I think this is true for a limited subset of "you." I personally watched a friend adopt the "no-grain, etc." diet, and immediately drop 15lbs and mostly clear up his psoriasis. I, on the other hand, don't have psoriasis or 15lbs of extra weight from systemic inflammation; so I wouldn't expect to see similar benefits from dropping grains.
- deadmansshoes 16y agoIt would be more likely your friend has gluten intolerance - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis If this is the case then cutting down on cereals would be standard medical advice rather than a wonder effect of an unsound diet.
- khafra 16y agoI have a few other friends who'd experienced similar improvements in health just by cutting out wheat and the surprisingly many foods containing gluten. For the no-grains guy, this was insufficient.
- MikeOfAu 16y agoGrains injure and inflame the gut walls OF EVERONE. A cascade of negative effects follow. And, yes, those with celiac disease are particularly obviously effected.
- MikeOfAu 16y agoDropping grains will decrease gut inflammation. That has all sorts of benefits. Your friend had obvious symptoms which you don't, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't benefit, perhaps greatly. Give it a go for a month. See what happens.
