LYME DIET (Dr. Nicola McFadden Was/ Re: Gluten diet

[Guest guest]

Hi susan,i had not heard that wheat had been gmo'd.  i went to  http://responsibletechnology.org/docs/Non-GMO-Shopping-Guide.pdf  to check on it.  they are always on top of gmo foods.   i copied the info about grains/wheat below.

  where did you hear wheat was gmo?  i had heard that over the years it has been 'altered', but not that it is gmo.  can you provide me with some info i don't have because i wouldn't want to miss this.  barbara

, I was going to ask the group about that book but hadn't gotten to it:) Did you find it a good source of info. in regards to diet and recovery? I am eating more paleo at the moment and my son more of a body ecology/paleo mix. We both have bad " guts " ! Any input would be useful, much thanks, Jodie L.

khaya,my sister did  some research on the grains.  she has struggled with weight until she went off the grains.  she said we are not eating the same wheat as was originally put here by god.  she agrees with what you are saying and is really sold on it.  she feels better also.  she tried to get my mom off wheat/grains, but don't think it will happen.  i have found i do better without, but don't react too badly to it.  i tested ok in allergies, celiac, etc.  but try to limit it considerably.

the hybridizing is when they don't use open pollination but make a new breed by selective breeding.  there is no foreign genetics involved, just the selection of two specific 'parents' to make a specific breed. usually it is done for shelf life, natural resistance to something, better nutrition-they say, but seldom better flavor. i think when you control nature to do what you want it to do, takes away it's value in one area or another.  'you just can't mess with mother nature' and expect it to be ok. heirlooms are usually best.  

is this the genetic modifying that is being referred to?  hope so.  gmo wheat is probably coming soon, though.  they just did hay, which affects all out meat supply.  there will be no possibility of o.g. meat in the future once the wind carries the   pollen worldwide.  scary. 

it is just better to grow and eat it the way it comes naturally.  but you can't patent that!!!barbara 

 

Thanks for that list Barbara,

I have always heard that wheat has been hybridized, so it's not technically what we refer to as genetically modified, although I suppose in a sense it is. The properties of hybridized wheat make it less nutritious and trigger sensitivities in a lot of people. That's why many people who are sensitive to wheat can use spelt and kamut, which are both old-fashioned varieties of wheat. But they still contain gluten.

By the way, I also like Dr. McFadden's book.

Hi Barbara, I eat a lot of organic eggs! Dr. B says they're very good for your

thyroid. And I love sandwiches, too. I've been using brown rice tortillas, but

cut them out at least till the last quarter because the full moon is going to be

so strong this Saturday. A lot of people use the tortillas to make roll-up

sandwiches. But I just put my filling on 1/2 of it and fold it over, cut it in

quarters and stick tooth-picks in it. And I make my husband's sandwich on

Ezekiel bread--it smells so good! They say if you're a celiac you should not

handle or even breathe gluten, but I've never been tested for celiac disease

(you have to have 12 biopsies). I suspect I am not a celiac, since i don't have

violent reactions to gluten.

hi khaya,the tortillas are great for that.  tom used them for a yr for his lunch at work after he found out about the yeast sensitivity.  he got sick of them though. he used a chicken salad mix i made up for him.  

have used the ezekiel bread,  very good.  i don't have a reaction to gluten as far as i know.  barbara
