In addition, since celiac disease and gluten intolerances are among the least-frequently diagnosed medical conditions, many people feel better after cutting wheat from their diets. Pros: No processed foods Removes bad-for-you breads and grains from your diet Cons: Extremely restrictive Encourages consumption of cheese, dairy, and soy.
Healthy, nutrient-rich foods are available in abundance on this diet. Processed foods are strictly forbidden, and since celiac disease and gluten allergies generally go undiagnosed, people with consistent stomach problems would be wise to eliminate wheat gluten from their diets. Many people report feeling better within days of cutting out gluten.
Plus, processed wheat products cause spikes in blood sugar, which are dangerous for everyone, especially diabetics. Cutting wheat entirely from your diet and then eating it, even once in small quantities, can cause stomach pain, as well as gas and bloating. But history suggests this mindset gets grains all wrong. Far from the foodstuff of mindless drones, grains are the building blocks of civilization.
As historian Rachel Laudan writes in Cuisine and Empire , every single great city-state—from Indonesia to China to the Roman Empire—has been built on the powerful nutrition and easy portability of grains.
Ancient Romans built their empire on barley porridge; Chinese on rice porridge congee ; Indians on rice and lentil porridge kichree. Polenta millet and later maize porridge was favored by Italian peasants. American colonies relied on grits. Laudan notes that in Hebrew, the word lehem means both grain and meal. Laudan says that even food historians are surprised when she explains how essential grains have been to human civilization.
No matter where you go in the world today, cities continue to be fed on grains, except in the high Andes. To the modern consumer, grains often seem ordinary—available in limitless forms almost everywhere we go. But they were once as valuable as precious metals, and were a common form of payment. And for good reason: They hold a treasure of nutrition within their hard, indigestible outsides. If you are on this diet, you are not paying attention to carb count at all.
So it became toxic for human consumption. Therefore, it will eliminate all kinds of grains such as wheat, rice, corn, tapioca, to name a few. Good luck with your decision!

As for the medication situation, my original Endo passed away and it took me forever to get my GP to give me a referral for a new one because my TSH fell in normal range according to him so he refused to test further. I had to go to a couple more doctors before one would run the whole panel.
Tomorrow morning I see the new one again. Levothyroxine was her choice even after she saw my past charts and records documenting my bodies rejection of all synthetics my first Endo tried with me. Armour worked then so I think it is nonsense not to prescribe it once again. I have no idea what the plan is for the Lyme Disease because none has been shared with me yet so I need guidance from our dependable crew here on this blog if I indeed show positive results.
Thank you for blessing us with your wisdom. That goes for everyone. Lisa wrote: « I have not taken my a. The cold would be consistent with an untreated thyroid problem. The sweating is less obvious, and on that, I might mention that the Undoctored Inner Circle [subscription] would be a more productive place to explore all this.
Did you happen to ask the new endo if she ever prescribes T3, or compounds containing it? On program guidance 0. The lab, at least appears to be using current dogma. Program target is upper half of RR above 1. Was that while on T4, and if so, when taken prior to the draw?
Target is again upper half of RR 3. Chronic inflammation is something to avoid, but the solution is to fix the problem, and not rely on anti-inflammatories. Is that serum or RBC? The vitamin D looks fine. Some sort of chronic infection might also be afoot, and would need separate insightful investigation. Bob, my original Endo died of Kidney Cancer and was 56 yrs old.
He was very thoughtful and open to all forms of healing and Medicine. He actually had my medication compounded in a ginger base because I react so negatively to all forms of grains, soy, corn. He was indeed a rare and wonderful man.
She does want to switch me to a synthetic gluten free T4 medication in a few days after my new labs come back. In the mean time I have scheduled for early October with a Hormone Specialist that comes highly recommended as the best in the Metro Atlanta area. He treats both men and women with any sort of hormone issue and he does prescribe dissected and compounded medications.
Inflammation is absolutely a huge concern. The Ferritin level is indicative of the high iron levels in my body which is being randomly shoved into major organs because we do not naturally get rid of iron unless we bleed it out. This is part of the curse that goes along with Hereditary Hemochromatosis.
The higher that it climbs the more dangerous it is for our health. We must give blood and we get a written prescription to do it as often as it takes to bring us back into the proper range and we must continue doing so as the iron stores creep back up again.
I most definitely want to understand my lab work because even to my untrained eye I know from past experience that this is not good at all. After 3 different Doctors were unable to explain most of them to me I put a call in to the Lab for a representative to call me with a comprehensive overview of all in question..
I just thought throwing some of these things up on this thread might generate some answers that lines up with the Undoctored lifestyle. I do love this way of life, I just need to work out these tricky kinks so I can get back to living.
Bob, The thyroid medication the new Endo is now considering is called Tirosint. It is synthetic T4 in a gel cap and inactive ingredients are gelatin, glycerin and water. How about SIBO? How do you react to prebiotic fiber? If SIBO is present, it might be relatively easy to get under control, and could have knock-on benefits on the other suspected ailments. Too many people convert insufficiently nowadays.
Free-range non-GMO T4 with lipstick is still just T4 although for this product, with patent protection, in case you happen to be an investor. Bob, the Endo did not define what she considered good results would be for me and it was not for the lack of me redirecting the conversation back to that topic several times.
She was much more focused on explaining to me how dangerous and unethical any of the dissected natural thyroid versions are. I told her that she was wasting her breath because I personally had rapidly restored health with previous use. Thankfully I do have an appointment with yet another Doctor who totally supports use of dissected versions and prescribes them as well. I can not handle the raw potato or raw potato starch due to skin and stomach flares within minutes of ingesting it.
Green bananas, PBX granules and acacia I have no problems with but it is very difficult finding the green bananas and I do not like the raw plantain at all.

Those scammers have been instructed by the FDA, if not the courts, to cease that libel, but they are apparently still at it.
Green bananas, PBX granules and acacia I have no problems with… ». That reaction looks less like a prebiotic indication , and possibly more suggestive of a nightshade issue. Do you get the same reaction to tomato or cooked potato? Some tips: greens are more common in the organic section. When we find a stash, we buy a lot of it, peel and dice it promptly, and freeze it for future use in smoothies. Bob, yes I do have lots of problems with nightshades to include okra, peppers, tomato, eggplant, potato and all nightshade spices.
Cooked potato makes me bloat, turn red and itchy, but raw potato wrecks complete havoc internally and externally, as do peppers green bell peppers especially and cooked tomato. My food allergies are quite severe in nature. I rarely eat out or at other peoples homes unless I bring my own food because of this. It hurts very much. I do tolerate yam very well but I only eat it on rare occasion as a dessert rather then as a side dish.
I bake it, butter it, add cinnamon and a dollop of coconut cream from the can which is BPA free and organic. So as not to confuse anyone reading this, Yam is not a nightshade and is completely different then a sweet potato but many people think that they are one and the same.
In my humble opinion they are better. I followed Lose the Wheat.. Lose the Weight two years ago. Lost 20plus lbs. Gained back the 20 lbs plus. Yo yo dieting has messed me up. My IBS got so severe it made it impossible to travel. I was always afraid of not finding a restroom in time! I have been grain, and sugar free since December 8th
