Mimi's Toast examines the toll gluten takes on generations of one family. The author looks back at the terrorized life her
maternal Grandmother Mimi endured as a paranoid schizophrenic, brought on by gluten intolerance. The author explores her own physical health issues -- including being hypothyroid and severely anemic -- that were caused courtesy of gluten.
I used to start every day with my favorite breakfast: whole wheat toast with cheese on top and some yogurt too.
Just as my grandmother Mimi did before me, I was poisoning my system with dairy (casein) and gluten in the bread. Mimi eventually went completely insane. I didn't but I was nearly bed ridden for two years in horrible health. I finally started down the path to good health, but it came at a high price. I will pay any price to be truly healthy, however. It is my hope that my experiences shared in this blog will save someone else all of that misery and money I have spent on getting smart about getting healthy.
One thing that I cannot stand the thought of ingesting any longer is casein, which is the protein found in all dairy products. You may think you "just" have a problem with lactose but you need to look further and read up on caseins.
You can start by reading this interview with a dairy expert. If this doesn't gross you out and make you run to your refrigerator and toss anything with dairy in it, nothing will.
