@bellabop88 couldn't sleep at night because my tummy felt like a rock. I just thought, screw this I'm going GF without the diagnosis. I felt so much better after going on the GF diet. I recently had to go out to dinner a couple of times for a birthday- and I felt I couldn't just sit there and not eat anything and I broke my diet. I had the worst week of trying to sleep with that heavy rock feeling. So I know what my body is telling me, I need to stick with GF.

I've gone GF but I wasn't diagnosed properly with celiac disease. Just because I had to wait over 12 weeks to get a referral (in the UK). I am originally from Australia, so my doctor told me to get a endoscopy over in England (as I was heading over there). I didn't know that you had to wait so long to be seen. I had waited and when I finally had the appointment, the doctor had no idea why I was there- my notes weren't sent to him. So I was pissed off, was bloated, in major discomfort..

@TexasMom17 mhmm you speak the truth!!! I'm allergic to milk, and have eaten milk very rarely in my life and my doctor told me that I was probably deficient and it was all due to my lack of milk and SHE thought that was why im overweight (actually caused by meds that honestly did save my life as a teenager) I called BS and got tested. Perfect in everything except cholesterol which was on the high side of normal. I told the doctor to kiss my fat ass.

@faylinameir Unfortunately, the 40% that gets removed includes the bran and the germ of the wheat grain—its most nutrient-rich parts. In the process of making 60% extraction flour, over half of the vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber are lost.

[faylinameir]

The health benefits of wheat depend entirely on the form in which you eat it. These benefits will be few if you select wheat that has been processed into 60% extraction, bleached white flour. 60% extraction—the standard for most wheat products in the United States, including breads, noodles and pastas, baked goods like rolls or biscuits, and cookies—means that 40% of the original wheat grain was removed, and only 60% is left.

lacking calcium? eat some dark leafy greens! "lack in fortified vitamins" you know what, If you're depending on fortified foods to get all your vitamins and minerals you're not healthy in the first place. I think the doctor they found is an idiot.

b1 - beans of any kind

b2 - soy, liver, milk products, spinach, etc (wheat is nowhere on the top 10 list for b2 fyi)

b3 - meat

b5 - corn avocados mushrooms

b6 - seafood/poultry

b12- liver / meat

look it up seriously =\

Obviously, this is an OLD interview. The doctor in the interview is an absolute QUACK. I hope, in the past two years, he has changed his "opinions."
