JessicaThompson Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have completed a couple rounds of Whole30 since I was introduced to the program at the beginning of the summer. I try to make smart choices between Whole30s and to keep up as much of it as I can. On the rare occasion I eat pasta, would you recommend whole wheat pasta or gluten free pasta? I bought a package of gluten free pasta at the store and the only ingredients are %100 corn flour and water. Just wondering if I'd be better off going with wheat or corn flour. Thanks.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted November 18, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi Jessica, Whole30 doesn't make "less bad" recommendations for life after Whole30. It's really up to you and how your reintroductions went as to whether you choose the corn or the wheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It really depends. It depends on how your body reacts. Regular pasta leaves a lump in my stomach for hours. Whole wheat pasta is painful, and anything with corn is just very uncomfortable and explosive within the hour. But this is me. You will have your very own reactions and only you can deem weather the consequences are worth or not. For me none of the above really work. For me Rice pasta is about the only one - and that one still give me issues - albeit minor ones. The only true pasta I will eat is in the form of my MIL's homemade lasagna. She only makes it special occasions. Usually I will eat a small piece of it and accept the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You might want to make sure you eat organic corn. Most corn in the us has been genetically modified where they are injected with a toxin that creates a leaky gut in the insects that try to eat it. Unfortunately when we eat it, it causes leaky gut in us as well. You can't guarantee that your corn is GMO free so you may want to avoid it all together.

leahcarn Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I agree, it comes back to your personal reintroductions. Was corn or wheat worse for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeve Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 They'll both mess up your flora, so it's chocolate or vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Based on what I've read, gluten has more potential bad consequences than corn. But even in a non-W30 environment I'd still go for spaghetti squash or zoodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The problem with bad gluten is that it affects some people in their gut but others in their brain. The problem is you can't tell if it's inflaming your brain until you get an auto immune disease like MS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's etc. All people with auto immune diseases have problems with gluten.

GFChris Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 All people with auto immune diseases have problems with gluten. Not accurate. I am someone living with MS and I also happen to be diagnosed as gluten sensitive. I know plenty of other people living with MS who don't have a problem with gluten.

Sleeve Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Prolamin exomorphins are doing the square dance with opiod receptors in your brain, whether they're dressed up like gluten cowboys or zein cowgirls. Our brains go both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 If you can find buckwheat pasta, you may be able to skip both corn and wheat. It's a funny colour, but tastes good (not W30 compliant, post-W30 only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It depends on yourself. After healing your gut reintroducing those foods again may have an affect. Like myself I stick to vegies spiralled with sauce for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
