It is all wheat my family needs to avoid, white and whole wheat, wheat germ, etc. I get to learn to cook with rice flour, soy flour, masa harina (corn flour) and others that are even stranger. yippee. I could do the whole wheat thing much easier.

Luckily I enjoy a challenge and baking - although usually not together. I wouldn't mind it too much if meals were taken care of but I have to figure out meals too.

Anyway, I actually tested positive for an allergy to wheat (and eggs, chicken, milk and bananas and maybe a couple other things) but the dr told me it would be too hard to eliminate it all and to just not worry about any of it. I did try to eliminate it all but after 2 days I was thinking of eating the paneling off the wall so I gave up on it (this was 13 years ago). I have since heard that he was a bit of a quack so I don't know.

ooh we'll pray for you! NOT like sweet tea???? tisk tisk! :) That's about the ONLY thing I get sugar from :)

Seriously though, I've noticed the bloating after eating you're talking about but mine's the opposite. Since DS's were diagnosed diabetic, we ONLY have wheat products (including pasta & rice) in the house & so we're used to eating wheat. When I eat out & get "white" flour products IT HURTS!!!!!
