I've never actually reacted to Barley, at least not in the past...

Wheat allergy is it then?

Seems to be... altho' I can tolerate ramen pasta if I limit the
quantity. :-) Bread makes me the sickest of all.

Glucose Tolerance Test?

We've pretty much done away with those and use the HA1C test instead.
My A1C level runs around 5.5 to 5.6. Normal is max of 6.5. :-)

I'm not a type II diabetic yet, but I'm trying to head there. It's why

relegated to "treat" status.
