I've been seasoning posting this, but now a week and a half in, I guess it's time

I haven't shared this with you because I wasn't sure where you stood on this whole '21st Century Nutrition', but the late 90s saw me on a LOT of medications: Remeron, Elovil, Prozac, two statin drugs, and a drug that helped me sleep. I was not miserable but I was getting fatter and fatter and despite the TWO statin drugs, my cholesterol/triglycerides were maxing out(if you remember one of the last tests you did for me it was in a similar state

Your ethnic background commentary makes much sense, but wheat is very much in my ethnic background. There are some questions being raised at this point, given the increasing rate of individuals appearing to have problems with wheat; is it us or has the wheat changed? I would suggest the same about corn

[jharish]

You're right. I've watched a few documentaries recently, on YouTube, like King Corn and similar where they question the wisdom of our food supply chain. In King Corn is where they break down the carbon of a average American and show that it's 90+% corn. Then they discuss that corn today is nothing like corn yesterday

It is fantastic that you're feeling so much better. The withdrawal must surely be daunting, but such immediate results have to be very encouraging!

I'm so delighted its hard to not overdo. It was nice to be able to work up a sweat yesterday, but I'm paying for it today. The muscles are a bit achy & there's a blister on my left big toe with its own zip code. I think I'll limit it to 2 miles at a clip for the next few days.

Yeah. . . I imagine that there, just as here, it's getting to be great hiking weather. Resistance is hopefully not futile. :)

Most interesting.

I am glad you are feeling better. There are wheat allergies other than celiacs - I get migraines and sinus inflammation from wheat. I eliminated as best as I could sources of wheat and gluten from back in 2005 and my migraine frequency dropped dramatically and I haven't had my two or three times a year sinus infections that needed Cipro to kill since. I discovered the allergy through South Beach, the day after I started it felt like my head was clear, two weeks when I added wheat back, smash I had a migraine. I have other triggers but the times I have accidentally gotten too much wheat I also get a migraine. (I test borderline on the gluten intolerance blood test). My Mom starts to cough when she eats wheat and has full blown celiacs. I am not so sensitive that I need to check the sources of glucose syrup or maltodextrin in things but a friend actually has a contact allergy to wheat

Hoorah for immediate pain relief!
