Dr. Gundry generally advises against most grains due to lectins, but his approved "bread" is Barely Bread, a grain-free, lectin-free substitute made from almond flour, coconut flour, egg whites, and other non-grain ingredients, highlighting his focus on avoiding lectin-rich foods like wheat, oats, and even many traditional whole grains. He's very strict on grains like oatmeal, even organic ones, but his core philosophy is to avoid lectins, meaning most traditional bread/grain products are off-limits, focusing instead on nuts, seeds, vegetables, and lean proteins. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Grains & Breads Dr. Gundry Advises Against (or with Caution):
• Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye: Most traditional breads and grains are high in lectins, which he considers harmful to the gut.
• Oatmeal: He specifically advises against it, even organic versions. [2, 4, 6, 7]
Dr. Gundry's Approved "Bread" (Grain-Free):
• Barely Bread: This is his go-to, grain-free, lectin-free bread alternative, made from almond flour, coconut flour, egg whites, and other lectin-free ingredients. [1, 2, 3]
What to Focus On Instead (Gundry Style):
• Nuts & Seeds: Macadamia nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, and almond/coconut flours (as in Barely Bread) are key.
• Healthy Fats: Olive oil, MCT oil, avocado.
• Proteins: Pasture-raised eggs, goat/sheep yogurt.
• Vegetables: Leafy greens and other lectin-free vegetables. [1, 2, 4, 8]
In essence, if it's a traditional grain-based bread or cereal, Dr. Gundry says no; if it's grain-free and lectin-free (like his Barely Bread or a diet focused on nuts/veggies), he says yes. [1, 2, 4]
