Some friends and I were talking the other day about food allergies. We all agreed that growing up and even into our adult years we never heard of or knew anybody allergic to peanuts.

I think that is because few people had access to peanuts, there was peanut butter or seperate peanuts, now they are in so many things. more than you realize.
IT is the same with wheat it used to be in your bread products and your mom would use it in gravy but now it is in most packaged foods. you would be surprised how much stuff it is in.
and our diet now adays is loaded actually overloaded with it. And chemicals I wonder if people realize how much chemicals they get in their soda and packaged food.. I think they would be stunned and that doesn't even count the pesticide chemicals sprayed on our food.
I suspect that the longevity that has been increasing in humans over the years will start decreasing from all the stuff we are now carrying around in our bodies.
Interesting. I'll be starting allergy testing in February to try and get a grip on asthma which has been out of control for several months. Also have bouts of excema etc, and arthritis in knees, but pain comes aand goes.
We already know about some food allergies, all tree related(have lot of tree allergies). Will be good to find out.

The excema may alleviate as you get further and further from having had wheat I know the patches I had of it cleared up I had these small patches of it on my arms and legs not bad like some people get.... but that is all gone.
Be sure to buy the unscented laundry soap if you can it really helps.
I use arm and hammer myself... it is awesome. even with the perfumed stuff it doesn't irritate my skin at all!
Don't know anything about gluten allergy, but I am pretty sure that a lot of allergies today come from too much insecticide, fertiliser, growth hormones, etc, that are sprayed on or around stuff.
Also, people are getting bigger (height and girth) - I figure, if you stuff an animal (especially poultry) with things to make it grow quicker, that growth hormone HAS to be within the meat when eaten - hence it will affect growth in top predators (human beings). A particularly good reason for eating less meat and more vegs, and home-growing what you can.
Good to hear your news, Kimberley.
Bramble, hope your tests reveal something that you can eliminate from diet simply and effectively.
I used to have some real fits with sinus/allergy. Capping and taking cayenne pepper put an end to all of that among other things.
Local honey, raw as can be and taken at a tablespoon once or twice a day works wonders for allergies. I have two friends that spent an insane amount of money on doctors, prescriptions and surgeries because of allergies. They were allergic to pine trees. They started on doses of local honey a couple of years ago and as of today are no longer troubled. Now, they take a tablespoon 3 times a week. You ought to hear them once they get on their soapbox about honey and how it cured their allergies. I tell them they are candidates for an infomercial.
Later in his life, my Dad found out that he was allergic to wheat (probably to the gluten). So, soybean-based spaghetti (looked a lot like extruded plastic), and RYE WHISKEY!
