So was I. Instead of flooding the digest with individual reports of reactions or lack thereof, perhaps the list owners can set up a poll using LISTSERV --let us vote yes or no by GETting files named YES or NO, at least something like that. Surely there's an well used polling procedure that other lists use. This should get a larger response because it only requires a short form message and because it's anonymous (thanks to Don Kasarda for suggesting that interpretation of the prevalence of posted "instant reactions"). By "instant" I mean within 12 -24 hours and by "reaction" I mean something unique to gluten. (Other food allergies abound.) The best test of that is that you had that reaction unexpectedly once and then found out independently that there was gluten in what you ate. Kemp Randolph Long Island krand@pipeline
