Here we go again.... Last time it was carbs, now it's "wheat = fascism".

Try doing some research before spewing an uninformed opinion. The wife of one our local police officers is an avid runner. She kept getting hairline fractures in her feet. It turns out that she is intolerant to gluten. The consequence for her is the inability to take up sufficient calcium from her food. She has severe osteoporosis caused by gluten intolerance.

I have problems with wheat and milk. Consuming anything with wheat causes a heavy postnasal drip and congestion in my lungs within 10 minutes. The consequences don't stop there. Over the next 36 hours, my digestive tract becomes inflamed and bleeds like crazy. It's way beyond a Preparation H moment. Witch hazel helps until the inflammation subsides. Milk is a double whammy. The milk proteins cause my throat to swell. The lactose causes lots of acid and gas.

If you don't have problems with wheat and/or mile, consider yourself lucky. Just don't assume that everyone else is equally Ok. I really enjoy the smell of baking bread. I'm happy to limit my enjoyment to the fine fragrance. Ditto for pizza.

Honey, just quit ingesting those items that make you sick and you will be fine.

We are fanatic about the gluten/wheat free diet and my husband thrives.

How many times a week do you do this?

With my son, gluten intolerance expressed with vit B6 deficiency, bloody diarrhea and a migraine that didn't let up for years. As a matter of fact, that was how we discovered it. Just by luck we were referred to a neurologist for the headaches and he figured it out. "First we look at the blood, *then* we look at the brain!"
