BTW I'm going wheat free for 2 weeks. My massage therapist thinks I might be allergic. Today's day 3 and my muscles do feel much looser. She said something about histamines in all grains, but especially in wheat, that can effect muscles. I thought she was nuts but she was so right about cutting down on dairy so I figured I give this a chance. I've been eating breads made from millet flower and brown rice flower. The breads are good but real heavy. 2 pieces is too much so I've been eating open sandwiches. Pumpernickle(sp?) and rye are all right but I haven't found any without preservatives yet. Wheat glutten was my main source of protein but now I'll have to rely beans and bean products.
