This Food Halts Gluten-Free Diet Progress
Have you been gluten free for a while and still aren’t seeing progress/getting the results you hoped for? Corn might be the culprit!
When a person decides to embark on a gluten-free diet, he or she often looks for similar products to fill the void. Corn-based foods (i.e. tortillas, chips, cereal and polenta) are gluten-free and similar enough to satisfy those carb-y cravings. But it doesn’t necessarily make them healthier, unless of course you have Celiac Disease, an alternative autoimmune condition or have already identified a corn intolerance.
Corn is one of the top 5 inflammatory foods that’s linked to digestive issues, skin eruptions, bowel changes, weight gain and brain fog. It’s also a top genetically modified food–up to 93% of American-grown corn is GMO! Plus, it cross-reacts with gluten, so people who truly cannot tolerate gluten may not be able to tolerate corn and oats as well (another cross-reactive food).
Whether you experience obvious symptoms or are simply trying to lose weight on your gluten-free diet, eliminating corn may be the golden ticket. After all, this isn’t even a vegetable, it’s a starch. And most of the corn grown in the U.S. is fed to animals to FATTEN them up before slaughter!
Long story short: it’s 2021 and gluten-free products line the shelves at EVERY single grocery store. But just because they’re “gluten free” doesn’t automatically make them healthier.
