Went completely gluten free 25 years ago, within 2 weeks I was free of migraines, arthritis, Ibs and mood instability. It saved my life going gluten free
I went gluten not long ago (because of inflamat.)but my belly is even bigger although im slim. I don't consume lactose either. I'd be more than grateful if u have some advice
@@MadaraUchiha... actually I had a diagnose (with biopsy) 1 month ago and I am of glut free diet but no changes so far, doctor said 1 year not 2 weeks as other saying all the time.
I recently adopted a Wheat ( Gluten ) free diet after years of being a physical and Emotional Wreck always fatigued, and it's the best thing I ever did.
I can’t agree more I am a nurse of over 40 yrs and have almost turned my back on the the medical pharmaceutical model. I’ve turned around numerous health issues and lost 20kg and maintained my weight for the first time in my life. I’m passionate about this topic!
@@alisonkuan674 it’s not quite as simple as that (rye,barley and most grains contain some form of gluten!) but yes. I had poly, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis in my fifties and it’s all gone! Happy journeying!
@@conniegreen7689 Hi Connie, gosh this is an old post, then you popped up! What do you mean by friends, , as I’m not that good with social media (sporadic at best) tell me about your health journey……
I had IBS really bad. A friend of mine suggested that I remove gluten from my diet (her doctor was a holistic and natural doctor/nutritionist) who explained to her what gluten does to people. I removed wheat/gluten from my diet in January 2021 and went 5 months without it. I felt a million times better and my IBS was gone. I recently added gluten back to my diet to see what would happen. I went right back to bloating, constipation, sharp a abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches and low energy. I removed it again 2 weeks ago and I feel so much better now and I can actually take a proper SH*T everyday! Removing gluten is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, besides quitting smoking.
I’m an adult with Aspergers and when I switched my diet and cut out gluten, dairy, & sugar, my sensitivity to sounds, light, touch, ability to cope with stress, as well as my anxiety, went way down to like nothing. I heard about it from Chris Kresser on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Anyone with ASD or a kid who has it should look into this.
Not only cutting out the opiate aspect of the wheat would help but by cutting out sugar and cutting a lot of carbs from wheat your magnesium status probably improved as these items use up a lot of magnesium and that could be oart of the mechanism with resoect to the sensory sensitivity . Low magnesium status is associated with hypersensitivity to sound and anxiety too, among other things. Magnesium is involved in more than 300 reactions in the body. Serum magnesium levels are not a good indicator of cellular levels . RBC magnesium is a better measure of status. Dr. Carolyn Dean believes you should be above 6.0. I give my autistic daughter a combination of magnesium glycinate, taurate, malate and a small amount of citrate..
I'm starting to think there is no such thing as Aspergers and maybe just symptoms of gluten being bad for us and low vitamin levels due to bad absorption. I too had very bad social anxiety, depression and removed gluten from my diet but i also had bad candida and low vitamin levels. After treating all of these i am like the person i was as a child, outgoing, non fatigued and happy! So many people like 70% on my street have symptoms of Aspergers and many with bad anxiety and this is on the rise, maybe if everyone removed gluten treated themselves for a leaky gut and got all vitamin levels up anxiety numbers and depression will go down?
Even with no noticeable symptoms, giving up wheat improved how I felt, less hungry. more energy etc. and I couldn't figure recently why all my trousers wont quite stay up round my waist. Prove it to yourself, its worth it.
My dog has a gluten allergy, noticed after he broke out in a rash and started scratching all the time. Had to switch him to grain free food, he's better now.
My dog put o wight and lost his shiny coat and started to get creaky joints when he had bread. I cut out bread and he looks like a much younger dog with bags of energy, just shows if it was bad for him probably us too!
Most dogs do. They don´t have many enzimes to digest several types of cereals, seeds and vegetables in their gut bacteria and stomach. That´s why putting dogs on a vegan diet is a very bad idea.
There are some similarities and many differences in the diet requirements of dogs and humans. Dogs are scavengers, tolerant of carrion if it is not too rotten. They do well on meat but generaly eat nose to tail. I have seen Cyotes raid watermelon fields near ruining a crop. Ripe watermelons are not long in the field. Would Cyotes thrive on them as a steady diet? Probably not. Can they get some water and sugar to prop up their ability to out run a pack of Cyote chasing dogs? Probably. If they manage to out run the dogs they return to being primary carnivores but will definitely scavengers garbage pails. In Arkansas they always look mangy, scruffy and poorly fed. Wild Couets are faster than Jack Rabbits! If you try to turn a dog into a grain eating vegan it will not be long before you will need a source of kanine insulin to keep your fat diebetic pup alive! Humans are quite simular in that respect except for the type of insulin of course! Humans a more tolerant of carbs but the end result is about the same.
Yes, if you read his books, he is stating that exact thing. Those grains are sugar, they raise your levels more so than a candy bar. This is why after eating pancakes, rolls, high carb/grain products, etc., you experience the same Sugar Crash you would experience after eating a ton of cookies, drinking a ton of pop, consuming sugar. However, the withdrawal and crash from all of these, the grains are the most Severe. You would be surprised if you stopped the grains, how much Less you would crave sugar, even as a sugar addict. His books are a bit technical, but Ive learned more about nutrition, my body, etc. from reading his books. Its too bad that this is looked at as a diet, it is scary that this isnt taken seriously by doctors, nutritionists, etc. There is a reason we are dying earlier than previous generations, reasons why our children have high cholesterol and blood pressure in their teens, why we are extremely overweight, depressed and anxious, and fatigued. We have been ingesting poison continuously, poison that we are being told to Ingest. It is infuriating to see this scoffed at by my doctor, but when going grain free, I got off my blood pressure meds, and I ate chocolate on the daily lol and two or three sodas on the daily. No one will ever convince me that grains are good. I wont go into how amazing my skin looks, how much energy I have, no brain fog, no depression, no anxiety, no overeating....my life is amazing now. Go into the store, read the nutrition labels on the food, and know that wheat/grains are in nearly Everything. It is disgusting, knowing that we are being poisoned! Its money, its a filler, its addictive, and we are the guinea pigs.
@@abracadabruh1313 Fruit mostly, there are occasions where I eat 🍞, but find myself very ill after ha. I do eat peanut butter cups lol and have no reactions, but that may just be me.
Dr's skin looks soooooo good! Going Wheat free saved my singing voice and saved my health! I get as many of my singing students that I can off of Wheat completely. My withdrawal was very slight because I was not eating much of it.
I’ve been gluten free for the past 2 months!! My stomach bloating GONE . Aches and pains GONE . When I want pasta I eat chick pea pasta game changer! Super high in protein and fibre. Yes it’s high in carbs but it’s super high in fibre and doesn’t spike my blood sugar. Doesn’t bloat me at all and have regular bowls movements now. Never eating gluten again!
xLavishz I don’t suffer from celiac disease but I did see a lot of alternative Doctors and even went to India and Sri Lanka for treatment. Somebody advised me to avoid gluten completely and reduce my carb intake as well. I eat 2 meals a day, lunch and dinner and it comprises of vegetables and tofu. I eat an Apple or pear for a snack. I also make it a point not to eat anything after 7pm. I was religiously doing this since 1 August this month. I could see the improvements in 3 weeks and I feel a whole lot better. Cut out sugar at all costs. Now i realise food is the answer to our medical problems.
I’ve been GF due to celiac disease, I’ve never lost weight on a GF diet. It certainly knocked out the pain due to eating gluten, brain fog and pain bloating fatigue has gone. If I accidentally get glutened all the symptoms come back, I can barely put one foot in front of the other. It takes a few days to get the gluten out of my system. Gluten is like poison to me.
I was eating salads and meat for 2 weeks. I was running in the morning and evening for a few hours. One day I got emotionally disturbed and had wheat cookies and porige. Next day, I couldn't jog and couldn't even walk for half a time I did previously. Eating salads and stoping sugar and wheat has increased my capacity to jog and excersise gradually, but starting wheat again had a reverse effect just in One Day.
I didn't know the difference between hunger and wheat addiction until i stopped ingesting wheat. Now i absolutely know the difference and losing weight isn't an isssue, that and i feel amazing :)
This is 100% Correct, getting off Grains Saved my life.. It will yours. I Worked it out for myself. Then found this kind of information. Self Discipline Needed. Life without Grains is so much better.
@@RahafAlharthi fruits, veggies, found this on gugl... Amaranth. Arrowroot. Buckwheat. Corn - cornmeal, grits and polenta labeled gluten-free. Flax. Gluten-free flours - rice, soy, corn, potato and bean flours. Hominy (corn) Millet. Wild options. Have fun ;) But use these in small amounts, get creative with veggies and fruits essentialy.
I have been on 4 High Blood Pressure meds since i was 34. I am fit and my total cholesterol was really good. My doctors could not understand why my BP was so high at that age. The 4 meds got the BP down to around 130/84. I was supposed to be on these meds for the rest of my life. On my 50th birthday , i decided to experiment by giving up sugar , milk and wheat one at a time. When i gave up wheat, my blood pressure suddenly dropped to 112/76. Not even the 4 meds could give me those figures. I concluded that my BP problems must have been caused by the wheat and my body was naturally fighting it off hence my high BP. I stopped my meds for two days and my BP did not go up, went without the meds for a week and still had BP around 120/80. I now take a blend of flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries with my homemade coconut milk for breakfast and my BP is constantly below 120/84, my skin looks younger ,my brain is clearer and cholesterol is great.
I wondered about this. I kept having high blood pressure and was trying to lose weight etc. I went on a gluten free diet and 4 months later I went to the doc and it was a perfect 120/80. I went back for a follow up four weeks later and it was another 121/80. I was amazed but I cant seem to find research to say cutting gluten lowers BP but it did in my case.
@@beezusanne Yep. Wheat is big business and it's in almost all our breakfast meals and nobody will be willing to fund that research. the truth of the matter is that the wheat we have now is different from that of 40 years ago. Even the pest in the farms don't eat it. That says something.
If you listen to this whole show, you'll find he said that wheat has been always not good for us & that it's been made worse & worse in the last 40 years or so.
I was on a keto diet for a while. Lost weight, no more bloating, no brain frog, more energy, no more depression (xanax for years since teenage years, self mutilation). Then at my parents house went back to a regular diet. Went downhill. Going back to keto as it's the best thing I've done for my health, mental and physical.
I read the book about ten years ago. Sooo good. Just yesterday I ate half a sausage that had flour in. Through the night I had crippling back pain. It’s so powerful to tune into our body.
William is amazing! He is so right. I never noticed until reading his books, that after eating oatmeal for breakfast in the morning at 8, my stomach was growling like crazy at 930. I also noticed that my hands would swell up for about six to seven hours after eating oatmeal. I always assumed it was because I was typing at work lol. I started eating eggs in the morning, stomach doesnt growl until lunch, hands didnt swell, just insane!!!
But... oatmeal doesn't contain gluten. In processing and farming of oats they may come in contact with trace amounts of gluten from other crops. Is those trace amounts what you're talking about?
I eat glyphosate free / gluten free oatmeal and it’s making a good difference - I avoid gluten and dairy but still think some other stuff is causing inflammation- it’s just hard to understand why products are allowed to say they’re gluten free but still contain a few specks
I was sick recently for about a month. It got progressively worse with symptoms including severe bloating (upper abdomen & chest) that lasts all day, migraines out of nowhere, and fatigue. The doctor couldn't figure it out. By the 3rd week, after starting meds for bloating, I noticed a slight decrease in bloating, but would blow right back up if I at anything containing flour (bread, flour tortilla, a donut, etc). I'm typically not a big bread eater. So, long story short I cut the flour products completely out. We had a Gluten free Thanksgiving. I am a little over a week gluten free and I feel great. All of the symptoms are gone. It took about 3-4 days gluten free to start feeling better.
I dont understand how Docs dont say go GF right away! Whats the harm? Try it for 2 weeks and see. Instead they have you do 100 tests and still cant figure it out! Useless!
gluten almost ended my life as it shut down my adrenals due to undiagnosed Celiac disease. Was in a wheelchair and no one could figure out what was wrong. My brother, the "doctor" who misdiagnosed me and I consequently lost everything because of his stubborn pride refusing to admit the adrenals were failing even though I had labs proving such. My body was literally fermenting to death. I did not know I had Celiac until 2 years later after I lost everything. Conventional doctors are the WORST! Also, I would bet Dr. Davis has reconsidered his take on a carnivore diet (organic as possible) because the results are amazing in the many I know who have stuck to this way of eating for years.
Rhonda Williams congrats. Due to daily doze of antibiotics and poor diet. I have been sick 2 1/2 months lost 30 pounds an arthritic flar up I am going wheat and daily for good luck congrats on your joutney
I just made the decision to go gluten, dairy free. In just three days I feel better. Years of recurring digestive 'infections,' allergies, sinus infections, URI...and hearing loss. I am hopeful, and my energy and mood is way better.
I'd given up gluten to address my IBS. But one night, not having eaten all day - I ate a load of gluten-free bread. And the next day, my IBS really flared up. It was then that I knew that wheat was the issue - not least because after eating bran flakes, I was always aware of an immediate qualitative change that I couldn't really define. But bear in mind that at this point - it was all about resolving my IBS. So, I didn't eat wheat the next day ... and here's the fantastic thing - I discovered it cured my CFS/ME (aswell as the IBS) My CFS had gotten progressively worse since my mid-20's (30 years ago). It had gotten to the point that I couldn't walk very far or fast (or stand for long) because after half an hour, I'd have a mood and fatigue crash. I'd wanted to go to a public firework display in November - but would only be able to do it if I took my bike to sit on (which effectively, was my wheelchair) because I couldn't stand for long ... so I didn't go. But a day or so after giving up grains, I went out for an evening stroll - and about 2 hours after returning, realised I hadn't had any kind of mood crash ... and was very excited that it could be due to the grainlessness. So the next evening, I decided I'd try and trigger a crash by walking faster - and when I got back, there was no crash. I also realised that my knees hadn't buckled once during my walk as they constantly used to ... and that I could walk over uneven ground without looking like a ragdoll. Now I was really excited. So I decided I walk a really long way the next evening - and I walked for maybe an hour and jogged the last few hundred yards home ... and I hadn't run for years ! And no mood or fatigue crash ! Evidently, my muscles just weren't receiving the signals to burn and work - because I used to get breathless walking at a normal pace ... which completely disappeared. The other effects were a quiet mind (none of the distracting mental 'static') - not being constantly hungry (I lost a stone without trying) - and being able to follow movie dialogue without effort (which I hadn't realised I was having to previously) aswell as being more observant of visual detail. And after 6 months, I also realised that I hadn't had a single suicidal thought ... which before was routine and daily. Giving up grains was truly transformational and had liberated me from neurological disability.
Thankyou for sharing your experiences. I was 17 when it started getting bad and now at 32 I'm desperate for a solution. I've been trying GF but having just as bad symptoms and this guy has just said stop thinking gluten is the only bad thing in wheat... As he's been talking it's joined up so much of my trial and error. Your words have just given me hope I can turn this around. Chronic fatigue and chronic pain have robbed me if my twenties but in determined to get my life back
Wow very similiar to me. Bran flakes lover here. I ate them on mass lol. But was always lazy. 25 to 35 i noticed digestive health problems along the way. I was pretty fit until i took an antibiotic and i think these just amplify everything. As you loose good gut bacteria. So i was taking big probiotics and getting better then i took box of cerial again. With hot water to make sure it wasnt milk. I went back into CFS and IBS. I think that confirmed it that its wheat that is the issue. This happened to the egyptians too. The wheat got infected with mold
Never had problem with my weight but had crippling depression which has nearly vanished since I went gluten and processed carbs free about a month ago.
I've been having acid reflux for as long as can remember, and after researching on my other symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, tiredness i went gluten free. The heart burn has disappeared, i feel more energetic and the amount that i eat has become so small because i don't get hungry as much and feel full after eating a little. I'm just so thankful for finding out the problem
Yep he is spot on, i gave up wheat and grains, suger and ceed oils, lost 19 kilos, feel superhuman, no plaque, no rashers, no joint pain, no irritable bowls, no bloating, loads of energy, getting stronger everyday. Everything we have been told about nutrition by the establishment is wrong, .
Everything this guy says is absolutely right. So why is it, my sister & I (aged 42 & 39 respectively) have been diagnosed with Celiacs, but our parents have no issues at all consuming wheat products? I believe it's because our parents were raised on a different diet consisting of different grains, but things changed around the time we kids were born (mid-late 70's). I for one was raised on vegemite & cheese sandwiches (it's an Aussie thing). Not a day would go by that I wouldn't eat a wheat based product. I always had a healthy "beer gut" too, even as a kid. If I follow that diet now, I get horrendous gut aches, headaches, irritable bowels including bloody stools, fatigue & the list of health problems goes on. Ultimately a lack of nutrition due to irritable bowel & celiacs could result in leukemia & an early death Since changing my diet to gluten free, I can eat regularly without irritation or feelings off sudden hunger (at times this could be crippling), I have normal stools, no headaches, regular sleep patterns...& most of all I'm happy. I have also dropped to a healthy 70kg down from a peak of 91kg, in the space of about 6 months. This weight is perfect for my body mass index. I'm finally healthy.
Genetically Engineered Foods causes gluten intolerance. They are engineered to be able to resist being sprayed with RoundUp, and everything but the wheat, soybean, etc. The industrialization of food is slowly killing us!
6 days ago I quit wheat and I thought I got a bad flu. I did some research before that decision. So NOW I watch this guy say that it was just withdrawal symptoms.
Ive been Gluten Free for 6 weeks. My growling stomach is gone and digestive issues are mostly gone and so is my joint pain....i went GF on my own advice to try to figure out my situation.
I am gluten and wheat free for a month now and I see huge improvements in my psoriasis skin as well as it cleared up most of my flaky scalp too, as a bonus my joint pains as result from this autoimmune disease has completely gone. Couldn't believe it as I literally tried every diet and ointment on the planet. I am aware of the fact that this would not help everyone, but I am sure that wheat and gluten are a no-go zone for me. I feel so much fitter and healthier. I wonder what happens after a year if even after one month of gluten free is already so powerful.
I stopped gluten and I have zero pain in my body. Holistic and Naturopathic doctors are the ones who are doing all the research and bringing these findings to light and then regular doctors finally figure it out. Healthcare is changing because people are no longer okay with treating symptoms and not the root cause of diseases. Doctors have been ruled by pharmacy companies and healthcare entities for profit over actual helping people heal their bodies and cure diseases
I think wheat wasn't a problem 50 years ago. Today wheat has been bred to increase gluten, the chromosome count is up much higher than in the past. Also now with all the Pesticides which swell the gut and is found in wheat, it's causing so many problems. It's a crime what theses chemical companies have done to our food, to our health.
For the unbeliever, how about give up the gluten for one month and see how ur body react to it.And then reintroduce it back.Your body will never lie to you.Stop being ignorance and said something like "human being has been consumed wheat for million of years".That just outright dumb
I found out I had a gluten allergy in 2016 with a blood test. My symptoms were all respiratory, even though I was tested for asthma and tested negative. Most symptoms were in my throat - constant "throat clearing" to the point I couldn't even hold a conversation. Doctor said I had acid reflux and prescribed Nexium, but I found that hard to believe the onset would be so bad. I never filled the prescription. He then decided to test me for food allergies and gluten allergy was positive. I'm not always compliant with a gluten-free diet, but after seeing this video I will be strict. I would love to know what Dr. David thinks of Einkorn wheat though.
Be wise and try it yourself! Experience is the best teacher. I had recently been suffering from thyroid issues and a skin rash issue that didn't heal for over a year. I went to a year of immunotherapy allergy shots with no improvement, a dermatologist, with no relief, and then began looking for other options. I figured that giving up gluten for a season was a small sacrifice to test this doctor's hypothesis. I went farther though, I also gave up all GMOs and sugar, all meat, only consuming non-GMO foods and organic fruits and veggies. In two weeks, ALL of my "allergy" symptoms cleared up. My brain fog has lifted and my energy levels are through the roof. AMAZING!!! This is going to be a permanent lifestyle change for me. For all the naysayers, one can deny a truth based on personal ideologies, but not personal experience.
I’ve been off wheat for a week today- cutting off pastas and breads (which I eat every single day) and avoiding everything that has wheat in the ingredients. I’m eating rice and potatoes in place of them, and my meals have become far more filling and spaced apart (because they aren’t as quick to make as the prior two are) Besides feeling really hungry for the first 5 days, I feel really light and energetic and today I found myself getting mildly hungry at around 3 pm- even though I skipped breakfast. I don’t have celiac disease, I just decided to do this to see if my body feels better and if I have any allergy to wheat. It’s a lot easier than I thought it would be, I’m surprised by what the doctor is saying.
Rice also has a gluten-like protein in it that many people are sensitive to. Many supplements and medications use wheat, rice or corn starch as a binding agent.
I have had chronic pain for over 30 years. Doctors have been NO help to me. They just did test after test, and gave me drug after drug. It has been a nightmare. I am going to go gluten free and see what happens.
Update: I have been wheat free about 9 days. I have lost 3 pounds, I feel more awake and clearer, less hungry, fewer cravings, and I think my pain is lower. It is hard to tell. I went thru a bit of a withdrawal where it was worse. I feel great and I am going to keep this up. Oh, and my gut is much more comfortable. The rest of my diet is very good and I am already a vegan.
listen to your bodies. if your body doesn't like something it will tell you. hence you get sick. moderation is also the key. everyone's body is different some people can tolerate rubbish others cannot.
I had heart attack at 55. I am thin fit. Doctor says there is nothing I can do. I stopped wheat and my intestine work better. Heartburn gone. My parents did not have early heart disease. My husband's blood pressure went down off wheat.
lol I was in the hospital for a month for “symptomatic Crohn’s disease”. I was convinced that I had IBS/IBD….1 month without any bread/grains and I gained so much energy, no brain fog, no apathy, and healthy BM’s. I only eat 2 meals/day between 10am-6pm…no ravenous hunger between then.
I have been on 4 Blood Pressure medication since i was 34. My blood pressure is still high when i miss a day of medication but my sugar and cholesterol levels were really good. I baffled my Doctor. Many tests and scans failed to point out the cause of the high BP. When i turned 51 this year i decided to give up Gluten and Sugar and after two weeks , my BP dropped to 117/72 for the first time. I decided to skip my medications for two days and my BP was even better 112/70. I bought a new BP monitor just to make sure it was correct and it's still below 117/75 everyday. I should have done this 21 years ago instead of popping pills. ''You are indeed what you eat''. My body has been fighting the poisons i have been putting into it , hence my high BP from the age of 32. I haven't felt this good in a long time.
I had terrible rashes, that would bleed, pop up all over my body. Nothing I took or applied made it go away, it just caused other issues. My joints ached, my legs, feet and hips would hurt so much, I couldn’t sleep. I went gluten free and within 2 weeks, my rash was gone(it had been there for two years), my feet, legs, hips and joints stopped hurting. I honestly thought I had MS, fibromyalgia or something of that nature.
I was tested for allergies back in the 80s. The top two were WHEAT and SOY. Any commercially prepared food product has those items in them. Check the label.
I respect this guy and I respect and strongly advocate a gluten-free diet (wheat, rye, spelt, barley free). That being said I think it's a bit of a cop-out to say all grains are bad. We essentially eat the seeds of grain plants so saying that is bad is comparable to saying eating nuts from trees or seeds from things like sunflowers or pumpkin seeds is bad.
Seeds and nuts have toxins to prevent ingestion to protect the plant’s ability to reproduce. I’m most familiar with almonds with oxalates because I cracked 2 teeth and had horrific joint inflammation. Thankfully I ran across Dr Ken Berry’s channel over a year ago, eat ketovore (less than 20 grams of carbs a day) completely healed, lost my fatty liver problem and 45 pounds. Have painlessly maintained the loss (because I am healthy now) for 8 months. Sally K Morton is the oxalate expert and has a website. For your health’s sake I pray you keep an open mind and check out Dr Berry.
I absolutely love Dr. Davis however one thing he said in his discussion did not ring true to me, going off of sugar most certainly DOES give you similar effects of going off of wheat. I know this all too well personally from weening myself off of sugars (stopping cold turkey years ago) first, before I ever thought to get rid of wheat and all seeds of grass, due to issues with Candida and I can say 100% it is just like going off a low grade drug, with all of the 'fun' symptoms included. I am surprised he says this because he is a doctor and an advocate to not eat sugars, as mentioned in his books. I would think he would understand the dopamine release that happens in the brain when we eat sweets, and all the other similar wheat/sugar similarities. I really think he should collaborate with Dr. Lustig the crusader of a sugar free world and teach America and the world how to eat. Doctor Lustig mentions in his documentary 'toxic sugars' that the Paleolithic diet is a terrific way to cure type 2 diabetes. This lifestyle includes both a no sugar and no seeds of grass way of life. - Just food for thought. If two powerhouses like Dr. Davis and Dr. Lustig united with their factions of followers, I for-see wonderful things happening for the world of healthy eating, as Hippocrates said, "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
If you think you react to gluten - even if your blood tests came back negative to celiac - try cutting out gluten for at least 6 weeks anyway. I was tested several times on celiac and it always came back negative. Got diagnosed with IBS-D and put on medication. After trying out a glutenfree diet myself it turned out I react to gluten and am now free from all my horrible IBS symptoms. I heard that story many times now. Some people react to gluten without having celiac disease.
I stopped Saturday & sunday 27- 28 april 2019 with eating bread. Pain disappeared from my stomach. My stomach feels good. Let me see how much weight I will lose within 1 month. I shall buy your book Dr Williams
I used to have cravings all the time. Now I don’t and felt this difference within 2 days of skipping all gluten and dairy out of my diet. You also naturally start taking less sugar coz most of sugar is consumed either through dairy products or wheat.
Buckwheat porridge made from buckwheat groats is great with Stevia and sea salt along with almond milk for breakfast. Soaks the groats 2 times in boiling water and leave overnight to soften and cuts the cooking time down to 15 mins and then blend just a tiny bit and add in almond milk, salt and Stevia. Buckwheat pasta is gluten free too!
Very informative. Not sure if I'm buying the entire 'all grains are evil' idea, but I'm on board with ditching wheat. I've felt the effects firsthand (diminished pain, skin rashes, and GERD), and love the increased energy. Still love my other grains like GF oats, rice, corn and potatoes, but I've definitely cut down how much breads have dominated my diet.
@@edmondpottle1181 oats, not so much gluten but I go organic to be sure there’s no glyphosate or wheat by products. The rest you listed, I definitely cannot do. My comment is 4 years old and since then I’ve discovered I’m allergic to gluten, thankfully not a celiac reaction but mild anaphylaxis is still nothing fun. Rice, quinoa, and organic oats are my go to grains but constitute a much smaller portion of my diet than fruits, veggies, and proteins
@@OhTylerB yes very easy to go out of balance and become a ‘breadatarian’ lol. This comment is 4 years old but I still feel similarly now as I did then. I cannot do gluten in any form as I’m allergic but I do organic oats, quinoa, and rice. Some corn too, albeit in a lesser amount than the typical American diet. Those grains I won’t reduce any more than I have as I’ve not noticed any ill effects with the amount that I eat. I try not to eat anything from the gluten-free section either as that’s loaded with sugars, which I feel is the larger problem with grains as a whole. My blood sugar and cholesterol is fine however so I’m not worried about my current diet. At least not until the holidays roll around and gluten laden foods are everywhere 😆 always keeping an eye out for metabolic changes though. No diets I’ve been on has been a forever one
I’ve been diagnosed with IBS a few years ago but recently my IBS has been really bad lately. As soon as I went on a gluten free diet, ive not had a bad stomach since
I've had digestive issues my whole life. Also felt lack of energy, was called lazy most of the time, and was overweigth. My mind would get very foggy and confused sometimes and my mood was terrible. I also developed psoriasis at age 11. After every meal I would take a 3 hour nap from being so tired. Finally realized I was a celiac or allergic to gluten, after 21 years of struggling with mental and physical health. Now it all makes sense, the food pyramid is a sick joke to make more money, a win-win for the food and drug industries. I've only been gluten and wheat free for about 3 days and already feel so much better with a lot more enegy, no napping or bad mood. I wish my family members followed me on this new change but because of the "gluten" label on wheat they believed that to be the only problem when its actually all of the components of wheat together. Once I get healthier and better I hope they believe me and follow suit. Thank you for this information, it is life changing!
Not saying you don't have it or anything, but if you have Celiac disease then it's because of a placebo that you feel better after just 3 days. Celiac damages your intestines and takes months if not years to heal on a gluten free diet. There days wouldn't make any difference whatsoever to 90% of the typical no symptoms. It's more likely that you have gluten sensitivity which is less severe, though still not fun.
We need more info on what we can eat and learn from experts on gluten and grains to optimise health. Interesting blog where I learnt that just a little bit won’t hurt - my mantra when eating out which can be a nightmare for gluten sensitive diners. Thanks 😊
Sugar is also a killer. I have been off it for 2 weeks now and my energy has been more stable, and my eye sight improved and I dropped 2lbs in 2weeks. No wonder people in the USA suffer with obesity. Its the wheat and sugar combo. Now I also gave up grains and suagr a while back for about 8 months and my life changed in many ways, from memory to energy and sleep, I sorta felt like a super hero. Well I slipped back into life long old ways.... but now im deciding that feeling like crap all the time sucks and I know what to do to get out of it. So just here to remind myself in something I already believe in.
The AIP diet worked for me...stopped my inflammation and arthritis almost immediately. I miss grains so now I'm looking at wheat alternatives like sorghum.
Take the gluten challenge, they've not told us the truth and when we took our girl off of wheat she excelleddddd' too but wow Jorgia' clear as a bell, better look out mama bear Jorgia just may take over this channel completely! ❤😂
Went completely gluten free 25 years ago, within 2 weeks I was free of migraines, arthritis, Ibs and mood instability. It saved my life going gluten free
I went gluten not long ago (because of inflamat.)but my belly is even bigger although im slim. I don't consume lactose either. I'd be more than grateful if u have some advice
@@sanyam8840test your hormones, and tell us
@@sanyam8840Peas and legumes mess me up almost exactly as gluten. Swap out foods one by one
I went Gluten free a month ago. Not a thing has changed. Seems gluten doesn't do anything bad to me. Is intolerance regional?
@@MadaraUchiha... actually I had a diagnose (with biopsy) 1 month ago and I am of glut free diet but no changes so far, doctor said 1 year not 2 weeks as other saying all the time.
I recently adopted a Wheat ( Gluten ) free diet after years of being a physical and Emotional Wreck always fatigued, and it's the best thing I ever did.
Gluten maybe involved with glaucoma.
Dr. Davis should be commended for telling the truth!
I can’t agree more I am a nurse of over 40 yrs and have almost turned my back on the the medical pharmaceutical model. I’ve turned around numerous health issues and lost 20kg and maintained my weight for the first time in my life. I’m passionate about this topic!
So u eliminate wheat totally so have no more joint pain ?
Good for you!! Knowledge is power, thanks for teaching others the truth!!
Can we be friends?
@@alisonkuan674 it’s not quite as simple as that (rye,barley and most grains contain some form of gluten!) but yes. I had poly, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis in my fifties and it’s all gone! Happy journeying!
@@conniegreen7689 Hi Connie, gosh this is an old post, then you popped up! What do you mean by friends, , as I’m not that good with social media (sporadic at best) tell me about your health journey……
There should be a saying: tell me what you eat and I will tell why you are sick.
Truth
You just created it!!
And I’ll tell you what your sickness is.
I had IBS really bad.
A friend of mine suggested that I remove gluten from my diet (her doctor was a holistic and natural doctor/nutritionist) who explained to her what gluten does to people. I removed wheat/gluten from my diet in January 2021 and went 5 months without it. I felt a million times better and my IBS was gone. I recently added gluten back to my diet to see what would happen. I went right back to bloating, constipation, sharp a abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches and low energy. I removed it again 2 weeks ago and I feel so much better now and I can actually take a proper SH*T everyday!
Removing gluten is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, besides quitting smoking.
My partner experienced the same thing. He stopped eating it and IBS symptoms out the window
You might want to get checked for celiac disease.
@@wrenfan because celiac disease is significantly worse than gluten intolerance/sensitivity even though the symptoms are similar.
This doctor is a genius. Everyone should listen to him, at least try it for few weeks. You will see the difference.
I’m an adult with Aspergers and when I switched my diet and cut out gluten, dairy, & sugar, my sensitivity to sounds, light, touch, ability to cope with stress, as well as my anxiety, went way down to like nothing. I heard about it from Chris Kresser on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Anyone with ASD or a kid who has it should look into this.
Not only cutting out the opiate aspect of the wheat would help but by cutting out sugar and cutting a lot of carbs from wheat your magnesium status probably improved as these items use up a lot of magnesium and that could be oart of the mechanism with resoect to the sensory sensitivity . Low magnesium status is associated with hypersensitivity to sound and anxiety too, among other things. Magnesium is involved in more than 300 reactions in the body. Serum magnesium levels are not a good indicator of cellular levels . RBC magnesium is a better measure of status. Dr. Carolyn Dean believes you should be above 6.0. I give my autistic daughter a combination of magnesium glycinate, taurate, malate and a small amount of citrate..
4Veritas Thanks for that info! I started taking magnesium a few months ago because I heard it helps with sleep, so I’ll definitely keep taking it now.
No jou t stiffness either
I'm starting to think there is no such thing as Aspergers and maybe just symptoms of gluten being bad for us and low vitamin levels due to bad absorption. I too had very bad social anxiety, depression and removed gluten from my diet but i also had bad candida and low vitamin levels. After treating all of these i am like the person i was as a child, outgoing, non fatigued and happy! So many people like 70% on my street have symptoms of Aspergers and many with bad anxiety and this is on the rise, maybe if everyone removed gluten treated themselves for a leaky gut and got all vitamin levels up anxiety numbers and depression will go down?
@@eifionphillips3004 I'm starting to have the same thinking. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Even with no noticeable symptoms, giving up wheat improved how I felt, less hungry. more energy etc. and I couldn't figure recently why all my trousers wont quite stay up round my waist. Prove it to yourself, its worth it.
Well, if not only because of gluten.. pizza, hamburgers etc aren’t made out of gluten only
I’m definetly giving it a try
ahh, good old gluten bloating
I had no withdrawals from quiting besides feeling way better

My dog has a gluten allergy, noticed after he broke out in a rash and started scratching all the time. Had to switch him to grain free food, he's better now.
My dog put o wight and lost his shiny coat and started to get creaky joints when he had bread. I cut out bread and he looks like a much younger dog with bags of energy, just shows if it was bad for him probably us too!
I thought dog is carnivora, that's mean eat meat
Most dogs do. They don´t have many enzimes to digest several types of cereals, seeds and vegetables in their gut bacteria and stomach. That´s why putting dogs on a vegan diet is a very bad idea.
There are some similarities and many differences in the diet requirements of dogs and humans.
Dogs are scavengers, tolerant of carrion if it is not too rotten. They do well on meat but generaly eat nose to tail.
I have seen Cyotes raid watermelon fields near ruining a crop. Ripe watermelons are not long in the field. Would Cyotes thrive on them as a steady diet? Probably not. Can they get some water and sugar to prop up their ability to out run a pack of Cyote chasing dogs? Probably. If they manage to out run the dogs they return to being primary carnivores but will definitely scavengers garbage pails. In Arkansas they always look mangy, scruffy and poorly fed. Wild Couets are faster than Jack Rabbits!
If you try to turn a dog into a grain eating vegan it will not be long before you will need a source of kanine insulin to keep your fat diebetic pup alive! Humans are quite simular in that respect except for the type of insulin of course! Humans a more tolerant of carbs but the end result is about the same.
He shouldn't have said their are no candy or candy bar withdrawal symptoms. Sugar is a big addictive for many people.
Yes, if you read his books, he is stating that exact thing. Those grains are sugar, they raise your levels more so than a candy bar. This is why after eating pancakes, rolls, high carb/grain products, etc., you experience the same Sugar Crash you would experience after eating a ton of cookies, drinking a ton of pop, consuming sugar. However, the withdrawal and crash from all of these, the grains are the most Severe. You would be surprised if you stopped the grains, how much Less you would crave sugar, even as a sugar addict. His books are a bit technical, but Ive learned more about nutrition, my body, etc. from reading his books. Its too bad that this is looked at as a diet, it is scary that this isnt taken seriously by doctors, nutritionists, etc. There is a reason we are dying earlier than previous generations, reasons why our children have high cholesterol and blood pressure in their teens, why we are extremely overweight, depressed and anxious, and fatigued. We have been ingesting poison continuously, poison that we are being told to Ingest. It is infuriating to see this scoffed at by my doctor, but when going grain free, I got off my blood pressure meds, and I ate chocolate on the daily lol and two or three sodas on the daily. No one will ever convince me that grains are good. I wont go into how amazing my skin looks, how much energy I have, no brain fog, no depression, no anxiety, no overeating....my life is amazing now. Go into the store, read the nutrition labels on the food, and know that wheat/grains are in nearly Everything. It is disgusting, knowing that we are being poisoned! Its money, its a filler, its addictive, and we are the guinea pigs.
@@Lovethemedia Do you still consume carbs? and if so, which ones?
@@abracadabruh1313 Fruit mostly, there are occasions where I eat 🍞, but find myself very ill after ha. I do eat peanut butter cups lol and have no reactions, but that may just be me.
You know what, I was going to disagree with him but I don't remember having any withdrawal when I did cut sugar. I know I felt better.
@@Lovethemedia ĺ¹
eating wheat causes me to have joint pain. Now, I look at bread, pasta as PAIN 😫
Dr's skin looks soooooo good! Going Wheat free saved my singing voice and saved my health! I get as many of my singing students that I can off of Wheat completely. My withdrawal was very slight because I was not eating much of it.
But not a slim Jim I noticed, great talk all the same ..
I’ve been gluten free for the past 2 months!!
My stomach bloating GONE .
Aches and pains GONE .
When I want pasta I eat chick pea pasta game changer! Super high in protein and fibre. Yes it’s high in carbs but it’s super high in fibre and doesn’t spike my blood sugar.
Doesn’t bloat me at all and have regular bowls movements now.
Never eating gluten again!
Love this man. All my health issues disappeared following his advice.
I can vouch for this. Going gluten free, greatly improved my skin and my psoriasis, I lost weight and I feel more energetic and wonderful.
xLavishz I could see the changes within 3 weeks. I also drank 4 litres of water daily and I don’t drink or smoke.
xLavishz I don’t suffer from celiac disease but I did see a lot of alternative Doctors and even went to India and Sri Lanka for treatment. Somebody advised me to avoid gluten completely and reduce my carb intake as well. I eat 2 meals a day, lunch and dinner and it comprises of vegetables and tofu. I eat an Apple or pear for a snack. I also make it a point not to eat anything after 7pm. I was religiously doing this since 1 August this month. I could see the improvements in 3 weeks and I feel a whole lot better. Cut out sugar at all costs. Now i realise food is the answer to our medical problems.
I’ve been GF due to celiac disease, I’ve never lost weight on a GF diet. It certainly knocked out the pain due to eating gluten, brain fog and pain bloating fatigue has gone. If I accidentally get glutened all the symptoms come back, I can barely put one foot in front of the other. It takes a few days to get the gluten out of my system.
Gluten is like poison to me.
This is probably the best 30 minutes I've ever seen on this gluten issue. Very informative. Don't miss this.

Thanks, I will stop reading through the comments and actually watch it now :)
Good to get copy of his book and read it. I lost 56 lbs cutting out wheat and plus my health has so improve. :)
Carol Ralston
Yes ! Cleared up many problems! The problem is eating out and having to research the restaurant to see if they are really gluten free!
The Doctor is a chubby one. I guess it doesn't work for everyone
@@Tlmorrison88 He probably it's a lot of dairy, that tends to pile on the weight fast.
What exactly you cutted off is oatmeal also included
I was eating salads and meat for 2 weeks. I was running in the morning and evening for a few hours. One day I got emotionally disturbed and had wheat cookies and porige. Next day, I couldn't jog and couldn't even walk for half a time I did previously. Eating salads and stoping sugar and wheat has increased my capacity to jog and excersise gradually, but starting wheat again had a reverse effect just in One Day.
Could be a coincidence
I didn't know the difference between hunger and wheat addiction until i stopped ingesting wheat.
Now i absolutely know the difference and losing weight isn't an isssue, that and i feel amazing :)
Government has a vested interest in keeping people on wheat. Farm subsidies.

This is 100% Correct, getting off Grains Saved my life.. It will yours. I Worked it out for myself. Then found this kind of information. Self Discipline Needed. Life without Grains is so much better.
Ty for that great news :)
I don't have celiacs... and I am on a gluten free diary free diet... I feel 100% better,. Not gut bloating my acne is even gone
I want to start but I don’t know what’s gluten free to eat? Is rice ok?
@@RahafAlharthi fruits, veggies, found this on gugl...
Amaranth.
Arrowroot.
Buckwheat.
Corn - cornmeal, grits and polenta labeled gluten-free.
Flax.
Gluten-free flours - rice, soy, corn, potato and bean flours.
Hominy (corn)
Millet.
Wild options. Have fun ;) But use these in small amounts, get creative with veggies and fruits essentialy.
It's called gluten intolerance
I have been on 4 High Blood Pressure meds since i was 34. I am fit and my total cholesterol was really good. My doctors could not understand why my BP was so high at that age. The 4 meds got the BP down to around 130/84. I was supposed to be on these meds for the rest of my life. On my 50th birthday , i decided to experiment by giving up sugar , milk and wheat one at a time. When i gave up wheat, my blood pressure suddenly dropped to 112/76. Not even the 4 meds could give me those figures. I concluded that my BP problems must have been caused by the wheat and my body was naturally fighting it off hence my high BP. I stopped my meds for two days and my BP did not go up, went without the meds for a week and still had BP around 120/80. I now take a blend of flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries with my homemade coconut milk for breakfast and my BP is constantly below 120/84, my skin looks younger ,my brain is clearer and cholesterol is great.
Thanks for your experiment. Nice info. Wheat is bad.
I wondered about this. I kept having high blood pressure and was trying to lose weight etc. I went on a gluten free diet and 4 months later I went to the doc and it was a perfect 120/80. I went back for a follow up four weeks later and it was another 121/80. I was amazed but I cant seem to find research to say cutting gluten lowers BP but it did in my case.
@@beezusanne Yep. Wheat is big business and it's in almost all our breakfast meals and nobody will be willing to fund that research. the truth of the matter is that the wheat we have now is different from that of 40 years ago. Even the pest in the farms don't eat it. That says something.
If you listen to this whole show, you'll find he said that wheat has been always not good for us & that it's been made worse & worse in the last 40 years or so.
Ever since I read your book Whet Belly, I have given up wheat and wheat related products. I am 100% gluten free now.
been gluten free for ehh 5 or 6 days now no withdraw feelings..... no acid reflux no bloating no stomach cramps....so far :) i feel soo good

Finally someone telling the whole (food) story..
I read the book about ten years ago. Sooo good. Just yesterday I ate half a sausage that had flour in. Through the night I had crippling back pain. It’s so powerful to tune into our body.
Could’ve been gall bladder too -
@@sunnyday7843yeah sounds like gallbladder or kidneys…… def not gluten…
William is amazing! He is so right. I never noticed until reading his books, that after eating oatmeal for breakfast in the morning at 8, my stomach was growling like crazy at 930. I also noticed that my hands would swell up for about six to seven hours after eating oatmeal. I always assumed it was because I was typing at work lol. I started eating eggs in the morning, stomach doesnt growl until lunch, hands didnt swell, just insane!!!
But... oatmeal doesn't contain gluten.
In processing and farming of oats they may come in contact with trace amounts of gluten from other crops. Is those trace amounts what you're talking about?
Facts. Same thing happened to me an hour and half after eating oat meal I'd be hungry again.
@@curtisowen3233😊
I eat glyphosate free / gluten free oatmeal and it’s making a good difference - I avoid gluten and dairy but still think some other stuff is causing inflammation- it’s just hard to understand why products are allowed to say they’re gluten free but still contain a few specks
Thank you Dr. Davis and Randy for helping others with this video.
I was sick recently for about a month. It got progressively worse with symptoms including severe bloating (upper abdomen & chest) that lasts all day, migraines out of nowhere, and fatigue. The doctor couldn't figure it out. By the 3rd week, after starting meds for bloating, I noticed a slight decrease in bloating, but would blow right back up if I at anything containing flour (bread, flour tortilla, a donut, etc). I'm typically not a big bread eater. So, long story short I cut the flour products completely out. We had a Gluten free Thanksgiving. I am a little over a week gluten free and I feel great. All of the symptoms are gone. It took about 3-4 days gluten free to start feeling better.
Thanks for that!
do u eat oats btw?
Ben Joseph I haven't tried oats yet. I plan to try them this week. Hoping that I can eat oats, I love oatmeal raisin cookies.
I dont understand how Docs dont say go GF right away! Whats the harm? Try it for 2 weeks and see. Instead they have you do 100 tests and still cant figure it out! Useless!
Turn to lactos free milk you will feel even better.
Still doing good?
gluten almost ended my life as it shut down my adrenals due to undiagnosed Celiac disease. Was in a wheelchair and no one could figure out what was wrong. My brother, the "doctor" who misdiagnosed me and I consequently lost everything because of his stubborn pride refusing to admit the adrenals were failing even though I had labs proving such. My body was literally fermenting to death. I did not know I had Celiac until 2 years later after I lost everything. Conventional doctors are the WORST! Also, I would bet Dr. Davis has reconsidered his take on a carnivore diet (organic as possible) because the results are amazing in the many I know who have stuck to this way of eating for years.
I am off 18 medication after25 years
Rhonda Williams congrats. Due to daily doze of antibiotics and poor diet. I have been sick 2 1/2 months lost 30 pounds an arthritic flar up
I am going wheat and daily for good luck congrats on your joutney
Cockatoosmom was uuyuuyuuuu
I just made the decision to go gluten, dairy free. In just three days I feel better. Years of recurring digestive 'infections,' allergies, sinus infections, URI...and hearing loss. I am hopeful, and my energy and mood is way better.
I'd given up gluten to address my IBS.
But one night, not having eaten all day - I ate a load of gluten-free bread.
And the next day, my IBS really flared up.
It was then that I knew that wheat was the issue - not least because after eating bran flakes, I was always aware of an immediate qualitative change that I couldn't really define.
But bear in mind that at this point - it was all about resolving my IBS.
So, I didn't eat wheat the next day ... and here's the fantastic thing - I discovered it cured my CFS/ME (aswell as the IBS)
My CFS had gotten progressively worse since my mid-20's (30 years ago).
It had gotten to the point that I couldn't walk very far or fast (or stand for long) because after half an hour, I'd have a mood and fatigue crash.
I'd wanted to go to a public firework display in November - but would only be able to do it if I took my bike to sit on (which effectively, was my wheelchair) because I couldn't stand for long ... so I didn't go.
But a day or so after giving up grains, I went out for an evening stroll - and about 2 hours after returning, realised I hadn't had any kind of mood crash ... and was very excited that it could be due to the grainlessness.
So the next evening, I decided I'd try and trigger a crash by walking faster - and when I got back, there was no crash.
I also realised that my knees hadn't buckled once during my walk as they constantly used to ... and that I could walk over uneven ground without looking like a ragdoll.
Now I was really excited.
So I decided I walk a really long way the next evening - and I walked for maybe an hour and jogged the last few hundred yards home ... and I hadn't run for years !
And no mood or fatigue crash !
Evidently, my muscles just weren't receiving the signals to burn and work - because I used to get breathless walking at a normal pace ... which completely disappeared.
The other effects were a quiet mind (none of the distracting mental 'static') - not being constantly hungry (I lost a stone without trying) - and being able to follow movie dialogue without effort (which I hadn't realised I was having to previously) aswell as being more observant of visual detail.
And after 6 months, I also realised that I hadn't had a single suicidal thought ... which before was routine and daily.
Giving up grains was truly transformational and had liberated me from neurological disability.
‘No pain, no grain ‘ book is really good
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Nick!
Thankyou for sharing your experiences. I was 17 when it started getting bad and now at 32 I'm desperate for a solution.
I've been trying GF but having just as bad symptoms and this guy has just said stop thinking gluten is the only bad thing in wheat... As he's been talking it's joined up so much of my trial and error. Your words have just given me hope I can turn this around.
Chronic fatigue and chronic pain have robbed me if my twenties but in determined to get my life back
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow very similiar to me. Bran flakes lover here. I ate them on mass lol. But was always lazy. 25 to 35 i noticed digestive health problems along the way. I was pretty fit until i took an antibiotic and i think these just amplify everything. As you loose good gut bacteria. So i was taking big probiotics and getting better then i took box of cerial again. With hot water to make sure it wasnt milk. I went back into CFS and IBS. I think that confirmed it that its wheat that is the issue. This happened to the egyptians too. The wheat got infected with mold
My dentist asked me what drugs I was on and when I told him I was on reflux medication he said , so am I and so is everybody in the practice.
Never had problem with my weight but had crippling depression which has nearly vanished since I went gluten and processed carbs free about a month ago.
Mariyan
processed carbs are murder on the mind!
sugars too.
Congrats!
I've been having acid reflux for as long as can remember, and after researching on my other symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, tiredness i went gluten free. The heart burn has disappeared, i feel more energetic and the amount that i eat has become so small because i don't get hungry as much and feel full after eating a little. I'm just so thankful for finding out the problem
If you accidentally eat gluten how long do your symptoms last?
Thw world needs more doctor like Dr. Davis!
Yep he is spot on, i gave up wheat and grains, suger and ceed oils, lost 19 kilos, feel superhuman, no plaque, no rashers, no joint pain, no irritable bowls, no bloating, loads of energy, getting stronger everyday. Everything we have been told about nutrition by the establishment is wrong, .
Everything this guy says is absolutely right.
So why is it, my sister & I (aged 42 & 39 respectively) have been diagnosed with Celiacs, but our parents have no issues at all consuming wheat products?
I believe it's because our parents were raised on a different diet consisting of different grains, but things changed around the time we kids were born (mid-late 70's).
I for one was raised on vegemite & cheese sandwiches (it's an Aussie thing). Not a day would go by that I wouldn't eat a wheat based product. I always had a healthy "beer gut" too, even as a kid.
If I follow that diet now, I get horrendous gut aches, headaches, irritable bowels including bloody stools, fatigue & the list of health problems goes on.
Ultimately a lack of nutrition due to irritable bowel & celiacs could result in leukemia & an early death
Since changing my diet to gluten free, I can eat regularly without irritation or feelings off sudden hunger (at times this could be crippling), I have normal stools, no headaches, regular sleep patterns...& most of all I'm happy.
I have also dropped to a healthy 70kg down from a peak of 91kg, in the space of about 6 months. This weight is perfect for my body mass index.
I'm finally healthy.
I think you're right.
Wheat has undergone modification such that you're not eating the same wheat your parents and grandparents did.
Steven Geigle Exactly. It's up to individuals to make the right choices though.
Genetically Engineered Foods causes gluten intolerance. They are engineered to be able to resist being sprayed with RoundUp, and everything but the wheat, soybean, etc. The industrialization of food is slowly killing us!
GodGunsGutsandNRA No shit!!!
What foods did you start eating on when you take away the grains? This is interesting. Thanks!
10:39 wheat proteins:
11:35 Gluten - -> Ciliac
11:44 Glidin --> Opiates, Bulimia, Bipolar, binge eating disorder
Very true, I become underweight and weak and had fibromyalgia from eating this devil alterated food
Great book. ❤ Saved my sanity when i was first diagnosed with gluten (& dairy) intolerance.
6 days ago I quit wheat and I thought I got a bad flu. I did some research before that decision. So NOW I watch this guy say that it was just withdrawal symptoms.
Horrible headaches for 6 days. Worse headaches I have ever experienced. Lost 10lbs in 2 weeks.
This is interesting I’m currently ill and it shows up positive on a Covid test but I’ve been gluten and dairy free for 5 days
This is really good... Find when I am off Gluten and Wheat I feel so much better!
Ive been Gluten Free for 6 weeks. My growling stomach is gone and digestive issues are mostly gone and so is my joint pain....i went GF on my own advice to try to figure out my situation.
I am gluten and wheat free for a month now and I see huge improvements in my psoriasis skin as well as it cleared up most of my flaky scalp too, as a bonus my joint pains as result from this autoimmune disease has completely gone. Couldn't believe it as I literally tried every diet and ointment on the planet. I am aware of the fact that this would not help everyone, but I am sure that wheat and gluten are a no-go zone for me. I feel so much fitter and healthier. I wonder what happens after a year if even after one month of gluten free is already so powerful.
I stopped gluten and I have zero pain in my body. Holistic and Naturopathic doctors are the ones who are doing all the research and bringing these findings to light and then regular doctors finally figure it out. Healthcare is changing because people are no longer okay with treating symptoms and not the root cause of diseases. Doctors have been ruled by pharmacy companies and healthcare entities for profit over actual helping people heal their bodies and cure diseases
Thanks dr. William my intestine does not suffer anymore. Im feeling strong and I have no constipation any more. Wooow life is wonderful.
I think wheat wasn't a problem 50 years ago. Today wheat has been bred to increase gluten, the chromosome count is up much higher than in the past. Also now with all the Pesticides which swell the gut and is found in wheat, it's causing so many problems. It's a crime what theses chemical companies have done to our food, to our health.
He's saying that wheat was never ok. Just in the last 40-50 years it has gotten so much worse.
@lynne3989 well, I'm almost 70 years and I should know by having eaten it since the 1950's how it has changed for me in my lifetime
He knows what he's talking about, a very smart man indeed.
For the unbeliever, how about give up the gluten for one month and see how ur body react to it.And then reintroduce it back.Your body will never lie to you.Stop being ignorance and said something like "human being has been consumed wheat for million of years".That just outright dumb
Good on ya, doc...spread the word, the children will wake up...one day...
I found out I had a gluten allergy in 2016 with a blood test. My symptoms were all respiratory, even though I was tested for asthma and tested negative. Most symptoms were in my throat - constant "throat clearing" to the point I couldn't even hold a conversation. Doctor said I had acid reflux and prescribed Nexium, but I found that hard to believe the onset would be so bad. I never filled the prescription. He then decided to test me for food allergies and gluten allergy was positive. I'm not always compliant with a gluten-free diet, but after seeing this video I will be strict. I would love to know what Dr. David thinks of Einkorn wheat though.
Thr truth will win every time.
Be wise and try it yourself! Experience is the best teacher. I had recently been suffering from thyroid issues and a skin rash issue that didn't heal for over a year. I went to a year of immunotherapy allergy shots with no improvement, a dermatologist, with no relief, and then began looking for other options. I figured that giving up gluten for a season was a small sacrifice to test this doctor's hypothesis. I went farther though, I also gave up all GMOs and sugar, all meat, only consuming non-GMO foods and organic fruits and veggies. In two weeks, ALL of my "allergy" symptoms cleared up. My brain fog has lifted and my energy levels are through the roof. AMAZING!!! This is going to be a permanent lifestyle change for me. For all the naysayers, one can deny a truth based on personal ideologies, but not personal experience.
Rebecca Toruno Your symptoms sound like coeliac's disease.
Rebecca Toruno What was your diet like?
Rebecca Toruno :
I’ve been off wheat for a week today- cutting off pastas and breads (which I eat every single day) and avoiding everything that has wheat in the ingredients.
I’m eating rice and potatoes in place of them, and my meals have become far more filling and spaced apart (because they aren’t as quick to make as the prior two are)
Besides feeling really hungry for the first 5 days, I feel really light and energetic and today I found myself getting mildly hungry at around 3 pm- even though I skipped breakfast.
I don’t have celiac disease, I just decided to do this to see if my body feels better and if I have any allergy to wheat.
It’s a lot easier than I thought it would be, I’m surprised by what the doctor is saying.
Rice also has a gluten-like protein in it that many people are sensitive to. Many supplements and medications use wheat, rice or corn starch as a binding agent.
Since the last 2 years I cut out sugar, grain, rice, wheat I am feeling much better....
bayu martawardaya im doing this now
What the hell is grain?
What are you eating then?
+shaima
i know right. the only thing left it seems is meat and diary lol

I have had chronic pain for over 30 years. Doctors have been NO help to me. They just did test after test, and gave me drug after drug. It has been a nightmare. I am going to go gluten free and see what happens.
Update: I have been wheat free about 9 days. I have lost 3 pounds, I feel more awake and clearer, less hungry, fewer cravings, and I think my pain is lower. It is hard to tell. I went thru a bit of a withdrawal where it was worse. I feel great and I am going to keep this up. Oh, and my gut is much more comfortable. The rest of my diet is very good and I am already a vegan.
Great to hear! I'm about to try this also gluten free.
listen to your bodies. if your body doesn't like something it will tell you. hence you get sick. moderation is also the key. everyone's body is different some people can tolerate rubbish others cannot.
Tahnn Ju wheat and oats are perfect for me and family. All very healthy. Added sugar is rubbish though, avoid at all costs
Yes you ca also take arsenic in small doses(moderation) for a ling time before it finally kills you.
for me; moderation doesn't help... elimation is what I HAVE TO DO...or cannot breath!
Moderation is a poor excuse to eat garbage!!!
After struggle with my IBS .i stopped eating wheat . feel much better .thanks Dr
It's not just wheat, it's the GMO wheat. There is not natural organic Wheat anymore... Thanks to Monsanto.
I’ve also got IBS & on a gluten free diet & feel so much better for it
I had heart attack at 55. I am thin fit. Doctor says there is nothing I can do. I stopped wheat and my intestine work better. Heartburn gone. My parents did not have early heart disease. My husband's blood pressure went down off wheat.
lol I was in the hospital for a month for “symptomatic Crohn’s disease”. I was convinced that I had IBS/IBD….1 month without any bread/grains and I gained so much energy, no brain fog, no apathy, and healthy BM’s. I only eat 2 meals/day between 10am-6pm…no ravenous hunger between then.
William Davis really explains it so good.. I ate already almost no grain products, but now I'm completely off for sure!
he's scaring the shit out of me and the stress is killing me more than anything else...
so try his advice and see if you don't feel better. Good luck.
@@sandracoleman5888 In fact.. I did. It worked and now I'm setting up a nutritional therapy practise.
I have been a vegetarian for 50 years and ignored the gluten free, wheat free movement, what an eye opener!!
I dont know if it's gluten or wheat, but when I eat bread I get the WORST Indigestion of my life for several hours(6+)
He never mentioned dairy or lactose intolerance. I'm surprised because that too can cause digestive issues for many folks.
I have been on 4 Blood Pressure medication since i was 34. My blood pressure is still high when i miss a day of medication but my sugar and cholesterol levels were really good. I baffled my Doctor. Many tests and scans failed to point out the cause of the high BP. When i turned 51 this year i decided to give up Gluten and Sugar and after two weeks , my BP dropped to 117/72 for the first time. I decided to skip my medications for two days and my BP was even better 112/70. I bought a new BP monitor just to make sure it was correct and it's still below 117/75 everyday. I should have done this 21 years ago instead of popping pills. ''You are indeed what you eat''. My body has been fighting the poisons i have been putting into it , hence my high BP from the age of 32. I haven't felt this good in a long time.
Yup.. I was exposed to gluten after being GF for 6 months and bam joint pain, bloating, diarrhea.. crazy!
Yep! Worst mistake ever- splurge on vacation
I had terrible rashes, that would bleed, pop up all over my body. Nothing I took or applied made it go away, it just caused other issues. My joints ached, my legs, feet and hips would hurt so much, I couldn’t sleep. I went gluten free and within 2 weeks, my rash was gone(it had been there for two years), my feet, legs, hips and joints stopped hurting. I honestly thought I had MS, fibromyalgia or something of that nature.
If you accidentally eat gluten how long does it take for your symptoms to appear and then disappear?
This has really opened my eyes wow 😳 Thank you Dr Davis 👍
I was tested for allergies back in the 80s. The top two were WHEAT and SOY.
Any commercially prepared food product has those items in them. Check the label.
I respect this guy and I respect and strongly advocate a gluten-free diet (wheat, rye, spelt, barley free). That being said I think it's a bit of a cop-out to say all grains are bad. We essentially eat the seeds of grain plants so saying that is bad is comparable to saying eating nuts from trees or seeds from things like sunflowers or pumpkin seeds is bad.
Seeds and nuts have toxins to prevent ingestion to protect the plant’s ability to reproduce. I’m most familiar with almonds with oxalates because I cracked 2 teeth and had horrific joint inflammation. Thankfully I ran across Dr Ken Berry’s channel over a year ago, eat ketovore (less than 20 grams of carbs a day) completely healed, lost my fatty liver problem and 45 pounds. Have painlessly maintained the loss (because I am healthy now) for 8 months.
Sally K Morton is the oxalate expert and has a website. For your health’s sake I pray you keep an open mind and check out Dr Berry.
I absolutely love Dr. Davis however one thing he said in his discussion did not ring true to me, going off of sugar most certainly DOES give you similar effects of going off of wheat. I know this all too well personally from weening myself off of sugars (stopping cold turkey years ago) first, before I ever thought to get rid of wheat and all seeds of grass, due to issues with Candida and I can say 100% it is just like going off a low grade drug, with all of the 'fun' symptoms included. I am surprised he says this because he is a doctor and an advocate to not eat sugars, as mentioned in his books. I would think he would understand the dopamine release that happens in the brain when we eat sweets, and all the other similar wheat/sugar similarities. I really think he should collaborate with Dr. Lustig the crusader of a sugar free world and teach America and the world how to eat. Doctor Lustig mentions in his documentary 'toxic sugars' that the Paleolithic diet is a terrific way to cure type 2 diabetes. This lifestyle includes both a no sugar and no seeds of grass way of life. - Just food for thought. If two powerhouses like Dr. Davis and Dr. Lustig united with their factions of followers, I for-see wonderful things happening for the world of healthy eating, as Hippocrates said, "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
I was just thinking this about sugar. When I stop drinking soda I get all those symptoms
ExpeditionGoodLife well said 👍
He was saying when you quit sugar, doesnt mean you stop eating wheat produce.
If you think you react to gluten - even if your blood tests came back negative to celiac - try cutting out gluten for at least 6 weeks anyway.
I was tested several times on celiac and it always came back negative.
Got diagnosed with IBS-D and put on medication.
After trying out a glutenfree diet myself it turned out I react to gluten and am now free from all my horrible IBS symptoms.
I heard that story many times now. Some people react to gluten without having celiac disease.
I stopped Saturday & sunday 27- 28 april 2019 with eating bread. Pain disappeared from my stomach. My stomach feels good. Let me see how much weight I will lose within 1 month. I shall buy your book Dr Williams
Cleared up my Eczema and Leg Numbness in just a few days. Also lost weight as an added bonus.
really
I used to have cravings all the time. Now I don’t and felt this difference within 2 days of skipping all gluten and dairy out of my diet. You also naturally start taking less sugar coz most of sugar is consumed either through dairy products or wheat.
He's fantastic...so informative.. Love how he talks on gliaden.
Just a knock out. What a speaker.
Buckwheat porridge made from buckwheat groats is great with Stevia and sea salt along with almond milk for breakfast. Soaks the groats 2 times in boiling water and leave overnight to soften and cuts the cooking time down to 15 mins and then blend just a tiny bit and add in almond milk, salt and Stevia. Buckwheat pasta is gluten free too!
I make muffins with Buckwheat or Almond flour sweetened with Xylitol.
Getting wheat out of my diet solved some problems, but I didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms when I quit eating it.
If you were to accidentally eat gluten how long do your symptoms last?
Absolutely shocking!... I'm reading this book ASAP.
if you don't eat wheat or grains and if white rice and potatoes its high glycemic it hurts ALC so what do i eat wall paper
Very informative. Not sure if I'm buying the entire 'all grains are evil' idea, but I'm on board with ditching wheat. I've felt the effects firsthand (diminished pain, skin rashes, and GERD), and love the increased energy. Still love my other grains like GF oats, rice, corn and potatoes, but I've definitely cut down how much breads have dominated my diet.
Grains aren't evil but the bad in them out weigh the good. That's not even open to debate.
Most gluten come from wheat, rye, oats, and barley.
@@edmondpottle1181 oats, not so much gluten but I go organic to be sure there’s no glyphosate or wheat by products. The rest you listed, I definitely cannot do. My comment is 4 years old and since then I’ve discovered I’m allergic to gluten, thankfully not a celiac reaction but mild anaphylaxis is still nothing fun. Rice, quinoa, and organic oats are my go to grains but constitute a much smaller portion of my diet than fruits, veggies, and proteins
@@OhTylerB yes very easy to go out of balance and become a ‘breadatarian’ lol. This comment is 4 years old but I still feel similarly now as I did then. I cannot do gluten in any form as I’m allergic but I do organic oats, quinoa, and rice. Some corn too, albeit in a lesser amount than the typical American diet. Those grains I won’t reduce any more than I have as I’ve not noticed any ill effects with the amount that I eat. I try not to eat anything from the gluten-free section either as that’s loaded with sugars, which I feel is the larger problem with grains as a whole. My blood sugar and cholesterol is fine however so I’m not worried about my current diet. At least not until the holidays roll around and gluten laden foods are everywhere 😆 always keeping an eye out for metabolic changes though. No diets I’ve been on has been a forever one
Same, I ditched wheat and feel better, but other grains don't bother me.
shall try this theory on myself for one month before starting on my patients
amr hamdy does it help ?
Did you try it?
I’ve been diagnosed with IBS a few years ago but recently my IBS has been really bad lately. As soon as I went on a gluten free diet, ive not had a bad stomach since
I've had digestive issues my whole life. Also felt lack of energy, was called lazy most of the time, and was overweigth. My mind would get very foggy and confused sometimes and my mood was terrible. I also developed psoriasis at age 11. After every meal I would take a 3 hour nap from being so tired. Finally realized I was a celiac or allergic to gluten, after 21 years of struggling with mental and physical health. Now it all makes sense, the food pyramid is a sick joke to make more money, a win-win for the food and drug industries. I've only been gluten and wheat free for about 3 days and already feel so much better with a lot more enegy, no napping or bad mood. I wish my family members followed me on this new change but because of the "gluten" label on wheat they believed that to be the only problem when its actually all of the components of wheat together. Once I get healthier and better I hope they believe me and follow suit. Thank you for this information, it is life changing!
Did you cut out all grains including rice?
Not saying you don't have it or anything, but if you have Celiac disease then it's because of a placebo that you feel better after just 3 days. Celiac damages your intestines and takes months if not years to heal on a gluten free diet. There days wouldn't make any difference whatsoever to 90% of the typical no symptoms. It's more likely that you have gluten sensitivity which is less severe, though still not fun.
Last year I cut out all foods. After seven weeks, I feel no pain at all.
So basically you died? Hope the spirit realm treat you well.
@@dba4292 haha
We need more info on what we can eat and learn from experts on gluten and grains to optimise health. Interesting blog where I learnt that just a little bit won’t hurt - my mantra when eating out which can be a nightmare for gluten sensitive diners. Thanks 😊
Great stuff, I've recently starred looking in to this stuff and the dangers of bread are really mind boggling
Sugar is also a killer. I have been off it for 2 weeks now and my energy has been more stable, and my eye sight improved and I dropped 2lbs in 2weeks. No wonder people in the USA suffer with obesity. Its the wheat and sugar combo. Now I also gave up grains and suagr a while back for about 8 months and my life changed in many ways, from memory to energy and sleep, I sorta felt like a super hero. Well I slipped back into life long old ways.... but now im deciding that feeling like crap all the time sucks and I know what to do to get out of it. So just here to remind myself in something I already believe in.
Xylitol taste and looks like sugar but is natural and healthy.
good for you. The same thing happened to me. It helps me to listen to the experts. They keep me on track.
Thank you so much for this information, this is monumental and life changing 100%. Thank you!!!
The AIP diet worked for me...stopped my inflammation and arthritis almost immediately. I miss grains so now I'm looking at wheat alternatives like sorghum.
sorghum isn't good at all either.
Wheat puts your body is an acidic state I wish he talked more about this.
Spelt is alkaline 💪
Dr. Sebi’s been preaching the same thing in layman’s terms for since the 80’a 🤷🏾♂️
ok, ok, I apologize🙏 you all convinced me to try, thank you for opening my eyes❣️
How are you feeling now?
Take the gluten challenge, they've not told us the truth and when we took our girl off of wheat she excelleddddd' too but wow Jorgia' clear as a bell, better look out mama bear Jorgia just may take over this channel completely! ❤😂
