no wheat

Well, my allergies have calmed down a bit (knock on wood). I am actually feeling 100% better than I was before. I can breathe, my sinuses are completely filled and pounding away at my head, my eyes aren't so itchy, and I don't sneeze 10 times in a row, all day long. What has turned it all around? Well, my chiropractor and acupuncturist suggested I not eat any wheat while I am having allergies. At first I dismissed what they said. I mean, I have always eaten wheat and it hasn't bothered me before. But since I was feeling so lousy, I was willing to give anything a try. Guess what? I do feel better, allergies aside, I just feel better. My skin also looks a lot better. I don't think I can completely cut out wheat forever, I mean, I L.O.V.E. pasta, bread, and baked goods, but cutting back hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. Instead of a wheat tortilla, I have corn. Instead of pasta, I've been making more brown rice, barley, and quinoa. It has been a week and a half now. My allergies last until about the end of February, so I think I can make it until then!
