Gluten-Free Seed Bread [Recipe]
The nuts and seeds in this gluten-free bread provide great vitamins and nutrients combined with fiber to support a healthy digestive system so it’s a real upgrade from a piece of bread high in refined carbohydrates. It’s all held together without flour with the magic of psyllium seed husks! Psyllium seed husks contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber dissolves in water and soothes the digestive tract with its mucilaginous properties, while the insoluble fiber acts like a broom to sweep the the colon. My family loves this bread and I make a loaf every 1-2 weeks to have on hand! I really hope you enjoy it!
My Daily Matcha Latte Recipe
It’s no secret that I LOVE my matcha. But this was not always the case! As someone who adores the ritual of a warm cup of something in the morning, I had a pretty tough time coming to term with the fact that my morning coffee was not doing me any favors. Although I had been drinking it for years (and even worked as a barista) when I really tuned in years ago I realized that coffee was irritating my already irritated and inflamed gut, was adding to my already heightened state of stress and was a trigger for some of my worst inflammatory symptoms. My daily matcha latte recipe has been a life saver and is my favorite way to start the day!
Does everyone with autoimmunity need to avoid gluten and dairy?
Firstly, everyone with autoimmunity, even with the same diagnosis is very different and the reasons for immune system dysfunction are going to be very different as well.
As with anything, it’s not a black and white answer but rather, it depends! Join me as we explore the bioindividuality of including gluten or dairy into your diet.
