Great Grain Debate

As I've been thinking a lot about grains and how they need to play a larger roll in my life.  I can't help but think of those that have medical conditions that have to stear clear of said items.  Like Sally, for instance.  In her recent comment asked how, as a pre-diabetic whose Dr. has asked her to stay away from such food, follow the Word of Wisdom?  I have a mother-in-law and a few friends who are gluten intolerant.  Of course gluten is the stuff found in wheat.  There has to be grains out there that don't have the same effect as wheat. 

Which gets my brain thinking about all grains.  Are there other grains that are superior to others?  I keep thinking about the grain Quinoa.  Before when I was freaked out about calories I would stay away from Quinoa.  But Quinoa is jammed packed with protien and other vitamins.   And what about brown rice?  There is no gluten in that and it's filling and takes the body a long time to digest. 

I was hoping that applying the word of wisdom to my daily life would be easy.  But like most things, we have to become educated in them.  If the Lord thinks it's important to make grains the staff of life, then there has to be grains that all mankind can eat to stay healthy. 

Here comes one of my major weakness, I am a crappy researcher!  I don't know where to start.  I don't know what questions to ask, or what resource to go to.  I wish I could solely rely on revelation.  But I can't do that.  I have to be actively engaged in my good cause. 

That was a great question Sally.  Maybe you and I should start with the fruits and veggies and then go on to the grains.  Yum, vegetables the food of LIFE!!!
