Hi!
Does anyone need to eat a diet free of gluten (usually wheat and barley based food)? I have suffered from severe sinusitis for years due to polyps inflammed by allergies. A friend at work a few months ago suggested I try eating a gluten free diet since I had tried everything short of surgery for two years to no avail. No sense of taste or smell and one sinus infection after another.
I was amazed when 4 days into this kind of eating I was breathing through my nose!! Imagine that. Now, three months later, it's as if I have no polyps and have barely had the sniffles much less a sinus infection. I've also regained my sense of tast and smell again-what a sensation that was!!
So I've learned a lot about eating this way. I'd be happy to share with anyone who's interested.
Shanti :D
