Many moons ago, before we started the SCD, oatmeal was the daily breakfast. This Grain Free Breakfast Oatmeal recipe has the taste and texture of oatmeal that will surely satisfy you!
How difficult it was to give that up that oatmeal! Now, after years of eating eggs for breakfast, we are ready for some variety.
The standard American diet breakfast is full of sugary, starchy, refined foods that promote carbohydrate dysregulation, obesity, insulin resistance, tooth decay, gum disease and metabolic syndrome – cancer and heart disease as well.
Gluten in grains causes an addiction to the feel-good comfort foods that Americans (and people all over the world) crave. Where does this craving come from?
When gluten is incompletely broken down into peptides, it forms certain types of opioid peptides called gluteomorphines. This can happen when leaky gut is present. As the name implies, these gluteomorphines bind to the opiate center in the brain.
It is common knowledge at this point that a large majority of autistic children react to gluteomorphines in gluten grain products, as a result of leaky gut. The casein protein in dairy also may get incompletely broken down and become an opioid peptide known as caseomorphine, which works in the same way as gluteomorphines.
As such, many autistic children do better on a gluten free/casein free diet – and they do even better on a strict grain free diet like GAPS.
As we know, opioids interfere with brain function, thought processes and creates foggy thinking. If you find it hard to stay focused and keep your concentration, it may be that gluten and/or dairy products are creating your foggy brain.
Additionally, opioids create cravings for more. When the effects of the food wears off, it’s time for more food!
Try this recipe instead! I think let me know how you like it!
