According to leading integrative physicians like Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Tom O’Bryan, Dr. William Davis and Dr. David Perlmutter, it’s likely your gut is out of balance which could be leading to gut dysbiosis, leaky gut and potentially an autoimmune condition.
And if you’re saying yes to any of those symptoms then there is one food that is likely at the root of your problems. Modern wheat and its infamous protein gluten.
Here are 11 reasons why you might want to give up Gluten for 21 days and see how you feel.
1. It Raises Your Blood Sugar and Makes You Fat
2. It Increases Inflammation in the Body Leading to Aches and Pain
3. Gluten Damages Gut Lining Which Contributes to Leaky Gut and Auto-Immune Conditions
4. Modern Wheat Is Sprayed with Toxic Cancer-Causing Chemicals
5. It Negatively Impacts Brain Health
6. It’s in Just about Everything Refined & Processed!
7. It Negatively Affects Your Skin
8. It Affects Your Mood & Contributes to Brain Fog
9. It Increases Bloating & Gas
10. It Contributes to Food Sensitivities
11. It’s a Common Food Allergen

...good things to know.
I wonder if our modern GMO has something to do with this. I don't recall people have adverse reactions to gluten when I was younger.
It's probably going on 30 years now that I needed to self diagnose myself as everything was making me sick-back then the labels were not as good either on foods-and the doctors pretty much told me it was all in my head.
doing the elimination diet I figured out it was gluten in the old days this was called wasting disease, as gluten messes up your intestines and your body can't digest the food with the gluten. I had gotten down to 100 pounds before I figured it out myself.
there are tests now to know for sure if you have celiac disease or not.
good post Kathy
Please seek doctor's advice before making major changes to your diet.
This is an interesting article...
Interesting
Wheat is fairly new grain, compare to others.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Interesting read once again Jan.
Most of us are bread addicts and refuse to link any bad condition to wheat. However, we should try to be more aware of our body's response to wheat and its glutten.
Hello,
I have cut back on gluten, great info.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, have a great day!
Gracias por tan buena información. Besos.
I was off Gluten for a while and did feel better, so you inspire me to cut down again. Why is it the things I like are all bad for me? Have a great week.
I have never thought of a 21 day fast of gluten. I do enjoy good bread, but maybe I need to start processing my own grain... I'd have to triple the size of my garden and it's too late for this year.
I'm not saying a lot of gluten is good, especially for some people with certain immune diseases or other sensitivities, but I also think a lot of blame is put onto gluten versus processed flour. I know wheat flour has been genetically modified over many many generations which will affect some people. And I also think eating lower carbs overall is good. But carbs come in many forms, and gluten is not one of them as it is a protein. This was an interesting read though, and it is always good to read what people are saying.
I need to study more about this. I use almond flour and don't eat any sugar...and not many carbs but I do have trouble with stomach cramps. I might need to adjust some more. Thanks for the info!
Good information Jan :)
I take spurts where I want a grilled cheese sandwich, but I never make sandwiches like most people seem to. Even PB & J. I can't say I'm gluten free, but I eat far less than most people. However, if you make pumpkin or banana bread, I will overindulge!
Fabulous post. I am sending the link to my daughter. Have a nice day.
I had never heard about gluten free foods until several years ago. I don’t have food allergies or diabetes or Celiac Disease so am eating regularly. I have read that if someone goes gluten free without a legitimate cause it can result in vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. Being a senior I watch my vitamins, etc. But I am sure that for some people being able to buy gluten free food has been fortunate for them.
Very interesting, Jan!
That really is interesting and something to keep in mind.xxx
good article. thanks.
Good read for sure. I have several friends that have simply cut back in moderation and feel much better. Hugs and blessings to you. Cindy
I'm not allergic to gluten...and shall continue eating foods containing gluten.
