subject.

Which studies are you referring to? I'm sorry it's frustrating to you when people challenge your view, but Mercola is a major peddler of pseudoscience. It would be reckless to accept his claims at face value without digging into the studies that he cites. In the past he has made claims that are not backed by the studies he references, as well as made claims that aren't backed by ANY type of science (HIV is unrelated to AIDS, homeopathy works, etc).0 -

Most of the grain that you consume is not from this variety.
Example: Most pasta products are produced from Durham Wheat.
A totally different species which goes back to "all wheat is not created equal."0
