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...

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...

What Do Measles, Tuberculosis, and Grains Have in Common?
What do measles, tuberculosis, and grains have in common? For that matter, what do anthrax, influenza, and brucellosis also share in common with grains?
All the conditions listed are examples of zoonoses, i.e., diseases contracted by humans from animals. When humans first invited domesticated grazing creatures–cows, sheep, goats–into our huts, adobe homes, or caves, often sleeping in the same room, using them for milk or food, we acquired many of their diseases. These diseases were essentially unknown prior to the human domestication of grazing ruminants.
The process of animal domestication changed the course o...

Step 1: Wheat Elimination To Take Control Of Your Health
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 t...

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...

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,” ...

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...

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...
