They are not actually "gluten intolerant" at all. Their body is rejecting the highly refined, nutrient depleted grains that are sold to the masses today.<br /><br />In past posts I have mentioned that I mill my own grain. See the following blog post. The part about the grain mill and using whole grains begins halfway down the page.<br /><br /><a href="http://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/peace-is-being-removed-from-earth.html" rel="nofollow">http://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/peace-is-being-removed-from-earth.html</a> <br /><br />May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.Joseph Herrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729899526301330525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-70773189118137676342014-05-10T03:17:19.033-04:002014-05-10T03:17:19.033-04:00I am glad that you were blessed with a new compute...I am glad that you were blessed with a new computer! After reading the comment section, I have something I feel I should share about the grains of today, because I have also been concerned about "fad diets." Also with the real difference in my health while off grains and on them versus what the Bible has to say about them. Why do simple pastas and breads affect my health detrimentally when the Bible says grains, and bread are healthful foods?<br /><br />Then I learned that the grain we eat today is fundamentally different from the grain of the Bible or even that of 50 years ago. Maybe the Lord has not called you to stop eating gluten. I have not been called to either, I simply notice a significant difference in health and weight when I do refrain from it. However the problem for many people is not gluten or grains. It's that modern wheat is not the the same wheat that the Lord created for our consumption. Thus, it causes health and weight problems that were unheard of in Biblical times. <br /><br />Here is a link to a little bit of information, if you feel inclined to take a look: <br /><br />http://www.grainstorm.com/pages/modern-wheatAzyalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298354344281698759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-23741303630938532092014-05-07T08:20:47.876-04:002014-05-07T08:20:47.876-04:00Hello Michelle,
Thank you for the affirming words...Hello Michelle,<br /><br />Thank you for the affirming words about numbers. I have often recommended E.W. Bullinger's book "Number in Scripture" as a resource for those wanting to know the divine significance of numbers. You can find this book posted freely on the web. It should not be considered a comprehensive book, for numbers often bear multiple meanings, and Bullinger does not address every number in his book. What he does cover, however, he does an excellent job on.<br /><br />Thank you also for your prayers regarding my ruling over my appetite for food. Yahweh told me some years back to cut out fats and sugars, and doing so has made a big difference. Until about ten years ago I was very much a meat eater. Fruits and vegetables were a minor part of my dietary intake. Now the situation is reversed. I eat very little meat and find that I really don't miss it.<br /><br />I do use meat for flavoring, such as using a smoked turkey drumstick for seasoning a pot of beans, or for flavoring in split pea soup. I am eating much more legumes. They are an excellent source of protein when a person is not eating much meat.<br /><br />I have not sensed the Lord leading me to avoid gluten. I know this is quite popular today, especially with the emphasis on low carbohydrate diets. The Bible, however, reveals that grains were a major part of mankind's diet, and eating grains is portrayed in a very favorable light throughout the Scriptures. Christ is even called "the Bread of life." The Feast days of Yahweh incorporated grains as a part of their rituals.<br /><br />I believe that grains have garnered such a bad reputation in Western cultures because of the ways in which they are prepared. If a person starts out their day with doughnuts deep fried and covered in sugar, it is not the grain that is hurting them. It is the fats and sugars added to it. The same is true for cereals, various pastries, and the highly refined, nutrient deprived breads sold in the stores. They are stripped of fiber and other essential elements, and then combined with many things that are not healthy.Joseph Herrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729899526301330525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-56131933753318195902014-05-06T22:24:42.835-04:002014-05-06T22:24:42.835-04:00Thank you for a very timely post.

Do you have a good resource on biblical meaning of numbers? Maybe I am just not listening very well, and if I gave YHWH the time, He'd lead me to the answer. <br />I will pray for your appetite. I would encourage you to get off all gluten, sugar, caffeine, and everything processed. Eat a lot of vegetables, small amount of fruit, moderate protein (of high quality), and healthy fats: coconut oil, Ghee, olive oil.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728534775038426502noreply@blogger.com
