        When I eat wheat, I get on overwhelming sleepiness.  I sleep about two
hours, dreamless.  When my 7month old Devin was being tested for chicken
and rice at Dr. Rapp's office, he cried for about 30 secs. and then fell
"asleep" and could not be roused until the allegen was neutralized.
        Since baking soda will wake us up from food reactions, I assume acidosis
is related.  Curran's brain damage was caused when he was 4 days old from
an acidotic coma (his pH was 6.22) from my taking ibuprofen.  He cried for
a minute and then fell asleep.  (Any lawyers on this list?)
