With whole grains being high in several vitamins and nutrients, many wonder why we'd want to eliminate this food group at all. This truth is, for most individuals, grains are a part of a healthy diet and provide essential nutrients which keep their bodies and minds strong.
However, whole grains can cause more harm than good for those with a grain sensitivity or allergy. If eating whole grains affects your overall gut health, you might be noticing an increase in inflammation, digestive problems and fatigue. If that's the case, then eliminating grains from your recipes could drastically improve your overall health.
In regards to refined grains, you'll want to avoid consuming too many refined grains no matter what diet you're following. Refined grains are essentially empty calories and don't provide your body with many nutrients. Instead, they are digested quickly and have a high glycemic index that can cause quick spikes in blood sugar, sending your body into a panic.
