Good vs bad

Gluten is a word that so many people as me about and question if there is really any truth behind the hype.  This blog post will break it down for you in a way that makes it easy to understand the truth behind a Gluten sensitivity and its effects on our bodies.

Imagine you are eating some delicious, healthy broccoli followed by a yummy cracker.  The cracker will cause the body to attack the wheat and grains which make up the cracker.  This will cause the body to release histamines, which block our body's ability to digest and absorb the healthy broccoli.

Imagine scratching a mosquito bite so much to the point that your skin becomes red. irritated, and bloody.  This is what the inside of your digestive tract looks like when it is effected by histamines due to Gluten.

When the digestive tract has been compromised, the lack of mineral absorption from the foods being eaten will cause our body to experience a "functional starvation."  Starvation causes the body to hold on to every calorie eaten which eventually can cause obesity.

Secondly, chronic inflammation from histamine reactions can cause Auto-immune disease, cancers, and IBS. 

The good foods (vegetables and fruits) can be negated by the bad foods (grains, fried foods, packaged and preserved foods) and the body will slowly break down and suffer.

Usually Gluten will make us feel tired, brain fog, bloating, fatigue, abdominal cramps, skin eruptions, and joint pains.

Focus on vegetables which are deep green leafy vegetables like Kale, Collard greens, Beet leafs, Wild blueberries, Cranberries, and Cruciferous vegetables.
