::Has anyone ever heard of someone being allergic to rice?
        Lots of people are.  Esp. as rice is becoming more and more commonly
eaten.  It is a grass.

::Is rice really less allergenic than other grains?
        Not as far as I know.  The reason it was beleived so is because it was
rarely eaten in this country up until the grain fad began.

        How many people here have celiac disease?  Or were most of you allergic?
Or both?  Todd, I know your son's story.







The distance that the dead have gone
does not at first appear-
Their coming back seems possible
for many an ardent year.
