Makes great sense. Very disturbing that the wheat we eat is all gmo. No wonder our bodies don't recognize it. My daughter and I are going to do it together, eliminate wheat. We both have autoimmune disorders. My friend recommended this. So glad she did.

This book gets into to details and the science of why wheat is so bad for you.  I've already lost 15 lbs in 1 month.  It made me actually read food labels and I've started changing my eating habits and changing my life.  The first week is hard, but once you start, you notice how much better you feel.  The tingling in my legs and hands stopped and my blood pressure has dropped (I couldn't even control that with medication)!

This is a must read for anyone that is considering a wheat free lifestyle.  I will definitely open your eyes as to why wheat is no longer good for you.

Easy read and makes so much sense. I wish there was an index to save time finding information you need again to make this diet work. My only other concern is the emphasis on almond flour in the only "bread type" recipes - almonds are an incredible water user and causing some water issues in California. Moves some of her suggestions to a lack of alignment with treating mother earth as part of how we are eating. Well worth the time and money to read this book and use the plant based suggestions.

Everyone needs to educate themselves on the hazards of eating wheat.  This book is the real deal.

I just finished reading this book.  I don't often read self help books but this was suggested by a very good friend and I very glad she did.  It makes so much sense and I feel I learned so much about how our food affects us in so many ways.  I have started to reduce my own wheat consumption and have lost weight and feel much better.  I recommend this to people who are having issues with wheat, but also people who just want to understand how our bodies respond to what we are putting into it.  These days, the food industry seems to be more interested in the bottom line than our health!

Wheat Belly is life altering, life changing and mind boggling... but first it will make you very very angry.  Everyone needs to read this with an open mind, and begin living healthy again. I bought copies of this book for all of my friends and family.

This book has heightened my duty to read labels. I have discovered that wheat is every food item. I would like to know how we avoid wheat.

Watched this film with my wife and it has changed the way we think about food and our own health.  It is full of correlations that make sense.  Not extreme points when stacked on top of each other.

* What we eat will effect our health
* A) America is eating too much protein, B) There are other protein options outside of Animal protein
* Cow dairy is the opposite of healthy
* The idea that disease is genetic is tested, the film notes that prevention and reversal is possible by moving to a plant based diet.

At first you get left with, so what is left for me to eat?  Today in most markets across the US you now have so many great options that are avail.

America is heading for a very unhealthy horizon (crisis) full of suffering that has been self inflicted.  Our diet is what we have been taught (from our parents, govt sponsored information, and media), this is a new lesson.  A new lesson that we need to pay more attention too.

Not to clear on how accurate I would consider it. But very interesting, gives me something to think about. Am I willing to completely change the way I buy food, fix food, eat food, etc. I'm sure that if a person could eliminate all the grains he's talking about in the book, if you live through it you would be "the healthy specimen of life".  For me the book leaves not much to eat.  Or a person could go even further, not much to live for.  It sure stops ever eating out again, sure saves you a lot of money there.  But that would be going to the extreme.  If a person would or could use the book as a guide, but not literately?  But not sure how that would work.  Maybe I'm not sick enough for this book.  Just my opinion.

I already was aware of the damage Monsanto and GMOs have done but I didn't know how completely their factory food poisoned my body. Because of this book and another one, Wheat Belly, I have stopped eating not only gluten but all grain and grain products. I wish this information had been available 30 years ago. Very well written with back up proof.

This book it so amazing. It has really helped me understand better why I have felt the way I do so much of the time....and why we keep our big bellies! Even my husband has picked it up and within the first few pages it made so much sense to him. To think of giving up anything in the food line even for better health, usually he won't hear of it but.....he's beginning to consider the benefits of going wheatless. .

This is a very informative book that has great advice on a healthy diet.  My only complaint about this book is that it advocates wheat for people who have not been diagnosed with Celiac disease.  As someone who developed a terrible auto-immune disease while on a low to nonfat vegan diet (that included lots of wheat), I can truly say you don't have to have Celiac's to be sensitive to wheat. From the research I have done, many non celiac people are sensitive to wheat. Otherwise, it's a great book, and I highly recommend it.

If you are one of the people like me who grew up believing in the "science" we were taught and need to understand why what we have always been taught is the "pseudo science" this book is for you. It all makes so much sense now. When I first began hearing about gluten allergies I scoffed. Later I found myself thinking, "too many people are claiming this allergy". Now I understand it is not an allergy, we are poisoning ourselves and our children. Read Robb Wolf's book, understand the reason why this diet works. Understanding will provide the motivation to stick to it for 30 days so you can see the affects yourself.

This book demonstrates both through case studies and through scientific explanations the ways that modern wheat is filling our bodies with inflammation, both in obvious ways (celiacs) but in ways that would not be expected too. The Type 2 diabetes chapter should be adopted by the diabetes association, but they keep shilling whole grains on their victims making them sicker and fatter and more likely to develop Alzheimer's! We really are what we eat and when we were in kindergarten the teacher stopped us from eating the paste . . . Now food pyramid promoters cannot acknowledge how very wrong they are and instead encourage us to eat GLUE! A must read for every parent!

My wife and I have been modifying our eating for the past year.  During this time I have read numerous books on food and diet.  My focus has mostly been on paleo style eating plans.  Wheat Belly simply fills in many of the gaps in my education.

Having grown up in the 60's and 70's with a father who sold cookies for Nabisco I have most likely consumed more wheat and sugar than the average American.  Now that I am working on eliminating wheat from my diet I am feeling better than I have ever felt before.  Wheat Belly was the perfect book to help me stop eating wheat.  The information provided in the book makes such a compelling case for wheat being a HUGE reason for so many of the problems that our nation and for that matter the worlds population is currently facing that I fully expect in the next decade that wheat products will be labeled like cigarettes.  Remember it was less than 50 years ago that cigarettes were being advertised as good for you.

Dr. Davis has a way with his writing that is both informative and entertaining. The book covers technical details in a manner that is both detailed and enjoyable to read.

If you are even the least bit curious or concerned about you health you need to add Wheat Belly to your reading list.

This book was very interesting and challenging the health concerns of many individuals.  It is worth reading and evaluating whether wheat may be causing an individual health issues.  Very helpful to me personally.
