All you need to do is to have one colonic irrigation session to remove the build up of plaque, this will wipe out any toxins. I still think this is the best thing to do if you develop allergies. Since my brother has been having colonic irrigation regularly, his fish allergy has disappeared.

Bloody hell someone else who'sbought into that con, there's still money to be made in shit rinsing.

i've pretty much sussed out that i'm wheat or gluten intolerant -

Me too, despite having been told by an (now ex) GP that "there's no such thing as food intolerance. You're either allergic from birth or you're not." This arse obviously hadn't met any of the large percentage of coeliacs who develop the disease in middle age.

Anyway, rant over. I also find that my symptoms tend to subside if I cut down on the wheat. I don't remove it entirely, although I haven't eaten pasta for ages as it seems to set me off immediately (and I can't stand the non-wheat substitutes I've tried - it's like eating cardboard).

I actually quite like that 'german style' rye bread (dark brown, heavy, really thin slices) which is lucky. I don't eat it all the time though - I find that I can eat ordinary wheaty stuff (pasta excepted) for a while, then have to back off it a bit if things start getting a bit bloaty etc.

One school of thought is that the symptoms (and intolerance) could be caused by an underlying candida overgrowth. Checking it out on the web it seems that all my symptoms fit, and I've had the issues recur over many years. Currently trying one remedy to see whether that helps at all - it's always best to try only one thing at a time for a month or so to gauge whether there are any benefits, whether it's cutting out an ingredient or trying a new diet/remedy.

There are quite a few links to producers of gluten free stuff on the UK Coeliac Society pages, if you're interested.

I'm really intolerant to gluten and when I live alone I find I'm fine cos I can stop eating whatever and be as faddy as I like, but now I live with my bf I find it hard to deny him glutenous foods occasionally (like tonight as it's his birthday and wants pizza for tea). I have found through trial and error that my body manages the gluten onslaught much better if I eat a high fibre diet, it's pretty tough to manage if you cut out wheat so I've has to start eating brown rice daily, but it's really helping.

Good luck to everyone who's cutting out gluten, it's tough but if you're in the UK you can read the labels on foods and buy heaps of gluten-free products. Unlike here in Korea where I just have to live off rice and vegetables.
