[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 527651, member: 84"] I've long suspected that auto-immune disorders, many allergies.......ect are directly related to what goes into our food supply even long before we ever see it. (not just processing to prevent spoilage but before that.......genetically altered grains, livestock fed those altered grains......not to mention the antibiotics, hormones, ect ect) I have recently found via some research some very disturbing information. Some even more disturbing info from more local farmers. And while I've never been huge on the whole "go organic" thing.........(one reason is the cost can be outrageous), Let's just say I'm more than a tad PEEVED off that the govt has this national campaign toting how utterly unhealthy cigarettes are, when our food supply is unsafe to put into our mouths. Smoking is a choice, food you don't have a choice, you have to eat. easy child and I really started looking into the food supply due to Brandon's chronic diarrhea issues. He also has chronic skin issues, as does Connor. Aubrey used to but hers seems to have finally gone away for the most part. I will be really happy when I harvest and can my own garden. It's somewhat unnerving to easily find facts to back up your suspicions. I can't really afford to go "organic" per se, it's just too expensive to buy in stores. (and you still have to be careful of what you buy) But at least we've found a local butcher we'll be checking out.......and found a local organic co-op for fruits and veggies until ours ripens. (greenhouses) The co-op is more expensive (not as bad as the store except on eggs), but we won't be using them that much out of the year to matter. I'd try the gluten free diet. And maybe Loth can tell you, I'm still researching gluten, but from what I'm gathering.......it appears that if it's an "organic" source, people aren't reacting to it, or if they are it is a MUCH smaller amount.
