<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I wrote a few weeks (or months?) ago about my CD/Asthma connection -- time to repeat it. I have had asthma, bronchitis, repeated pneumonia bouts and no end of upper respiratory hell all my life. Less than two months into the gluten free diet the whole issue all but went away. I still get occasional feelings reminiscent of asthma. I attribute them to either stress or a dietary blooper. A 15-minute effort at relaxation makes it go away if stress is the cause. When it seems to be dietary, it is only a "partial" sort of asthma, bothering me only somewhat when I exercise hard (running after my escaping dog). It hasn't been frightening or threatening since I went on this diet. And I no longer have to take the $500 a month worth of medications I used to take! Patty in San Francisco
