I am so happy to hear that you are creating a new awareness for yourself to assist in your journey to health and wellness. Gluten is such a challenge for a high percentage of our population and this does lead to challenges with digestion, immune system function and plays a major role with your adrenals. Once the adrenals are challenged, this functional affects almost the whole of your being.

Dr. Jonny will be releasing an article soon that address the adrenals and please let us know if we can assist you further.

If gluten intolerance is a challenge for you, I must say that it will not matter if the bread is sprouted or not. Sprouted bread is definitely better than most other breads but still of limits if it contains gluten. If you are gluten intolerant of course.

There is a gene within many of us, that when activated begins that challenges with gluten intolerance. This gene is typically activated by some type of stress, whether it is physical, mental or emotional. For others that are more sensitive the gluten intolerance does not need this activation.

I’m with Jonny in agreeing that your fiber pills made from psyllium husk will be gluten free so you are OK.

If you go to http://www.DepkeWellness.com and click on the “Gluten Intolerance” link, you can scroll to the bottom to get a complimentary list of gluten foods in categories. This is very helpful for most.

Just wanted to let you know that “acidulated water” is water that has a little vinegar or lemon juice squeezed into it. It’s often recommended when cooking certain vegetables such as artichokes or for sliced raw apples to prevent discoloration.

I’m tempted to say you might be overthinking it. I have no idea what acidified water is. I’m a much more “low-tech” guy when it comes to this stuff. Our paleolithic ancestors ate nuts and berries, nuts are good, soaking them overnight might make them marginally better, but beyond that i think it becomes a very very tiny issue of no real importance in the overall scheme of things. That’s just my opinion- we all have only so much energy to spend fighting the food battles, and to me, if you’re removing things like factory farmed meat and sugar from your diet you’re fighting the big battles, and any tiny tiny improvement in some obscure measurment of value that might be gained by “acidifying” the water just doesn’t seem = at least to me– like worth the trouble. Of course i could be wrong about this, but so far i’ve never come across any information that has made me want to learn how to do this! If you do come across some, i’d be more than willing to listen and to change my mind, but so far I’m just eating my plain old nuts and when i remember, I’ll put ‘em in water overnight. However i’ve also found that when you eat them really fresh, they’re so “melt-in-your-mouthy” that you don’t even need to soak them

Do you have any articles or websites you know of that can really explain all this stuff? The only thing i’ve found is this from Weston A. Price ..
http://www.westonaprice.org/Be-Kind-to-Your-Grains…And-Your-Grains-Will-Be-Kind-To-You.html

But it doesn’t really give instructions on how to do it. Maybe i’m making it more complicated than it should be.. but i just wanna know.

P.S. Cant wait to buy your ” Healthiest meals on earth”!

Anyways this may be a tad off topic, but whats your thought on soaking grains, and nuts?? I had never heard that before until i read it on Westonaprice.org. Do you have any information on that? They say it gets rid of phytates(?) or something. I’m 19 years old and have never heard of that in my life. I used to eats Oats raw or just cooked on the stove but now i’m unsure if that’s such a good idea. Thanks for any information that you may have!!

thanks, will

It is most certainly not a stupid question and actually there ARE no stupid questions! Psyllium Husks- or PaleoFiber, or any of the fiber supplements- don’t contain gluten, or if they do it’s a trace amount that should be unmeasurable if it exists at all. I’ve never in 20 years heard of anyone having a reaction to them.

Not sure if this is a stupid question or
not.

Along with my vitamins and minerals
supplements, I take fiber pills, to make sure
that I get more fiber every day because
my lifestyle right now does not
always lend itself to the best choices.

What about fiber and fiber pills
made from Psyllium Husk fibers?
Do they contain gluten?

Not sure if I am mixing up fiber with
the grain thing, but figured that you
would come up with an answer that
was a lot more credible than I could.

Thanks for everything

I used to feel very ill after consuming many fatty foods, like cheeseburgers, or biscuits covered with sausage gravy.

I blamed my discomfort on those evil fats in the burgers and the sausage, until some people on low-carb blogs told me to beware of the buns and the biscuits instead.

That led me to limit my carbs, and things improved somewhat, and eventually I was able to narrow my problem food list down further, to grains, breads, and cereals.

I’m still learning about gluten, but for me it seems to be really bad.
