According to the Triad of Autoimmunity, three components are necessary for autoimmunity to develop: a genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and a leaky gut. This is why grains such as oats and rice are excluded from an autoimmune paleo and a standard paleo diet.

While you don't need to eat grains to get the nutrients that you need, they can be quite tasty. Unfortunately, grains have compounds that can be harsh on the gut, including phytates and lectins, which can make it difficult to heal a leaky gut or can contribute to its development. Today, I’m discussing how grains affect the body and my recommendations for grain consumption while you are on your thyroid healing journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How grains can negatively affect gut health
- The Triad of Autoimmunity
- My approach to grain consumption while restoring my health with Grave’s disease
- Why I don’t recommend eating grains while you are on your thyroid healing journey
- My recommendations for choosing gluten-free grains


As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
