>Try raw kefir if you live in CA (organic pastures brand) for a similar taste that is GOOD for your gut biome and you can digest it.<

Interesting. We only have Lifeway around here. It’s pasteurized and many of its bacteria are dead. I bought milk kefir grains from a vendor on Amazon and I make my own kefir. It’s fun and I know the cultures are alive and thriving.

There is reason to suspect that in recent decades, greater cleanliness and higher rates of antibiotic use contributed to the development of allergies by reducing exposure to bacteria and the load and variety of "good bacteria" normally resident in the human gut. Looking for things to monitor and sometimes battle, the immune system then attacks food particles and airborne particulates. This is thought to result in the development of allergies and intolerances.

In addition to this widely accepted "hygiene hypothesis," in susceptible individuals another source of allergies may be now common organic chemical compounds that disrupt the hormone and immune systems. Pesticides, cooking with plastic and non-stick cookware, and relying on canned and plastic sealed foods are the usual ways by which such chemicals enter the human body.

Moreover, in recent years, a lack of adequate Vitamin D intake and of sun exposure to activate it may also contribute to allergies. Among the functions of Vitamin D is helping the immune system to focus its destructive attentions on genuine menaces instead of the misdirected effort of allergic reactions.

I had severe allergies for years, but they gradually diminished when I stopped eating gluten. It turned out that I had celiac disease.

I made my own kefir from grains for a while but then I got sick from it, perhaps some bad bacteria started growing in my batch. I thought I was scrupulous but something went wrong. If there is one pasteurized dairy product in grocery stores that I will buy it is the Lifeway or other full fat plain kefir because I can drink it and not get sick. But I just tried the Organic Pastures raw kefir and it’s great, better than my old homemade.

I don’t know why I can make kick ass kombucha and not good milk kefir.

I already can’t eat flavor enhancing chemicals. Nope, it was macadamias and salt. But you are right - a lot of people don’t realize the problem they are having when they eat msg, because they don’t know they are eating it. I can’t tolerate it.

And how right you are as well.

I was lucky enough to meet an old drinking friend of Andrew Wakefield’s. He’s a good guy and he knows the truth. Oh, the old drinking buddy: a gorgeous, smart, female redhead!

I know you know this but for others out there who don't.

A while back MSG was called MSG. It was easy to see it on the food label and easy to avoid. Now if you google flavor enhancers you will find about a dozen different names for it.

Most people eat it with no problem but some of us are not so lucky. It gives me irregular heart beats that could lead to a stroke according to my cardio doc.

I have had 2 tests for celiac and both were negative but I still can't eat wheat.

Me too. I have to always scan ingredients for all the pseudonyms msg hides under. There is not one chicken broth, soup, or bottled salad dressing without it.

I have found salad dressing under the name Briannas and broth 365 brand from Whole Foods that do not contain flavor enhancers. Don't know if you can get them in your area.

Grocery shopping is tiresome and eating out is worse. I wouldn't wish this on the worst person I know!

Specialists have recently begun crediting the existence of non-celiac gluten sensitivity that requires the exclusion of gluten from the diet. In addition, a condition known as FODMAPS also implicates gluten and a larger category of carbohydrates that should be reduced or avoided. NON-CELIAC GLUTEN SENSITIVITY.
