Dr. Osborne: And um, you know, one of my first patients was a little girl and I wrote about her in the book and her name was ginger. She’s nine years old. She comes to me, I’m like the ninth doctor, she’s got a terminal diagnosis of juvenile juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. So, you know, her mom has literally been told by the rheumatologists, go home and get ready for your daughter’s funeral. Do you imagine that? Right. And so what makes me so mad is that I wasn’t the first doctor. I was, that I was the last doctor in this chain of many, many doctors over many, many years because this little girl had this disease from early on. That’s what juvenile onset means. And so her knees were the size of softballs and she was a tiny little thing. She couldn’t get around as a child. She couldn’t crawl, she couldn’t go to the playground and play.

No Grain, No Pain The Book - Gluten Free Society

I left the hospital and started my own practice. One of my very first patients was a young girl with a debilitating, painful joint disease called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Her case was so bad that doctors didn’t know if she would make it. Her mother was told to prepare for her death within the next 6 months. Because of this, the Make-A-Wish Foundation actually stepped in and granted her and her family a wish. And I actually believed this to. I figured if I just led a 100% gluten free diet, I’d be pain free. I mean…that is the ONLY cure. Well, not exactly a cure, but more of a prevention of other uglier diseases which celiac can lead to. Sometimes people have deficiencies. We live in a world where we’ve all been told, “We’re not a third world country. We don’t worry about malnutrition anymore” and that’s just not true. I see malnutrition in my practice every single day because what most people eat is so processed and so laden with garbage and so nutritionally deficient, that they’re getting plenty of calories but they’re not getting plenty of micro-nutrients. And so that’s part of where, again, functional medicine shines because we investigate that. We measure it. So that’s one of the fundamental factors. They still have mycotoxins, they still have heavy metals, they still a very high glycemic and so they contribute to diabetes. There’s just too many problems involved around eating those as staple foods.Omega 6 triggers inflammation. It contributes to chronic inflammation. If a person is eating foods that have a lot of Omega 6 fat on a regular basis and they’re not getting adequate levels of Omega 3, their body is going to be in a hyper inflamed state regardless. If we can reverse that Omega 6-3 ratio with fish oil and the right diet changes, it’s very very effective at reducing pain naturally without having a need to do anything else. So what happens … These medications, one of the side effects is leaky gut. There’s a study just published found that even in low doses, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories cause erosion and ulceration in the stomach and small intestines. Which in and of itself can create a whole battery of problems as it relates to autoimmune disease. Just as an example, even though I strictly "only" avoid gluten and still eat lots of other foods the author said we shouldn't eat, it nonetheless caused me lots of social and career problems and those greatly affected my happiness and self esteem.

No Grain, No Pain: A 30-Day Diet for Eliminating the Root No Grain, No Pain: A 30-Day Diet for Eliminating the Root

Dr. Osborne: Okay? Otherwise what happens is you’re getting a highly processed rain with other additives and other dough conditioners and other chemicals and that’s not good for you, Most people don’t get sleep. They abuse that aspect of their life. My advice is to try to mimic or immolate your sleep pattern with the sun. Try to go down when it’s dark. Try to wake up when it’s light. I know in the winter, especially if you’re further north, that’s harder to do because it gets dark at five-thirty. But really try to sleep between the hours of ten P.M. and two A.M. Preferably longer on both ends, but this is when your hormones reset and this is how your cortisol is regulated. Excellent. So in your book you advocate eliminating all grains from the diet. So I want to play devil’s advocate for a second. The diet you recommend is very similar to the one I use with my patients, but is someone were to say to you, “Well, I have beans maybe once of twice a week and they don’t really bother me and someone told me that grains are full of fiber and have some essential vitamins in there”, what would you say to them about that?So just to start out, in addition to being a chiropractic physician you also practice functional medicine. And you use both as you treat pain. But can you kind of talk about functional medicine a little bit and describe how functional medicine takes a different approach toward pain relief than conventional medicine would?

Like if you were going to eat a grain of all the grains out there, what is the one grain you’d say, all right, if you’re going to do an exception, that’s the grain I recommend Dr. Osborne: So those are some of the things that cause leaky gut that your audience can start taking action on right away.

Dr. Peter Osborne is the clinical director of Origins Health Care in Sugar Land, Texas. He is a doctor of chiropractic, doctor of functional medicine, doctor of pastoral science, and a Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist. Dr. Osborne: Lots of them. So what I write about in the book is not only is gluten one of the things that can cause inflammation, we dubbed the term grainflammation grain induced inflammation. Gluten is one of the proteins that we know can trigger it, but there are four other classes of proteins that are right about in the book that are commonly found in grains that have nothing to do with gluten. As an example, there’s a family of proteins called ati, amylase, trypsin inhibitors. These proteins actually shut down the pancreas. They prevent the pancreas from secreting enzymes that help a person digest, so in this case, grainflammation would be an inability to digest the food so the food rots in the gut, creating a side effect of inflammation and constipation, so that’s an example of inflammation caused by grain that’s not caused by gluten. One of the other examples I can give you is the mycotoxins grains are very high in mycotoxins. Dr. Osborne: Leaky gut means that the contents of the gut lining are quarantined away from the bloodstream. Think of your gut as as, as part of your insights, but it’s not part of your blood and that from your mouth to your anus. It’s a quarantine zone with those tight cells keeping everything out of your bloodstream, so if they break open now the ingredients of your gut can leach into the the behind the gut wall. There’s this massive quantity of immune cells called gastro associated lymphoid tissue and this tissues design to basically it’s, it’s the. It’s the stop gap, right? If, if the guts leaking, this immune system behind your gut wall tries to stop the damage from spilling over into your bloodstream. But whAt happens is some of those proteins in our food that we eat and in the bacteria that live inside of our gi tract, some those proteins have, well, they’re similar in size and structure and shape to our tissues. Same thing happened to the Pima Indians. So we’ve got these two study groups that we use kind of in epidemiological studies to say, “What actually are these guidelines that we’ve put in place for every American and how horrible is that?” I have mixed feelings on this book. My mom gave it to me nearly a year after I'd been hospitalized a few times for a sudden battle with dysautonomia, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (mainly vascular), and GI issues that are currently trying to be solved. A little late to try to care but the title of the book made me immediately know she was worried I'd inherited her celiac disease and just wasn't showing antibodies. This is possible and I had biopsies to test for deterioration yesterday that were scheduled before I got this book from her.Of course there are many other problems.....and this is just by avoiding gluten (so wheat, barley and rye). I let you imagine how your life will be by avoiding all the foods the author say you should avoid. Dr. Osborne: So if you’re eating them, it can make your stomach upset and it can make you want to vomit. It can make you have diarrhea, right? So I don’t recommend when people are going through no grain, no pain, I don’t recommend seeds for the first several months, just if their guts are already in disarray because seeds are hard to digest. Right? And if we’ve got a gut that’s already compromised, it would. Let me give you another analogy. If your muscles are superstore, right? Because you worked out yesterday and they’re so sore, you can barely walk. You’re not going to go to the gym and do more exercise today. You’re going to take a little time off and let them recover and heal. Right. What’s the same thing with your gut? If your gut is so sore because it’s been damaged by years of gluten exposure or years of doing and eating the wrong foods. If you put a bunch of seed based food and it and you try to get the gut that’s already compromised to digest the seeds, it’s just going to struggle and have a harder time. Then you have the fact that many of these grains and legumes are grown and they contain heavy metals like cadmium and arsenic and mercury. These things can interfere with how our calcium is pulled into our joints and how calcium is pulled into our tendons, ligaments and bone. It can create a weaker bone, a weaker tendon, a weaker ligament that’s predisposed to injury. That’s predisposed to ripping and tearing just by normal use.
