Wheat: to eat or not to eat......

Those with coeliac disease need to cut it out, but a growing number of
healthy people claim they're also all the better for going gluten free.

Eat no wheat. That is the core, draconian commandment of a gluten-free diet,
a prohibition that excises wide swathes of popular foodstuffs - bread, pasta
pizza, cake and biscuits, to name but a few.

For the approximately one in 100 Australians who have a serious condition
called coeliac disease, that is an indisputably wise medical directive.

For sure you can't eat it if you have celiac. But you could have problems
with it for other reasons. Could be an allergy or intolerance. And some
people with arthritis notice a problem when they eat wheat or other foods.
So if it's a problem for you for whatever reason, don't eat it. Otherwise
it shouldn't be a problem.

"It is not a healthier diet for those who don't need it. [They] are
following a fad"

Pfft. It is my contention that a large amount of people don't realise
they have some degree of wheat intolerance. I went on a low carb diet
11 years ago and couldn't help but notice that I felt a lot better,
over time I narrowed it down to wheat being the cause of that 'blah'
feeling I used to get. I had a test done last year which confirmed
what I already knew - that I had a wheat intolerance.

I still eat wheat, only in moderation. Say, once a week I can indulge
myself and usually get away with it without consequences.

Humans have only been eating wheat and other grass seeds for about
10000 years, so it's still a relatively new addition to our diet.

I am actually probably eating *more* wheat now than I did before. Although
we had pasta and Rice A Roni (which includes pasta) at home, we didn't eat
much bread. Now I usually eat 2 slices of bread per day, 6 days a week.
Occasionally more. I did go gluten free along with my daughter when she was
first diagnosed with an intolerance and I felt no better. She did though.

You might be one of the lucky ones...
Still, I'd be mindful of diabetes and obesity on a diet high in wheat
- not that yours sounds particularly excessive.

It isn't high in wheat. I am diabetic and overweight/obese. Weight
fluctuates.

Looks like an interesting book.

Plenty of wheat or barley?

I get plenty of barley via my home brew, not sure what the
fermentation process does (if anything) to any bad attributes of
barley though. Can't say I've noticed anything myself (other than
getting sloshed
