You don't need to stop eating grains in order to be more healthy, but try to switch more toward whole grains. Whole grains have not been milled. That means the bran is still intact. The bran is a great source of fiber, trace minerals and B vitamins. It adds a great deal of depth to the grains.

Whole grains are the healthiest option. If you are having issues with eating grains it is best to speak with a healthcare provider.
