I stopped eating wheat a long time ago. I started reacting to it as far back as the mid-eighties, with huge swollen pimples on my back. But, I found I could contol the reactions with an allergy rotation diet- i.e. eating wheat only every four days or so.

But then the reactions got really bad in the early noughties, now, the reaction was palm-sized red, itchy wheals on my torso and arthritis, as well as irrational behavioural changes. So it was just a matter of swearing wheat off completely (and oats and rye and barley).

Yesterday I was offered some fancy Danishes, and I didn't even need to think about it. NO.
