Avoid toxic wheat re-exposures

We learned years ago that, once you are wheat- and grain-free, re-exposures to any wheat or grains can provoke some awful re-exposure reactions.

Here, I discuss the range of unpleasant consequences that develop with wheat and grain re-exposure. Among the consequences of re-exposure are:

Gastrointestinal distress—discofort/pain, diarrhea, bloating
Joint pain—especially of the fingers, hands, wrists, and elbows, occasionally large joints
Mental/emotional effects—most commonly anxiety, anger, depression, irritability
Reactivation of autoimmune diseases
Hunger—re-exposure to gliadin-derived opioid peptides reactivates hunger, what I call the “I ate one cookie and gained 30 pounds” effect
Provocation of small LDL particles—that raise cardiovascular risk
Alterations in bowel flora—due to the many bowel toxins in wheat, as well as the amylopectin A that nourishes unhealthy bacterial species and fungi.

The key is to remember: Once you are wheat/grain-free, you should remain wheat/grain-free and avoid all the potential problems and unpleasantness associated with re-exposure.
