I had arthritis pain for 30 years. 5 years ago, I eliminated added sugars from my diet and the pain greatly diminished. 2 years ago, I eliminated grains from my diet and my pain disappeared. I am 73 and am on no medications.

In the US it was learned about 15+ yrs ago that glyphosate is an excellent desiccant (removes moisture) and thus farmers began spraying wheat and oats with it as a pre harvest practice. As a result and the consumption of glyphosate destroys gut bacteria and the lining in the intestines thus causing all of these autoimmune diseases.

I am sure that gluten killed my mother. The problems started with her skin, then pain in shoulders when laying in bed, fatigue, bad sleep, pain in leg joints, cataract, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, terrible digestion, and finally sclerodermia which finished her off. NONE of the doctors asked a word about her diet. I tried to put her on a gluten free diet, but it was already too late and I didn't know that it may take up to three months to see results, especially in very complicated cases and elderly. So I gave up after just a few weeks seeing no results.

I used to have a fatty liver condition. I used to have pre-diabetic symptoms. I used to have edema - swelling in the feet and lower legs from excess fluids. That edema sometimes caused serious infections called cellulitis that would require hospital stays and intravenous antibiotics. I used to have COPD symptoms from decades of smoking. I used to have occasional high blood pressure and other chronic health problems for decades. All of these are gone. And they are gone because of intermittent fasting and eating high quality locally produced real foods. For just over two years, i have been eating just one good meal every day that i prepare myself. I avoid sugars, all highly processed junk 'foods' and excessive carbs - no breads, cereals, pastas, etc. I am healthier and stronger than i was 10 years ago. It is almost like aging in reverse!

I got 3 of his books about 10 years ago. The first one was Wheat Belly, I felt so much better following his advice to stop all grains. These grains today are manipulated. To this day I make my muffins from his recipes, almonds ground to flour is a great substitute for white flour. The flax seed makes a great bread. Your ice cream is delicious, some in fridge right now. Cheese cake with almond flour crust is delicious. My friends ask do I have any blueberry muffins baked when they visit. This flour does cost a lot more than other flours but it’s worth it. I buy the whole almonds and grind them myself that makes them less costly. Almond flour baked goods keep you full also. I use stevia and put about a quarter teaspoon of regular sugar in the batter that makes a dozen muffins. That little bit takes the after taste of stevia away. You really helped me with my many health problems, I speak of you often. Just got a copy of 30 minute Cookbook for a friend who likes to eat healthy. I changed to a plant based diet not long and along with your advice I feel even better. Doctors are not trying to get rid of our health problems, it’s a matter of making money, it’s sick care not health care.

[@ankarules]

Norman Borlaug the grandfather of Green Revolution invented High-yield crops. He then together with US government, and Monsanto enforced upon Mexican government to use it in Mexican fields. This drove all the farmers out of their family farms into the city. High-yield crops can’t survive without Monsanto products , but this product then dried out the soil. When Borlaug went back to Mexico, in 80s, he saw the dead soil, empty villages, hungry Mexicans. Did it stop the US government and Monsanto? No! Today USA is dealing with the illegal immigrants, they are the children and grandchildren of those farmers driven out of their villages by the action enforced upon them by the Nobel Prize winner N.Borlaug. His invention is a grain that is a poison we eat today. His work continues today and same as Mexico it is happening in India. In protest, Over 300 thousand Indian farmers took poison as they go bankrupt with this Green revolution, High-yield crops policy enforced upon them by US government during Obama, Monsanto, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

The rise of celiac and other intestinal diseases is prominent after farmers started spraying wheat with glyphosate. Especially when they started spraying wheat to dry it out for harvesting which is a relatively new practice within the last 20 years.

[@jill-of-all-trades]

Where/in which countries has celiac disease risen? Please be as specific and as accurate as you can bc I am interested in getting to the bottom of celiac disease: It’s causes and treatments. I have heard sime European countries diagnose celiac disease in infancy but in other countries such as the USA and Australia, people can be well past middle age before they’re diagnosed, if they are at all. Perhaps the rise of celiac disease you’re referring to is the increase in the numbers of people actually being diagnosed rather than an increase in the prevalence of it? That’s why details and specifics are critical when making decisions based on “the numbers.” I don’t want to make lifestyle and lifelong decisions based on faulty assumptions due to misinformation.

Thank You Sirs for Your efforts to bring some light🔦 into the gut. When we are suffering - and maybe in pain - it is especially difficult to make long term decisions. We tend to want the short fix, the medicine, the sweet food and so on. Maybe what is lacking are shining examples that can mentor us regularly. Many of our parents or grandparents have their knowledge from TV advertisements 😮‍💨 Shopping refrigerated stuff was *popular* and a sign that you were wealthy enough to afford it, right? And many were happy to afford some bread 🍞 at least and maybe not even always that, the whole family going to bed hungry. So maybe this sheds some light on recent history, too.

the wrong bacteria can crawl up your guts only if the pass through speed is slower. So first thing is to increase speed until you reach a frequency of 1x per day. Education = conditioning the gut is everything. There are many natural ways to speed things up, but use each of them with slow integration. Next some anti biotics: Add garlic, but only 1x every other week, but in high dose. Cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, mint.(edit: for a few days 50mg zinc 1x daily before eating.)

Also a variety of foods because our bodies need a variety of element for this very complex body. Also when we go to sleep it must be on an empty stomach.

[@Eldooodarino]

@@AnneMart Five years ago I had a polyp showed up during a routine colonoscopy. I went to a high fiber diet (15-25 grams/1000 Calories) which included bulgur almost every day. Polyp's gone now. Started eating a lot of probiotic foods, kefir, kraut, etc. My digestive system is way healthier that it was. I weigh less. I eat bulgur soaked in kefir with chia seeds and protein powder for breakfast. It's my biggest meal of the day. I also eat a lot of tabouli. I'm regular like clock work. I'm going to switch brands soon so that I'm not eating glyphosate. I'll start eating an organic brand.

[@AnneMart]

@@Eldooodarino thank you, sounds great. The whole grain thing is very perplexing. I can get an inflammation score (CRP) of 0.8 eating whole grains. When I've tried stopping I get towards constipation which I seriously dislike and can't believe is healthy. This despite a very high veg, legumes, pulses intake. Perhaps the intolerance to grains is an individual thing. I'm vegetarian and my HDL score is too high by the latest thinking so eating more fats doesn't seem a good option. Easy to run out of things you can eat! Well done on identifying the diet that works for you!

[@Eldooodarino]

@@AnneMart I recommend experimenting to find something that works for you. CRP = 0.8 isn't horrible but it is clearly indicating inflammation. It's possible that eating organic grains could help. I am going to quit eating Bob's Red Mill bulgar because it probably has glyphosate and I prefer not to eat that stuff. There are battle lines drawn over the dangers (or lack thereof) of glyphosate. There are people who claim glyphosate causes inflammation. There are lots of fights on the internet about it and I decided I don't care about whether it's dangerous or not, I'm just going to make an effort to stop consuming it. It's not that hard to buy grains labeled "organic". It costs a little more but not much. The US doesn't do a lot of testing so whether any given "organic"-labled item contains herbicides/pesticides is a bit of a crap shoot because there are grifters who will put the organic label on non-organic foods.

I have iron deficiency anemia and can't eat any grains, fruits, green leafy vegetables or starchy vegetables like potato, tea coffee, wine, chocolate, and nuts. All these foods have antinutrients that either destroy or remove iron. I eat carnivore and offal like liver 98% of the time but really struggle with eating out or with friends because everyone eats a grain or ultra processed based diet. If I go along with 'not wanting to cause a fuss' and eat what I'm given I suffer for the next few days with bloating, gas and stomach pains so I know that those foods are not meant for humans. Disgusted with the world trend of demonizing meat in terms of climate insanity.

The whole microbiome discussion is really valuable. The next step probably. But I would wish for a more nuanced discussion. Instead of declaring all grains bad, I think we need to realize that the goal should be to bring the digestive tract back to a state, where we can work with grains. Many world class athletes would laugh in someones face, if they said that e.g. oatmeal is bad for them. And many more would just not do that, because they are too respectful. Now, the follower of nutrition research might believe they would all be performing better without. That though just speaks of a lack of knowledge of competitive sports nutrition, because what athletes eat, is not determined by brainwashing through mainstream dietists, but by trial and error and the repeated victory of the food that works, via athletes who eat them. So, leave grains out to avoid problems with a compromised gut? Yes! Is leaving them out the end-all be-all of human nutrition? Nope.

[@winniecash1654]

All you need is to experience my gut on grains to know grains aren't good for me. Whether it's gluten or glyphosate, they tear me up inside. I'm only talking about myself and some other people I know who have the same problem. I wouldn't know if this is true for everyone everywhere.

[@advex4428]

@@winniecash1654 I agree. I just would wanna see the discussion on two different levels. 1.) People with problems, like you and myself. Then the advice to avoid grains with gluten is valuable. 2.) People without symptoms. Then it may be bad advice, depending on the personal situation. I like to talk about athletes for this. They know they perform better on grains, so it wouldn't be smart to avoid them, cutting off their income in case of pros. I just would like to see more discussion about getting back to tolerating all foods, like eg water fasting has gotten a bunch of foods back into my diet already, without problems now. And those that legitimately help people with problems by putting out information should be more aware, that having those problems is not normal, so they also would try to lead people back to complete health.

Even foods like parmesan cheese uses sawdust as a filler. At what point is our bread no longer considered bread. Eating processed foods might seem like a cheaper alternative but besides the fact that most fresh produce is cheaper than processed foods, your body reacts to fresh foods differently. Our bodies are like race car engines. In order to run them efficiently they need the right kind of fuels. Eating healthy is a process that takes time and discipline, but over time the body gets use to having the right fuel to run it.
