Comment on Organic wheat is wheat with lipstick and still poison by nadia

This is fascinating. I am digging into health lately in many ways. For myself, and hopefully for my family in a gentle way. I like to stick to easy healthful food, which has led me to stick to wheat for myself and my family. But this article is very thought provoking. I may experiment with going wheat-free myself for a stretch and see how I feel. Wondering what are my alternative sources of B vitamins? i know, I know, there are surely plenty out there. I’ll just have to think outside the American culture box.

Thank you for a very thoughtful article on wheat.

I don’t have a diagnosis of celiac disease, chrones disease, or IBS. I can tell you that after a wheat filled meal (whole wheat, full grain wheat, bread, pasta, matzoh — any wheat) I get sleepy tired, and the next day, my shoulders ache — feeling like sand is in the joints, my fingers and wrists are swollen, my lower back aches like I have ripped a disc, my knees hurt and are swollen and weak, and I can barely move. Even my ankles are affected, and under ‘normal wheat free’ circumstances, I do not have ankle or shoulder pain. My abdomen inflates like I swallowed a watermelon balloon. My ears hurt, and they get extra waxy. I have replicated this “in vivo” experiment enough times to validate the “factuality and inevitability” of serious body pain after wheat ingestion. If I don’t have more wheat, the pain lasts about 3 days. Before I made the wheat connection, I would get cortisone injections in my back and shoulders. I do have arthritis, spondylosis and stenosis which comes with their own pain, but this pain has become manageable through various techniques (if I don’t do something physically stupid). NOTHING I HAVE TRIED has managed “Wheat Pain” or made “Wheat Pain” go away. Wheat is a pervasive commodity that can act as a filler in almost any food. Sugar Free — Fat Free Red Vines candy has wheat. Vegan foods have wheat. Beer can have wheat.

My daughter bloats up from wheat, and gets congested with phlegm in her throat and blockage in her ears. She lost major weight, and her perennial stuffy nose without bread. She had described herself as a “bread addict.” Neither me or my children has “tested positive” on a hospital-given allergy test for “wheat.” We were told, “off the record” that we may have a wheat sensitivity–which would not show up as “allergy.”

So, my next question was “How much wheat can I tolerate?” Is a tortilla enough? Is a slice of cheese-free pizza too much? Is Lavash or Ezekiel bread safe?

I can tolerate about three wheat tortillas or about half of a wheat Pita, without suffering major side effects the next day. I may have symptoms, but they are under the pain threshold.

My conclusion? My life is much better without wheat consumption. It is “Gluten Free for ME”

Comment on ARE YOU A SENSITIVE SUZIE? by Michelle

Thank you so much for this! I, too, work with Highly Sensitive People, helping them to master energy management and their intuition so they can take charge of their lives and use these powerful tools. I appreciate the awareness you are creating here and the reframe which is my passion, recognize your gifts and get out into the world and use them. Yet, you know, as I do, that so many HSP’s are holding themselves back. Great resource. I have passed it on.

Hi, Kate,
Great article! I never realized I was a highly sensitive individual. But I always knew I was super sensitive to caffeine and, after running a full day workshop, it was painful to have to go out to dinner with my team mates. I wanted to go to my hotel room and be by myself. I would often beg out of the “dinner ritual”.

Thanks for making me feel included in this great group of people!
Sue

Dr Kate, I appreciate your sharing your beautiful experience with me. It is honest, insightful, positive, life affirming and plain ol cool. I will take it with me, and reflect on it when I need to be reminded of what truly matters, and to never compromise myself nor my beliefs. There is joy in every experience, and as I slowly feel what that feels like I will slowly move into my new awareness. Thank you Miss Kate!

PS I have a few peeps of my own. Yes those, as you so eloquently stated, “those who do not make it about them, or get triggered by my suffering”, giving me space to be and not try to change anything. I hold on to those peeps.
