This is my first posting to the list, and I hope I'm doing it right!
I've appreciated everything I've learned since joining a week or two
ago.
Someone asked about increased gluten sensitivity after being on a gf
diet. I'm not sure, but I think it could be like the false tolerance
mechanism with food allergies. If you eat something you're allergic to,
you may develop a false tolerance, which makes it seem that you're doing
fine with the food. Yet you still have some weird, seemingly unrelated
symptoms. I think of milk allergy and ear and sinus infections in
children.
My husband is on a low-carb diet to lose weight, and he's discovered
food allergies he thought he'd outgrown--he has quite strong reactions
to foods he's eaten daily as an adult. I can also think of my allergy to
cinnamon--I avoided it for a long, long time, then ate a cinnamon roll
(before I went gf), and my throat and face swelled up alarmingly.
