Avoiding gluten is such an important part of maintaining good gut health, but it’s not that easy if you’ve been eating glutenous foods your whole life! I created the Ultimate Candida Diet program, with Dr Eric Wood, to improve gut health and reverse Candida overgrowth. It contains more than 100 recipes that are completely free of added sugars and gluten.
The recipe is courtesy of Lisa Richards. A nutritionist and author of The Candida Diet. She has been featured on Today, US News, Women’s Health magazine, and Huffington Post. Through her website, she explains the benefits of a low-sugar, anti-inflammatory diet.
“As a nutritionist focused on gut health, I commonly integrate gluten free recipes and ingredients into my protocols. Gluten is a particularly difficult protein for us to digest, especially when many foods these days contain very high levels, and our digestive systems are simply not built to process it well. Until you have managed to restore a normal balance to your gut flora, gluten is highly likely to be a problem food.
My Gluten Free Waffles contains no added sugars or gluten, both of which can contribute to poor gut health. I use coconut instead of regular flour, but with a little experimentation you can use alternatives like buckwheat flour too. My Cauliflower Tortillas make an excellent alternative for gluten-containing traditional tortillas.
Gluten weakens the junctions that form your intestinal walls, leading to leaky gut syndrome, allergies, low energy, and more. Cutting gluten out of your diet can lead to some remarkable health improvements.”
