wheat questions

[Guest guest]

I know that wheat is commonly a problem with not only candida,

but many people have allergies to it and it is also hard to digest

because of the gluten, blocking the intestines, etc.

I know that it is okay to consume wheat grass and not have

problems for any of those things.

What I'm wondering is if there is a problem with consuming

wheat berries, either sprouted and/or cooked? Mostly I am

concerned with candida flare-up and if one has allergies

to wheat.

I would appreciate any answers on this.

Thanks,

From the blood type point of you - white flour would be preferred over

whole wheat due to higher lectin content in whole wheat.

Wheat prevents absorption of nutrients in the intestinal tract, so it is

bad for everyone. (Regular usage).

Rice - brown is preferred over white.

Fiber - rely on fruits/vegetable for it not grains.

As far as not being as " " anti-wheat " as us? I would say he is just

being realistic. Wheat being the most potent drug (my opinion) most

people don't want to read: DO NOT EAT WHEAT EVER!!!!!!!!

In Os it will make the muscle tissue slightly alkaline (should be

acidic) & in As it makes us acidic and we need to be alkaline. See?

Best rice pasta brand: TINKYADA

Try shopping in health food stores instead of regular ones.

>>Both their Pedi's and their ND said that whole wheat products are

great and should be eaten instead of white flour.<<

I'd say change doctors or just disregard their " dark ages " based

nutritional beliefs.

All grains will affect the O system in a bad GI way if you will. Your

system has not evolved to the point where you can tolerate it without

any difficulties.

That is why an O type would do 1000% better on a grain free diet.

Hope this helped some.

wheat questions

Hi all,

I am not going to argue that we Os should be eating wheat. I am feeling

great without it!

What I want to ask and clarify is about the affects of wheat. I know of

the

bad stuff that happens when eating white flour products, as it has the

higher glycemic index and jacks the glucose up quickly then plummets it

back

down. Info about how crappy white flour is, is abundant and easy to

find.

White flour also has near zero nutritional benefits and less fiber. I

thought, though, that whole wheat flour didn't do this same bad thing to

the

glucose level. (I had our family eating whole wheat bread, homemade and

also

oatmeal breads with whole wheat flour and thought that was pretty darn

good.

The reason I was avoiding store bought bread before I began the ER diet

was

because my kids are allergic/sensitive/intolerant to corn, soy and

dairy. It

is near impossible to find a store bought bread that doesn't contain

those

ingredients. Nearly all breads now have soybean oil if not soy flour.)

Both

their Pedi's and their ND said that whole wheat products are great and

should be eaten instead of white flour.

Same argument for eating wild rices vs. the refined white rices. Am I

wrong?

It seems to me that some people here are putting down ALL forms of wheat

flour for the glucose/insulin reason rather than dividing between the

garbage-y white wheat flour vs. better whole wheat flour.

Also am curious if the same issues with glucose levels apply to spelt

flours, white or whole grain, respectively? I am finding it hard to find

info about spelt and how the body processes spelt. Is the consensus that

spelt is best avoided and we O's should be using Ezekiel instead? I have

been eating both lately and just started experimenting with making my

own

spelt bread. The reason is that I want a more puffy bread once in a

while

for a sandwich instead of the dry, woodlike Ezekiel bread.

Also with pasta I have not been able to find a rice pasta that is

edible, to

me. I did find Vita Spelt great. Living with an Italian husband pasta

dinner

is 1 or 2 nights per week here. I am trying to live as much in alignment

with the whole family as possible, at least in the beginning. The less

of an

outcast I feel, the more likely I am to remain compliant with this diet

(and

feeling better).

What about the rice breads in the health food store that have no spelt

and

no wheat in them? Do those wreak havoc with our systems?

Lastly, it seems that Dadamo doesn't put down wheat consumption as much

as

members of this list, or else would he not tell all blood types to avoid

wheat? Comments on this please? He must not think it is bad for all

blood

types as wheat is neutral for some blood types. (Our household has 2 As

and

2 Os. One of the Os and one of the As I put into the wheat bread junkie

category so this may be hard to break.)

Just when I thought " I got it " about wheat, I am confused. Thanks,
