What Is Wrong With Corn, Soy, Dairy, Legumes...?

After reading a lot of the topics here, I have noticed a lot of people saying they have gone off, or suggesting others go off, corn, soy, dairy, and legumes...

Dairy I can understand because of lactose intolerance, but it seems even people who are not intolerant are giving it up. And why corn, soy, and legumes..?

I actually thought legumes (isn't that like lentils?) were supposed to be very good for you...?

:unsure:

All the things you mention can be very good for you - if you are not intolerant of them, that is. Many of us do develop other food intolerances, particularly before we are able to heal our leaky guts (caused by gluten) which let larger particles of other food protein into the blood than would normally pass through the intestinal barrier.

Dairy is pasteurized thus potentially causing problems for many. When I switched to raw dairy I no longer had problems. That's just me though. I have good cows and a good farmer. Not saying that will be the case for everyone. It is expensive to get raw dairy but worth it for me. It has helped tremendously.

Corn and soy are so heavily GMO now that there are many potential problems there as well. Soy is estrogenic and there are implications for difficulty there as well. It is the GMO component that is of most concern to me. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% of all con and in excess of 92% of soy in this country are GMO. This allows for the application of up to 86% more herbicide by farmers and is residual in the product. This can effect the stomach and lining of the intestines.. already a problem for those if us with celiac. Gut permeability issues also heighten this as a problem.

Legumes are high in lectins and those with gut permeability issues want to decrease gut permeability thus the need to avoid legumes.

From personal experience I can say that all grains cause problems for me. Cutting them all out was a necessary step to my regaining a considerable amount of good health and gut function. It also makes compliance to gluten-free much easier.

All, of course, IMHO.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
