Jan, I know your pain w/ all these allergies. Have you heard about leaky-gut syndrome? I have this, but at its root, I now firmly believe I have Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. If I can fix my gut, many of the foods I’m currently ‘allergic’ to, like you, I will be able to eat again (sans the gluten-containing foods). You might check into it. I have a great book called The Food Intolerance Bible that I got on Amazon. It’s very helpful.

I miss making a good sandwich. The Brown Rice yeast-free bread I am using now is completely tasteless. Is there such a thing as a good Yeast-free sandwich bread????
