and all the doc could come up with was Fibromyalgia, I had 2 docs who more or less said there was nothing they could do.
Mr. Dixie happened to hear an NPR discussion of adult symptoms of celiac disease, they pretty well matched mine, so I stopped eating wheat, and my various symptoms gradually went away over 6 months, after several years of getting worse.
so.....perhaps co-incidence.
During that time I had done a lot of reading about how the wheat we eat has been hybridized to contain very high amounts of gluten compared to wheat strains of even 100 years ago.
Which also goes for corn, it now is a very GMO product.
today I am more comfortable eating mostly Chinese and Mex type foods, do a lot of stir frying, Mr. Dixie cooks killer Mex dishes.

currently, we are about 70% vegetarian, small amounts of chicken and pork occasional beef ( organic).
Rarely do we eat processed foods.
