My parents spent lots of money hauling off to an ear, nose and throat doctor. The doctor could never figure out what caused the continuous postnasal drip. My adenoids and tonsils were surgically removed. No help. I stumbled upon the possiblity that wheat was the problem in 1996 at age 40. I removed wheat from my diet and within a week my sinuses were completely clear. I removed milk and the swelling in my throat disappeared. So did the perpetual stomach cramps and gas.

One of my co-workers was consuming lots of glucosamine just to keep her joints tolerable. Wheat contains other lectins that can attack the joints. She was pain free in 3 days. No more need for glucosamine.

Another co-worker (physics PhD) decided to take a lunch break while we were discussing some software development issues. Less than 30 seconds after he bit into his balogna sandwich on whole week, his eyes started weeping and he was coughing and sneezing. He said that always happens when he eats a sandwich. I suggested he consider taking wheat out of his diet to see if that problem abated. He did and had no further occurrences. Some people have a problem and don't even realize it.

If you are lucky enough not to have the problem, fine. Wheat problems are common in people with type 0 blood. That is a large portion of the population.
