To MamaG:
Some people also have an allergy to wheat or other gluten containing foods. We've recently discovered, through blood tests, that my son has a "high" allergy to milk, a "medium" allergy to wheat and a "low" allergy to egg white. Not intolerance, but allergy, resulting in hives, skin lesions, abdominal pain, etc. It took many months of visits to bewildered doctors to figure this out. Rather than a fad, this may indeed be helping the undiagnosed. It is, however, a change not to be taken lightly, as it will be difficult to maintain a healthy diet with apropriate amounts of protein, fiber and other key nutrients.
