Wow – I am quickly putting pieces of this puzzle together and they all point to Genetically Modified Wheat, Soy and Corn as the culprits! Every week someone I know tells me about their complications of “Autoimmune disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease and Diverticulitis.” The common factor in all of them, it’s destroying the intestines. My husband had Ulcerative Colitis for several months and Doctors could not help him. He finally figured out it must be his diet and he made drastic adjustments. It’s a shame that more Medial Doctors don’t consider or inquire about Diet. The most important thing you can do when you have stomach or intestinal issues, is to keep a food diary!
Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic disorder in which the mucous membranes lining the colon become inflamed and develop ulcers, causing bloody diarrhea, pain, gas, bloating and at times, hard stools. This causes the colon wall to bulge out into small pouch like projections called “diverticula”. With all the diarrhea and bleeding you lose much needed nutrients. You may experience bloating and weight gain, or weight loss depending on your body. There is currently no “known cause for this disease” however all signs point to GMO’s.
Crohn’s Disease is similar with a blockage of the intestine caused by scar tissue that narrows the passageway. It normally causes severe pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, loss of appetite and weight-loss. It can happen anywhere from the mouth to the anus. The onset of Crohn’s can be dramatic with sudden weight loss, high fever and significant bleeding.
These diseases all have many of the same symptoms. My Chiropractor told me to “Give up grain for a month” to see if I feel better. He also said the GMO wheat, corn and soy are the reasons for much of the health issues we are facing. I am in full agreement, because the first week I gave up all grain, I lost 8 pounds and my intestines healed up. I made a smoothie with Almond Milk, Yogurt, Ginger and 1/4 Cup of Aloe Vera Juice. It really soothed and healed my intestines within just a few days.
A friend of mine has Ulcerative Colitis and she said she is on a Gluten Free Diet (No Wheat, Barley or Rye). That would be very similar to my No Grain Diet. With a Gluten Free Diet some ancient grains like quinoa, amaranth and rice are allowed. Most of the Wheat, Soy and Corn grown in America is raised with Round-up Ready seed from Monsanto. It is Genetically Modified and Toxic for human consumption. However, since the FDA and Monsanto want to FEED THE WORLD, they continue to poison us with their GMO Feed.
I urge you to give up Grain for a month. That includes pizza, bread, cereal, pasta, baked goods, etc. It’s not easy, but it can heal your body and help you lose weight at the same time. Going Gluten-Free is not a Fad, it’s a lifestyle and it does not guarantee weight-loss.
