I guess we can't help what were allergic too. I found out Im allergic to bee stings and with my job landscaping I get stung alot. So now I have to carry around an adrenalin shot so I don't die.

Do you mean Prednisone?? I have studied a little bit about that drug in the past, is 100mg the first dose prescribed?

Just wanted to say I am impressed that you could figure it out. I have seen this many times since I have the same trouble. Yet even when people stick to the wheat-free/gluten-free diet for a week or so, feel better, look better, etc. they STILL go back and convince themselves that it's not a problem


In fact, most people who "just can't lose weight" find that they start to add muscle once they "go on a diet". What's the first thing they start to get rid of...? Not a coincidence!
