Gluten

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to everyone.  All blood work is normal so I will continue to take my medication and take care of myself.
I still continue to struggle with shortness of breath, fatigue, asthma, allergies, skin problems, swollen achy joints and major acid reflux.  Because of these issues I went gluten free hoping it would help and it did make a difference (small difference).  I have done a lot of research on gluten sensitivity and I was amazed to find out that many autoimmune diseases are brought on by gluten sensitivity including Systemic Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus.  I saw an article about an organization called the Gluten Free Society and they have a great cookbook out called Glutenology so I ordered it and am excited to try some new recipes.  Maybe cooking will be fun again :).  I also learned that all grains including Sorghum, Corn and Amaranth still contain gluten but contain a smaller amount than wheat, barley, rye and oats.  It's gonna be hard but I'm going to start avoiding these too.
I want to give a shout out to my padded cell, crazy conversationalist, wine buddy Linda who tried to tell me I needed to cut these things out.  She knows what she is talking about :)
