Thanks for posting! It makes sense to me. Over the years I have gone grain free for very long periods.
I found doing so reduced the TOTAL LOAD of assaults on my body thus reducing symptoms of food, inhalant and chemical allergies. I also think it reduced my inflammation and I just flat felt better.
For what it's worth.

I always feel better going grain free. So why is it so hard to get back on track?

It makes sense in many ways... I just didn't want to admit it to myself since I love bread, cake, pasta & all those nasty carbs. Even brown rice & healthy stuff...
What do you eat for breakfast? I love my toast or a muffin & coffee... Somehow, eggs & spinach doesn't seem as fun. I'm going to try to phase this type of diet in gradually.
Any recommendations for receipes?

I personaly think moderation is the key. Sparkle, when you said "I love my toast or a muffin & coffee" it is very telling.
Some things are just good for the soul. If it's not life threatening, keeping some things that we just plain enjoy can be soothing and healing.

Thanks Gael! Also thanks lightfoot & Kristen... I watched the video. It's interesting stuff. I'm going to try to ease some of these things into my diet. I don't think I can give up pasta, dessert & sandwiches just yet.
I'd like to bake more but sometimes I barely have the energy to cook the regular stuff.

I'm always posting serious stuff here but this is funny... (lightfoot reminded me of this)

KPU/HPU is a major cause of Leaky Gut. You are lacking certain very important minerals and enzymes. Of course, you can't eat certain things without certain digestive aids - minerals and enzymes. KPU is easily corrected by taking CORE, the missing substances. Many threads talking about KPU on LN.
Avoiding foods is not the longterm answer eventually leading to more deficiencies.
Take care.

I don't think I have leaky gut. I was tested for it a while ago & it's not a big thing for me. I'm not very allergic to most things.
I like the idea of trying different foods, though. I don't think we have to only have one idea of diet & that it has to be a faschist thing - like no sugar - or no meat - dairy - (fill in the blank) or only paleo foods, raw foods, macrobiotic, etc...
It's just interesting to think about the concept of diet & how it works. I think people are very adaptable. It's hard these days because alot of toxins are being put into the foods we eat.
I don't think it's a bad thing to omit wheat or dairy or soak beans for 12+ hours with some vinegar... It's not that hard to add different ideas into our diet if/when possible.
I used to think soy was a panecea (FYI - I was wrong!) - so, concepts of diet do change.
Thanks for sharing the receipes!

It's a matter of choice. Sure, I can est anything I want but do I really want to?
Diet plays a much larger role in health and well being than most of us realize. That's why athletes who are in tip top shape and health pay very close attention to what fuels their body most efficiently.
Regardless where we are in the treatment journey and life, It makes a very big impact. AND better than that it is something one can implement today without outrageous expenses.

I am so confused about diet. I was reading dr B,s protocol (sorry memory is bad at moment). So I completely cut sugar. I thought being gluten free was good enough,but I guess not.
I am not sure what is carbs and what is not. I was told to cut carbs but i am not sure if any breads are okay or not. Is coconut flour carbs? I ve been eating udi,s whole brown rive flour bread from the frozen food section.
