Dr. Oz Answers the Gluten-Free Cheat Food Question: What’s Our Answer?
During the Question and Answer session on Dr. Oz today, one woman who has celiac disease asked Dr. Oz the difficult question: Is it OK to cheat a couple of times a year and eat food that causes a reaction?”
Well, the obvious answer was correct. No! You only cheat your body and cause damage and injury ANY time you eat a food that you are sensitive to each and every time that it is consumed.
There’s just no way to get around this issue easily. You must be GOOD to your body. You must choose to do what is healthy for your body. You simply need to have MANY alternative foods that you like, and actually love, to replace those that would encourage entertaining the idea of cheating.

You will find whole foods ready to eat, as well as mixes that you add basic ingredients to at your convenience in your kitchen to keep on hand in your pantry. You will also have single ingredients with which you can prepare any dish with gluten-free products.

There is BETTER News for you. It is possible to regenerate your body to the point that you will no longer have a reaction to these foods that you are sensitive to at this point in time. This could easily take years to accomplish, it all depends upon the individual. You will want to refer to our Posts about Regeneration and Longevity to learn more about how to accomplish this significant task which will restore you to your original glory of being able to eat a wide variety of whole foods without your immune system reacting to any of them.
The most important thing for you to begin to implement is to refuse to do anything or eat anything that harms your body. You have to be your own strong advocate and best friend. You have to have the self-control and discipline to always act in your best interests.
Short term gains like a pleasant taste is not worth the consequences of further damaging your digestive system, the cells in your precious body, or compromising your immune system any more than it already has been stressed. The idea is to stop all compromising behavior NOW and only ingest what is going to be healthy and keep you strong. It does get easier as you progress on this path of Wellness, because when you begin to feel better, stronger, filled with more vitality and a zest for life; then your behavior naturally reinforces these positive changes.
The other aspect of our Answer is to have your pantry stocked at all times with healthy foods. You know that you are going to experience a moment during your day or in the evening when you have a craving or are hungry for a certain flavor or type of food. Listen to your body! Give it what it tells you it needs from a healthy perspective. If you crave salt, then the Water Element with the kidneys, bladder, and reproductive system needs support from the food that you eat. Feed these systems with naturally salty foods as well as beans, pork, and sea vegetables. Your body will communicate its needs with your beautiful brain when you are listening. Simply have the natural whole foods on hand that serve that system in your body, rather than settling for artificial substitutes.
Love your Body…Love your Life! Eat Well!
