I really do doubt tho' that it'll be a problem for me as I almost totally avoid processed foods. I kind of hate sticking my nose in offering unsolicited info but I also feel a responsibility since this condition has been so under-diagnosed because US med schools taught that it was rare in the US. It's heartbreaking to see people suffering (and dying) so needlessly. It is very underdiagnosed! I read a pamphlet once I found at the VA emergency room that as many as 1 in 5 people in the US are allergic or sensitive to "wheat proteins". That's a LOT of people. I live mostly on freshly cooked meat, leafy greens, and fresh and fresh frozen veggies. I don't eat bread or ANY grain products anymore except for some rice, corn and occasionally legumes. It's a life style. :-) People often say to me, "I could never live like that"--- a diet absent of wheat, rye and barley that is. We ate at Applebee's the other day due to a power outage and no other places having power. Salad was the only thing they had that I could eat and most of the dressing was out of the question too. Oops! I'll have to watch the dressings! That's one I missed. Right now I'm using mostly a vinegar and oil with herbs. I make my own here at home but often used bottled ones at work. My favorite dressing is plain lime mayo. ;-d All their chicken is bagged & brined with wheat-tainted mixtures. Very common nowadays. :-( And their ground beef is mixed with TVP which often has wheat. I'm so glad my local grocery store has fresh ground beef daily! We rarely eat out anymore so that helps a lot too. Most of the food is so WAY oversalted! Even my sister agrees with me so I prepped food here at home then we cooked "in" for her last birthday. We had bacon wrapped steaks and shrimp/mushroom/bacon kebabs, with fresh green salad. Most everything else is pre-breaded. The waitress said to me, "I could never live on your diet." And all I could think was how awful the Applebee's food/menu was! Heh! :-) I feel ya! Breaded meat is a travesty for health in many ways. -- Peace! Om "If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." --Mark Twain |
