Do either of you happen to know if there is any low lectin grains that I
can still use for breads. Or said another way, breads I can purchase that
are low lectin?
Okay,
Here’s a great article on lectins, what they are and how to avoid them.
This guy encourages a low-lectin diet, by rotating small amounts that your
body can take, in with mostly raw foods. (his idea)
The way to destroy the lectins is to eat fermented and sprouted foods. So
you can have your grains, as long as you sprout or ferment them – as in
fermented barley.
Since you’re probably WAY overwhelmed with stuff to do, you could start by
buying Essene bread, or other sprouted breads. They’re good – not what
you’re used to, but you can get, for example, sprouted english muffins to
have warm garlic bread. I used to have it in the broiler with coconut oil
and garlic powder. mmmm
They have other sprouted bakery products, too, can’t remember them all. But
go for those to start!
You can also sprout just about any grain and make it into bread – don’t
know if you want to do that yet. You basically soak the grain for a day,
sprout it for a day, then grind and dehydrate it to make a flour.
