What eating process flour and vegetable seaweed oils does to your body?

Welcome back to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. Some of my listeners might not know about me is that I actually do have a sweet tooth and I love to bake all kinds of cookies, cakes and treats.

But when it comes to common baking ingredients like process flour and seed oils, well, traditional flowers like all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour, you've got to stay away from these things.

They are made from wheat, which is one of the worst things for your body.

It contains multiple different lectins, including gluten.

And gluten is really disastrous, unfortunately, to so many people causing leaky gut.

And just because you've been told you don't have celiac disease, which is the extreme form of gluten intolerance, does not mean that you're not sensitive to the effects of gluten.

In fact, the vast majority of my patients with leaky gut are sensitive to gluten, yet they do not have celiac disease.

And there's been, unfortunately, a lot of misconception that the only way to measure whether you're sensitive to gluten is to look for celiac disease markers.

And that's absolutely not true.

So in general, stay away from wheat, which contains gluten, stay away from rye and barley, which contain gluten.

Interestingly enough, corn flour, 70% of my patients who react to gluten, react corn as if it was gluten.

And oats, even if oats say gluten-free, there is a protein in oats that cross-reacts with gluten.

And so many of my patients eating their gluten-free oats, it's this protein in oats that's still a trigger for them.

Okay, so what do you use instead of that?

Well, there are plenty of substitutes in place of these lectin-loaded flowers.

For cookies, almond flour and coconut flour and xantham gum make great, tasty, good mouthfeel cookies.

Cakes, you can also use almond flour and coconut flour.
