She did research and found out that many Americans can not tolerate, if not allergic, to gluten. Gluten seems to cause an imbalance in some, especially if you have say candida(yeast) overgrowth in your body. She changed her son's diet and he has improved dramatically. Fruits probably do the same thing sometimes because of all the natural sugar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34953284.post-91953261644188185162007-10-18T21:39:00.000-05:002007-10-18T21:39:00.000-05:00I don't have a problem with gluten in particular, ...I don't have a problem with gluten in particular, but grains always set me off. I've checked for an intolerance and don't seem to have one, but whenever I eat grains (even without gluten) I want more and more....and of course want to eat all kinds of carbs after!! <BR/><BR/>Many fruits have the same effect.Alcinda (Cindy) Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950698583878546323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34953284.post-20706462734778732202007-10-18T19:42:00.000-05:002007-10-18T19:42:00.000-05:00No, you're not crazy...I've recently realized that...No, you're not crazy...I've recently realized that wheat (or maybe it's gluten, too) gives me a stuffed nose. I mean, besides cranky and bad sleepy and general loginess. And depression. And heart palpitations<BR/><BR/>And yet, I still eat it. Before I got pregnant and moved in with my mom, I did eat the odd bit of bread, mostly the artisan breads which are incredibly popular (and yummy) in my area. Now bread is almost a daily part of my life again because I'm unable to cook as a low-carber and due to my ravenous hunger, I'm eating far more of it than I ever have before.<BR/><BR/>I can't say I've made bad decisions eating wheat, I mostly just feel terrible and depressed, with added depression because I blame the wheat for any weight gain instead of, y'know, the baby. I'm working really hard to get over that, but it's difficult, because I have to eat for both of our sakes.<BR/><BR/>And, on the overeating thing, the only I <I>know</I> I overeat is pasta of any kind. Which sucks because I'm part Sicilian, as well as getting the bloaty-tired-still hungry thing, no matter how little or much of it I eat. It's very strange.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I'll be very glad when the baby is born and I can go back to proper cooking. I miss vegetables.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
