In 2012 when I started to investigate the possible connection of wheat and migraines, Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis might have been the first book I read. It convinced me that wheat is really not good for anyone, even for those who don't officially have celiac disease. I highly recommend reading this book cover-to-cover.Dr Davis also writes an informative blog and it is also worth your time. Start at the beginning (here) and page through each post where you will learn a wealth of information as well as read inspiring stories of improved health of people who have removed wheat from their diet. Dr Davis often answers questions in the comments section, so glance at those too. While his book and blog are titled Wheat Belly Dr Davis is generally opposed to all grains since they all raise insulin levels.
What kinds of problems does wheat cause? Here are just a few:
These Wheat Belly blog posts might whet your appetite to learn more about this modern version of the grain we call Wheat:
