I've been asked to talk on three foods you should never eat. Well, my response
to that is there are different strokes for different folks, but if you have
irritable bowel, Crohn's disease, colitis, there are three foods you should
never eat because they can have an inflammatory effect on a colon that's a
little irritated. One is wheat. Wheat was changed in the 1950s, and in that
hybridization of the wheat, it created a very complex protein or gluten
structure, very hard for an inflamed gut. Dairy. I agree. Raw, organic dairy,
cow's milk, up in the Himalayan mountains where people have been eating it for
centuries, no problem, but if you've got irritable bowel, it can be incredibly
irritating to the gut. Oats. Oh, my sons eat oats every day and love them, but
if you have a gut that is irritated, it can be very inflammatory on the gut
because you see oats are high in lectins, and if lectins get into the blood,
that increases inflammation. So as you can see, different strokes for different
folks.
