<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This line of conversation made me remember an experience a number of years ago when I was travelling along the east coast US. I was eating a lot of seafood and getting a decent amount of inadvertant wheat poisoning. After a while of this there came a meal where I ate some shrimp and then felt something like that burning sensation many of you described followed by nausea, dizziness, and the head-rush prickly kind of vision. Then I had a spell where I fell over and felt horrible for a while and after that it all cleared up. There's a history of seafood allergy in one side of my family so I attributed it to this but I can now and previously had been able to consume seafood without any problem. So I wonder if this was the gluten combining effects with a mild food allergy? Is this level of a reaction common to us? ---------------------- Suzanne Rothrock Ford [log in to unmask]
