Sprouted Grains

I have noticed lately that I have been getting severe upper back pain. The first time I get it I actually thought I was having a heart attack; the pain was in the back of my neck, across my upper back and would shoot down my arms. When I get it, the pain lasts 2-3 days. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. It is definitely something I am eating that I don't normally have; possibilities include regular coffee, gluten, dairy.

You may wonder how I drink my coffee (especially those that have previously seen me add like 8 sugar packets and milk to be able to drink it) I use organic coconut milk, 100% pure dark amber Vermont maple syrup, and 2-3 drops of vanilla extract.

I have found a way to eat bread and cereal. If you buy sprouted grain bread and/or cereal, it is not only healthy but paleo approved and tolerated by my system without any pain.

I have tried to make my own sprouted rice from packages of Carolina rice but either am doing something wrong or the rice is not in the right stage to sprout.

I usually just buy the regular sprouted grain bread from Trader Joe's but if you can find it, it also comes in cinnamon raisin, sesame, flax and more.

I have also found an amazing cereal that even my kids love and choose to eat over the wonderful cheerios. Kashi makes a sprouted grain cereal but is very hard to find. I order it online from Walmart.com. This box lasted a day and a half in my house.

Eat the way God intended us to eat, its better for our bodies and keeps our systems working the way they should. (Also helped me lose ALL the weight I gained from having 2 kids.) It takes extreme willpower, which I have when I am home. When I go out my willpower is very low to avoid foods I should not eat. God and I are working on this.
