Wheat...........Good/Bad..........Pros/Cons????

[Go 4 It]

Hey I'm just wondering if people can chime in with their thoughts on wheat products, good or bad?? Whats the deal?

[Tombo]

in terms of what in particular?

i eat whole wheat products every day.. multiple servings.. i love how they fill me up and can be either the taste of my meal or the base with something to be added..

wholegrain cereal

wholegrain bread (make sure this stuff is the real deal)

whole grain oats

all good shit in my opinion and have many health benefits, including cholesterol absorbtion, fasting and fibre ++, minerals and vitamins (cant name off the top of my head), help to reach satiety.. all good stuff!

I eat alot of whole wheat products too, mainly pasta and brown rice, but I heard Gluten, which is a product in wheat may not be beneficial to you, I'm just wondering if anyone can chime in on this??

A lot of people are allergic to wheat and wheat gluten and don't even know it.  Aside from various gastrointestional issues, other symptoms might be: tiredness, skin rashes, cramps, acne and boils, sweating, headaches, migraines, psoriasis, arthritis, eczema, anxiety and depression.  Not to mention the whole tainted wheat gluten from China thing.  It's in everything  ...      but not brown rice

that symptom list is really too broad i think to associate with an allergic reaction, if you have or show alot of those then i think theres a higher chance of you having Lupus haha

Hi All,
Princess L is correct.
Allergic reaction to Gluten is called Celiac.......and has a lot more symptoms
than Princess listed. It is frequently missed in diagnosis.
Google it and read up:)
