Navigating the Gluten-Free Maze: When Freedom Doesn’t Taste Like Relief
Hey there Dr Charlene here and I want to talk in this video about giving up gluten and if you do and you’re trying to do this to support your Hashimoto what you should expect I see a lot of times on some of the groups that I’m in and then also in my own group that I run with members and even with my own patients in my clinic.
Where I might suggest that they give up glut because it really is damaging to the thyroid and they come back and say well I’ve done it for 2 weeks but I haven’t noticed any difference and there’s a few factors at play here and so one of the factors is that two weeks probably isn’t long enough and the bigger one is that you.
Might be going glutenfree and you’re not noticing a change from it because you’re still eating a bunch of garbage and I want you to take a moment and reflect is is this you and be honest with yourself because the person we lie to the most is ourselves and so get really.
Honest have you swapped gluten containing products for maybe gluten-free vers versions of the same crap it’s very possible take a look at your gluten-free Swap and see what ingredients are in there if it’s got a list of ingredients this long and you know that type is very tiny I have to put my reading glasses on to read most.
Packages these days if you’ve got that long list of ingredients it’s probably junk because when you make a steak with a side of broccoli that’s got two ingredients steak and broccoli and so if you’re going to buy like a gluten-free bread let’s say and it might have corn and tapioca flour and.
Almond flour and coconut flour all of these things are not necessarily unhealthy but then it’s like enriched and fortified with calcium and vitamin D and all these things that’s not natural we don’t go get a vitamin C or vitamin D ingredient out of the ground and put it into our biged to Goods so when you see that long list of ingredients especially.
If you can’t read or pronounce most of them that’s a red flag so are you eating like swapped junk and are you still eating just basic junk food are you shopping the perimeter of the grocery store or are you going to those inner aisles where everything in there is processed fake food I call it food like products it might fill up your.
Tummy for a little bit your body can extract a couple of nutrients out of it to keep you alive but it’s not real food it’s not actually nourishment so if you find yourself experiencing this where you have a chance to give up gluten and you do it for a little bit and it doesn’t seem to make an impact on your health or your.
Hashimoto then look at what else you’re eating are you continuing to eat processed garbage are you just swapping one horrible food ingredient for another list of potential inflammatory causes that’s what we’re really looking to do by reducing or removing the gluten is to reduce the inflammation in your body so if you just.
Swap something that creates inflammation for another thing that creates inflammation this isn’t going to be very helpful all right I hope this was helpful in answering your question about why you don’t feel any better by giving up gluten and it’s probably because you still have a bunch of inflammation and junk in there I am Dr Charlene and I run.
