Berries

[JLC]

Just wondering does the in ability to digest Blue berries or Strawberries have any thing to do with Gluten or Celiac problems?

[Ursa Major]

No, I don't think so. I can't tolerate berries either (extremely high in salicylates), but it is an issue not directly connected to celiac disease.

JLC,

I'd be lost without my blueberries and strawberries. I only eat 4 fruits mainly because of the low sugar content. The berries provide much antioxidant activity and bind with mycotoxins. If one has trouble with them it may be to leaky gut issues caused by gluten or parasites (macroand microscopic).

Heal the gut and then try a few at a time. I have mine frozen so they keep well and are not filled with so much chemical because they will be frozen quickly after harvesting.

all fresh fruit is fine and gluten free. The problem comes wiht some of it that is dried. It can be coated with wheat starch as well as sulphur.

cant go wrong with fresh berries~!

Jewi,

Anything that ends in ---berry is low sugar fruit. I happen to like the blueberries and strawberries the best and they are the most available in frozen so they do not spoil. Granny smith apples if you can tolerate them.. I didn't at first but now I do... with some almond or cashew butter on the slices. Yum. Tomatoes... & grapefruit (I like the red ones as they are sweeter).
