Looking briefly at her site it seems to me that it's all about dysbiosis, i.e. people who cannot completely digest and absorb the complex sugars (starches) have increased bacterial growth in the intestines and this creates endotoxin and immune problems. Simple sugars don't need digestion by pancreatic enzymes so they are absorbed right away before having chance to reach and feed the bacteria in the distal intestine/colon. However, there are also good bacteria which turn ugly (clingy) when exposed to PUFAs as Hans says. Perhaps switching to the PUFA restriction diet would help the dysbiosis and restart the pancreas to produce enough starch cleaving enzymes like in the case of thyroid and coconut oil ... |
