Question 1

what are the proven advantages of eliminating wheat and dairy from the diet?

Accepted Answer

No wheat, no dairy: Some people have problems with the protein in wheat called gluten.  Others just need to cut down on their intake of simple carbohydrates.  Some people can't digest the sugar called lactose in milk.  Others don't tolerate the milk protein.  For most people the quantity is what's important.  Whole wheat is better than plain white. And milk for people &gt;2 years old should be 1% or skim.

Question 2

Question 3

diagnosed with ibs. on a no grain, dairy, wheat & fatty food diet. how will i get my daily nutrition? how can i curve my chocolate cravings?

Accepted Answer

Nutritionist : sorry that you're having such trouble with  IBS. That diet sounds like a quite strict diet. It is not the usual first step in dealing with IBS, and it will cause you difficulty getting adequate fiber to deal with your IBS. Did you adopt this diet on your own or is it suggested by a physician? Either way, a nutritionist can help to make sure that you take it in adequate nutrition. Good luck.

Question 4

how much/often should i drink probiotics if im eliminating wheat and dairy from my diet? i have an inflamation in my stomach and when i eat it hurts

Accepted Answer

Probiotic: Probiotics are usually dosed once a day, with a meal.  Make sure you have a brand that delivers active colonies to you.  If you have gastritis, the probiotic may not help that by itself.  I see you're on omeprazole. Hopefully your doctor has tested you for h pylori which is 1 cause of gastritis. Ulcers can also cause pain with meals, and shortly afterwards as well.

Question 5

is wheat really bad for you or is this just a new diet craze?

Accepted Answer

Too much is bad: Too much wheat is bad for everybody. There is also a small percentage of people that ate highly allergic to glutens and gliadins. These people must avoid all wheat. So yes, this is somewhat a fad.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Calories &amp; prote: The addition of calorie dense foods such as nuts, whole grain pastas, raisins, pure fruit juices, butter, avocado, and complex carbohydrates is a healthy way to add more calories to your diet.  Lean proteins are also important.    Good luck

Question 7

i'm just wondering, if you cut wheat from your diet do you actually lose any weight?
