THE DEAL WITH DAIRY AND GLUTEN
Dairy is one of the most inflammatory foods in our modern diet, second only to gluten. It causes inflammation in a large percentage of the population, resulting in digestive issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea, as well as other symptoms including acne, and a stronger presentation of autistic behaviors.
Gluten and dairy are by nature inflammatory (dairy may raise your insulin level even if you are not sensitive or allergic), If you still feel the need to have a form of dairy then goat and sheep’s milk are often better tolerated and contain different proteins that aren’t inflammatory.
Always be mindful as to what you eat and pay attention to your body. Remember that other foods can also cause sensitivities. Here are some of the most common reactions you can get from dairy and gluten:
Changes in your skin (acne, rashes, or eczema)
Changes in digestion or bowel function (bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, reflux)
Mood problems (depression, anxiety, anger, etc.)
Sleep problems
Nasal congestion
Headaches
Brain fog
Weight gain
Fluid retention
Joint aches
Muscle aches
Pain
Fatigue
Remember that every time you eat dairy or gluten, you are fueling the flames of inflammation in your body. Inflammation leads to disease and disease can lead to all sorts of chronic issues and even early mortality.
