Re: How many of you are allergic to gluten?

i was wondering something that maybe you all can help answer...

i also suspect that i have a severe wheat sensitivity, and it manifests in the form of white bumps and Acne around the mouth area. i've pretty much cut wheat out of my diet, but i continue to take a very potent wheatgrass juice powder blend (kamut, barley, oat grasses) 1-2x per day. i would think that wheat, even in this pure, potent form, is wheat and will still aggravate my acne, maybe even worse so than a whole-wheat piece of bread.

does anyone have any suggestions/advice/experience with this? i feel like i'm finally turning the corner on my Acne condition, but i've been using wheatgrass heavily for the last year and i have had a lot of little, oily plugs develop in my pores and the aforementioned white bumps that eventually become inflamed and form red Acne bumps.

also of note - i actually got a response from dr loren cordain about this question; he said that the lectins in wheatgrass juice could be as damaging as the lectins found in wheat, cereal grasses, beans, etc and so best to avoid them. i'd love to know of anyone else's experience with this issue, and some alternatives as well...
