This might be just out in left field, but I read this thinking about the big dose of antibiotics you required recently in order to overcome a bad infection. Could this be the cause of your digestion problems? I don't know and I'm not saying it is, but I had to wonder. Back when I worked as a nutritional consultant we used to recommend Bio-K to replenish and boost digestive flora. Yogurt and acidophilus are often not enough. What d'ya think? hi K.

2) my first thought as i began reading this post was: welcome to my world :), but then you mention me and i thought about how good your cooking is and how allergen or not, it was (and still is) a bright spot of nutritious love.
3) i am forming a hyposthesis about the allergen stuff - i strongly suspect that it has to do with food supple issues, pesticide and other environmental toxins (the endocrine disruptors, hormones in meat, antibiotics in meat, pharmacuetical leftovers {antibiotics, birth control pills, etc.} from sewage system that end up in our water supply, etc.) have effected our immune response
4) corn and wheat and soy are three of the most f*cked foods - i bet they barely resemble what they were even a decade ago . . .
5) you are under a tremendous amount of stress - have been for a while - which has shifted your immune response
6) you work in a corporate environment - more immune response changes

seriously . . . most of this shit is so out of our control for the most part. i know that when i am done with school i must find a way to get back to spending more time in the spaces of Being and gentle Doing. this 24/7 Souped Up Doing shit is for the birds . . . no not even for the birds :)

and if you ever want to talk to me about how i manage my eating, my meals, etc. i’ll happily pass on my tips figured out over the past decade . . .

I do not bow down to the great Western Medicine Institution, however, they are useful for quite a few things. Have you already actually been tested for a gluten allergy? Is that something that can be tested the way other allergies can? Getting as close as you can to definitively pinpointing the real culprits of your discomfort seems really important. I know that isn't always possible. I know I can't eat pizza much anymore because it makes me bloat too. That seems to happen to most adults I know, pizza is one of the first things to go. I want answers for you because you are in such an awful situation, going through all this discomfort and not really knowing how far you have to go, how careful you have to be, and of what? I hope no one makes me give up coffee. i gave up smoking. I gave up late nights. (mostly) I gave up running. Please not coffee and bear. Bread I could live without. But gluten? Yikes. I'm a real weak-ass. No self discipline in these matters. However, you are making me think more about what I'm eating and that's a positive thing. I'd like to retrain myself in my eating habits. I think making these kinds of changes really takes time. I’m glad you’re going to get a little back up from a doctor.

I am sensitive to wheat too and avoid it. If I get off it for a few weeks I can have a tiny bit without problems, but if I forget I end up looking 7 months pregnant. I gave up coffee at the suggestion of my osteopath, almost 5 month now, as a "cure" for my fibrous breasts. I was dubious, but it was a cure a complete and total change in breast tissue. Amazing.
