Lonnie and Carrie ’ s Wheat Belly journey
“ Living the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyle will not rid our lives of all adversity. But it can make you stronger, more optimistic, and resilient. Here is Lonnie and Carrie’s story: “One year ago today, my life changed in unthinkable ways. I discovered the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox book and read it during my kids’ spring break. I had dabbled in the ‘paleo’ diet world a bit over the last five years with inconsistent success and had some idea about how good I felt when eliminating grains… “But the protocols in this book seemed to go further then just diet, like addressin...

Surviving wheat withdrawal
Wheat withdrawal can be unpleasant business. Read the many thousands of comments on this blog describing the physical and emotional turmoil that develops in the first few days of wheat avoidance and you will come to appreciate just how awful it can be. It is important that wheat withdrawal is recognized for what it is, as some people say, “I feel awful. It must mean that I need wheat.” Nope. It is a withdrawal syndrome, a good thing, a transitional phase as your body tries to return to its normal state. Wheat withdrawal has been labeled by different names over the years–”Atkin’s flu,” ...

How to survive wheat withdrawal
During my recent appearances in British Columbia, speaking to crowds in Kelowna, Penticton, Kamloops, and Vernon, I received many questions about how to better deal with the unpleasant symptoms of wheat withdrawal. Because this question came up so many times, I am re-posting a discussion I posted in 2013 about this issue. It remains as true today as it was then: Wheat withdrawal, for the 40% of people who experience it, cannot be entirely avoided, but the full intensity can be softened. Let’s discuss a number of ways to go about doing that: Wheat withdrawal can be unpleasant business. Read the many thousands of comm...

Skin rashes, vomiting, and seizures: Wheat Belly followers share their re-exposure experiences
When you have eliminated wheat and grains from your life, odd things happen when you get re-exposed. First of all, you’ve lost the partial–partial, never total–tolerance to some of the adverse effects of wheat and grains, and they come back with a vengeance upon re-exposure. And it’s not just due to the “gluten.” Those of you hanging around here understand that there is far more to wheat and grains than gluten, such as reactions to the bowel toxicity of wheat germ agglutinin, or the mind “fog” of gliadin-derived opiate peptides, or allergic reactions to alpha amylase inhibito...

Measles, tuberculosis, and wheat
Humans have made many dietary mistakes over the years but two mistakes, in particular, stand out: close contact with animals, mostly ruminants, who conveyed their diseases to us and the adoption of the seeds of grasses as human food. These two practices not only changed the course of human history but also human disease. Over the last several centuries, Westerners have populated North America, South America, Pacific islands and other regions. Equipped with superior tools of warfare such as swords and muskets, contact with Westerners decimated indigenous people such as the millions of native Americans, Aztecs, and Amazonian...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, January 4th 2021
The objective of this study is to quantify the overall and cancer type-specific risks of subsequent primary cancers (SPCs) among adult-onset cancer survivors by first primary cancer (FPC) types and sex. Among 1,537,101 survivors (mean age, 60.4 years; 48.8% women), 156,442 SPC cases and 88,818 SPC deaths occurred during 11,197,890 person-years of follow-up (mean, 7.3 years). Among men, the overall risk of developing any SPCs was statistically significantly higher for 18 of the 30 FPC types, and risk of dying from any SPCs was statistically significantly higher for 27 of 30 FPC types as compared with risks in the general po...

Type 1 diabetes . . . cured?
Carrie posted this wonderfully thought-provoking comment about her diabetic son: My 13 yr old son was diagnosed over a year ago with Type 1 [diabetes]. Before his diagnosis, I was very ‘green’ — bought organic foods, bought meat from free-range, grass-fed local farms, cleaned my house with products I made myself from vinegar and natural products. But we did follow the low-fat, low-calorie, high-fiber, healthy whole grain diet. We were told “eat whatever you want” — just dose for it [with insulin] and be healthy (yep: low-fat, high-fiber, etc.) I didn’t think so: If he has a carb problem, then...

Wheat headache
Karen tells this story of her son’s 3-month struggle with headache and other symptoms: My son suffered from chronic (nearly daily) headaches and dizziness for 3 months, missing 30+ days of school in that time. Three days after removing wheat from his diet, he is headache-free. Chronic constipation gone. Former pale skin, dark circles under his eyes: gone. Energy level back, moodiness: gone. Taking him off wheat was always my gut instinct, but we were told by everyone in the medical field that it couldn’t possibly be from a food issue. We had tried numerous medications, took every blood test possible, MRI, mass...

Wheat elimination is step 1
Debra’s story highlights a common issue in our wheat-free experience: Eliminating wheat is an exceptionally powerful way to take back control over weight and health. But many people have had their health so disrupted by grain consumption, as well as other factors such as endocrine disruption from exposure to industrial chemicals, that additional steps need to be taken to fully recover health. In Debra’s case, she had to battle Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and the resultant hypothyroidism (commonly caused by wheat consumption via autoimmunity), depression and anxiety, and get off medications before she began to...

Sharon’s Wheat Belly recovery after 23 years of medical blundering
Sharon shared her wonderful story of wheat- and grain-liberation and the health transformation that resulted: “I started Wheat Belly last August after years of weight that never dropped and 23 years of chronic thyroid problems that could never be corrected, no matter how much or what medications I took. Respected endocrinologists were stumped and told me basically this was how it would be: I was untreatable with medicine, but If I could work out 2 hours a day that might help. “I went low-carb a few years ago, lost some weight but gained it back–over and over the cycle went. I was sick, exhausted, such se...

Gary Miller, founder of Wheat-Free Market, shares his Wheat Belly experience
Gary Miller, founder of Wheat-Free Market foods, the food company founded on Wheat Belly principles, shares his Wheat Belly experience now that he has invested four years into the lifestyle: “Yesterday marked four years following Wheat Belly, without a single bite of bread, pasta, cookies, or cake containing wheat. I never cheated once and adopted the lifestyle quite easily. I weighed 176 lbs this morning and have maintained that weight, give or take 5 lbs either direction, since arriving at that weight after about 5 months following Wheat Belly. So that is over 3.5 years of maintenance without effort…nothing s...

The Wisdom of the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox
I will be posting some brief excerpts from the new Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox book here to highlight some of the information in this new way to begin (or resume) the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Don’t Exercise That may sound odd, given the benefits of exercise. But exercising during the withdrawal process is like trying jog, swim, or jump rope while suffering the flu: it will be a miserable experience minus the sinus congestion. Don’t torture yourself—and don’t feel guilty for not exercising during this process. At most, do something at a leisurely pace: go for a walk in the woods or around your neighborhood, or...

2017 Nanopore Community Meeting: An Incomplete Summary
The 2017 Nanopore Community Meeting was over a week ago back in New York City, so I ' m grossly overdue in cobbling together some observations and opinion based on the tweet stream (I had a critical day job meeting at the same time and wasn ' t in New York).  I diddash off the bit about SmidgION being potentially like the early Macs (though I got wrong the nomenclature, the original was the Mac 128K -- Mac Classic was a later model that resembled it).  Oxford also deviated this autumn from the pattern of public information they had seemingly established, with major news at London Calling and smaller updates at th...
