Comments on: Tips From “Food Rules” – Michael Pollan’s New Book & Going Gluten-Free http://redpillparents.com/?p=158 conscious parenting starts with conscious living Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:54:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Louisa http://redpillparents.com/?p=158&cpage=1#comment-40 Louisa Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:05:50 +0000 http://redpillparents.com/?p=158#comment-40 I wholeheartedly agree with this post - gluten yes, should be off limits, but have you tried raw (unpasteurized) milk? I believe that this is possibly the missing connection. Wed drink 10 litres a week and have done for the past three years and my children are healthier than they have ever been. Lou x p,s, I think that all you need is number one from Michael Pollan's list above, but make that great-grandmother ;) I wholeheartedly agree with this post – gluten yes, should be off limits, but have you tried raw (unpasteurized) milk?

So, just a word of caution for those wanting to know if gluten-free is best for you. When you re-introduce gluten to your diet after trying the 2-4 week elimination diet, it is quite common for your body to react badly to it (after not having had to digest it for sometime), so you should look at the long term feeling of the reintroduction, not the immediate reaction. I have a 2 1/2 yr old who suffers from food allergies. His worst are Cashew nuts and green Kiwifuit (not gold ones). Lesser ones are egg and other nuts. We generally stick to Pollan's rules that you mentioned, but I have to say that it seems far easier to buy foods like this in New Zealand than in the US.
