Paula,

How about cutting out most grains anyway? That is what Dr. Wahls did and her MS disappeared, I've posted before about it. She also cut dairy, sugar...I think her only "grains" were oats (incredibly good for us) quinoa (just like rice but better and incredibly nutritious in terms of minerals, google it and see....red and black quinoa are more flavorful IMHO than the white), amaranth, she added rice back in later in moderation.

We have tried cutting wheat and it does make a difference. It is very hard to do, since we have been used to eating wheat in some form at most every meal....most breakfast cereals have wheat in them (or worse, corn, which is probably GMO unless organic), sandwich for lunch, rolls with dinner or something breaded, fried, etc. Now it's oats for breakfast every morning with some form of nut except the weekend, if kids complain, it's fruit w/w/out yogurt...you get the idea.

It IS hard to cut wheat back so much, but I will attest that we all feel better. Cutting the wheat and subsituting veggies as Dr. Wahls did is even better, a double win. It gets easier once you get used to it and after about a week, honestly, you don't crave that starchy bread at all anymore. You can have some, just not every day, and certainly not at every meal. Now when I see bread I feel hollow, and don't want it at all.

I am working now on incorporating quinoa into our diet more, it's a nutritional powerhouse. We substituted it for wheat in an online tabbouleh recipe and it was delicious, I never liked tabbouleh much but made with guinoa it was awesome.

The great thing is that with the internet, you can type in the main ingredient you want to use, and do a search to find ways to eat it. The quinoa is rinsed, and then cooked just like rice, in a 2:1 with water ratio. Then use it anywhere you would rice (which is actually not very nutritious to begin with) and see if you feel a difference.

Let us know if you cut back on wheat and how you feel.
