I don't understand this. Bread and biscuits seem like the easiest
kind of thing to avoid. Of course, after being strict about this for
6 months, I am very aware of my gluten intolerances now, and I was
previously unaware that there was a problem. If you don't give
something a fair trial, how will you ever know? I read recently that
it takes our bodies at least a year of strict gluten and casein
abstinence to stop producing antibodies against them.
In fact, I had a strange experience just the other day - my youngest
brother *said* he understood my eating plan, but then he served me
Chinese food with sauces thickened with cornstarch and flour. I
actually had my throat close up and I started choking after about 10
minutes. It was awful, and clearly an allergic reaction, as this is
what used to happen when I would get a bee sting. Fortunately I
survived it ok, but I'm not taking any more chances.
I had thought that this was a voluntary plan, just for weight loss,
and health stabilization, and that I could "cheat" as much as I
wanted, but our bodies are much more survival oriented than we think!
