Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Hi, I found the same thing happen to me. When I started my diet I also eliminated wheat from my diet and noticed a big difference in my face within a couple of days. I lost 25 pounds and feel so much better. My energy level rose within days of not eating wheat. The last few weeks I have been slipping and eating some wheat (bread and pasta) I have not gained weight nor have I lost anymore but my face looks a little more puffy. My energy level is down a little and I do get a little down. I have to get back on track now that I know the difference in how I feel. I go for an ultra sound today on my thyroid and then wait a week to see my doctor for the results. I am anxious to see what they say now. I will be glad when that is over. I always worry about tests although I have done better this time. I have had some answers from this list ahead of time so I understand a little better about why they are doing this. Thanks to all and good health to you MissDenim@... wrote: > From: MissDenim@... > > In a message dated 8/13/99 1:24:40 AM Central Daylight Time, > thegardeners@... writes: > > << cut out anything with > wheat in it, and you WILL lose weight and become >> > > I recently eliminated wheat from my diet and within two days my hubby was > commenting about how much thinner my face looked.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 When you say you don't eat wheat... does that include white bread?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 That includes white bread (my favorite) I know it is bad but I love the taste. No multi grains or whole wheat. I was told that there is some kind of bread around that does not contain any wheat. I am going to check out the health food store for it and see what is in it.

I've eaten whole wheat bread and tortillas for years and thought it would be hard to give them up. But, I've stopped eating sugar at the same time and have had no problem. For me, they're connected. In other words, eating one of them makes me crave the other. I don't mean to suggest that what works for me will work for anyone else. It's just been a process of trial and error for me.........on the trail to feeling better. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Were you just experimenting with the wheat or did you get some information on it. It just seems to me that I am hearing of more people with thyroid problems saying this. I had also cut out sugar except for natural, fruit and I also had cut out artificial sweeteners. Now to get back on track. I have been off somewhat and as soon as I eat wheat I crave sugar or if I have sugar I crave wheat (bread, pasta). So now I am banging my head against the wall wondering why I would want to go off if I feel so good with the new eating habits. The ultra sound was easy will keep everyone posted on the results. Thanks for caring MissDenim@... wrote: > From: MissDenim@... > > In a message dated 8/13/99 1:19:57 PM Central Daylight Time, 2boots2@... > writes: > > << I found the same thing happen to me.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Yes,includes white bread; wholewheat bread; pasta; pizza dough--all of it! It's worth it for the many benefits!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 Hi, , I don't know if I have the intolerance. Foods were not tested. I am only trying to be good like Geoff keeps insisting I be. I am following 's and Nicholsons' diets as best I can. I know I cannot be 100% organic living here in Montana. We are just not that sophisticated; however, I am sure that there must be several of the RA people who also are not able to do so either and are doing well. I did not tell you that it did take 45 minutes plus two trips to the store to get all I needed (I still can't remember well and did not take a list with me). I made the pizza (which I told you was really good) and it smelled heavenly in the oven. I cooked it on an old iron griddle as I don't own a pizza pan per se. My husband was in Canada and chose to call me as I was getting it out of the oven. My daughter handed me the phone and the griddle went sideways. That pizza slid right off and landed upside down on the oven door. Needless to say, I don't know what bacteria lurked on that door but I scooped that pizza up and ate it. It still was very good just not so attractive! I went to the bookstore today and looked at a macrobiotic diet book and it looked like only leaves and berries and twigs in there. I did not buy it. I figure with you being a pushover for recipes, I will survive better! Also, , I mentioned today to , I think, that my only criticism of you guys is that so many of your stories or updates or missing. To be truthful, had it not been for the stories, I don't think I would have made this leap of faith and in order to get others here, I hope all of you will do this. Be well and thank you. I feel like I have a guardian angel. joeysala wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Fain <BobFain@...> > > Hi .........I want to send you more information re. wheat-free > diet...but I don't want to send you stuff that doesn't apply.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Is it true that 3 of the 4 blood types cannot tolerate wheat? It is amazing and sad that it is in so much of our foods, and almost the only bread offered at fast-food restaurants. I have been trying to eliminate wheat and am having a fair amount of success, but I am still finding it hard to be 100% successful. I mean, it's even in black licorice, whether from the grocery store or the health food store. I guess my only other option is to take the herb (not as much fun), or ask any of you if you know of a company that sells black licorice without wheat flour? And I have also found it true that now that I have gotten away from it, when I do eat something with a lot of wheat in it, like bread, cake, cookies, etc. I get a stomachache. Not a bad one, but enough of one to make me rethink my choices..lol It may be doing other bad things, but the stomachache is the only one that is readily evident to me right now.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 WHEAT: A PROBLEM FOOD FOR EVERY BODY ~One of the most common food allergens, wheat has long been associated with a host of symptoms. Regardless of whether or not you have a known or suspected allergy, sensitivity, or intolerance to wheat,it is wise for everyone to limit or avoid this staple grain altogether for several reasons. 1 ~ We eat way too much wheat in this country. For many it is the only grain they ever eat. This is problematic because it means missing out on the many nutrients that other grains have to offer. In addition, eating the same foods over and over can tax the system, deplete specific enzymes, and lead to intolerances down the road.2 ~ Unless you are the rare person who cooks up bowls of wheat berries, which is its whole grain form, all of the wheat being served up in this country is processed – the overwhelming majority of which, is highly processed into white refined flour. White refined flour and the many products made from it - pasta, breads, cereals, pastries, cookies and more - are devoid of most vital nutrients and fiber. These foods are so devitalized they are actually anti-nutrients that deplete the body of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes in order to process them.Unfortunately, even many of the products labeled “whole wheat” are themselves highly processed, and also frequently contain white refined flour and refined sugars as well. Check the label!3 ~ Wheat in any form, processed or not, is challenging to digest and eliminate due to its high gluten content. Remember as a child mixing flour and water to make glue? It is gluten that gave this mixture its sticky, glue-like consistency. Gluten is a mixture of gum like, water-insoluble plant proteins found in many grains, and wheat has the highest gluten content of them all. Great stuff for binding paper maché, not so good for the intestines – or any other part of the digestive and eliminative tract, for that matter. 4 ~ Because it is so difficult to digest and eliminate, wheat is a notorious mucous-producer and inflammatory agent known to cause or contribute to a host of dis-eases,including: arthritis, sinus problems, constipation, diarrhea, bowel disorders, fatigue, yeast infections,liver & gallbladder congestion, mental disorders,insomnia,and suppressed immune function. In Chinese medicine wheat is considered one of the primary causes of depression. Regardless of whether or not you are suffering from these or any other symptoms, everyone can benefit from limiting wheat in their diet or going completely wheat-free. Try it and see!Today it is easier than ever before to go wheat-free or at least cut down on your intake. There is an array of wheat-free and gluten-free products now available on the market. Choose from: GLUTEN GRAINS:barley rye buckwheat spelt kamut teff oats Or NON-GLUTEN GRAINS:amaranth millet basmati rice (brn/wht) quinoa brown rice wild ricecorn When you enjoy these whole grain alternatives, you will not only be giving your system a break from wheat and white refined flour, but you will also be giving your body more of the beneficial nutrients and fiber it so desperately needs. Losing some of thewheat can mean regaining some of your health & energy! Suzi What is a weed?
