Dr sebi on wheat 🌾

Yeasty bread and wheat products are acidic food groups that Dr. Sebi says are connected with creating mucus in the body. If a person has excess mucus in any organ, the person may be susceptible to inflammation and consequently disease.

To function optimally, our body needs a good source of minerals and an alkaline pH that would let the minerals to be absorbed into the body cells and nourish it. Minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium can be found in food and grains, especially the ones that are on the list of Dr. Sebi’s diet

Dr. Sebi’s diet contains grains that can be used for body alkalization. Eating bread while staying on Dr. Sebi’s diet is allowed only if the bread is prepared from sprouted grains like amaranth, quinoa, spelt, and kamut. This kind of sprouted or sourdough bread has a unique preparation process that helps in creating an alkaline environment in the body.

As Dr. Sebi says about conventional white bread:

“Gluten is starch, starch again is carbonic acid. Gluten clogs the system, it rots in the system, it wears the system down, and gluten robs you of your iron. Gluten will deliver sulfides in your body. Sulfides are the residual of the gluten like lactic acid is the residual of milk. Sulfide is the result of the presence of gluten, sulfide is bad, it robs you of oxygen. When we buy bread, we should buy the one that says Spelt bread, Kamut” 

We can see that Dr. Sebi does not approve of white breads and other gluten breads as they tend to deprive the body of essential minerals. And being that Dr. Sebi is a great advocate of complete mineral nourishment, it’s no surprise this is so.

The science behind Dr. Sebi’s diet says that processed bread prepared from white flour and added yeast is a high acid food.

Can You Eat Bread on the Dr. Sebi Alkaline Diet?

Yes, eating bread on the alkaline diet is allowed provided the bread is made from ancient alkalind grains approved on the diet. Ancient alkaline grains approved in this diet include wild spelt and kamut grains.

Good and healthy bread is a main source of nutrients on a whole plant-based diet. Whole grains and sourdough bread are used as a substitute for white bread in the Dr. Sebi alkaline diet. This kind of bread should however be eaten in moderation.

Although the types of bread you can eat on the Dr. Sebi alkaline diet are limited, it is allowed to eat bread prepared from alkaline grains like kamut, spelt, amaranth, quinoa, and rye.
