 Most whole grains contain gluten. Gluten is a protein in certain grains—especially wheat. People typically associate gluten with digestive problems. However, there is another condition related to gluten that’s destroying your brain. It’s called gluten ataxia. 

Gluten ataxia is a lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movement. It is an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten that destroys the cerebellum. Only 10% of the time do people have GI symptoms. 40 % of people have GI damage, but only 10% show symptoms. Once your cerebellum is damaged, it’s very difficult to reverse the damage.  

 Gluten ataxia can cause problems with:

 • Gait - balance 

 • Speech • Eyes 

 • Posture 1st symptoms of gluten ataxia: 

• Decreased focus 

 • Brain fog 

 • Mood disorder 

 • Cognitive decline 

Consider not consuming grains for this reason and try healthy keto. 

 Another thing to keep in mind is that even though there may not be gluten in the grains, you still have grains. Those grains will turn to sugar fast and spike insulin, which can create a lot of other problems.
