Yeah, it's something like that. I used to eat fresh fre3nch bread like a
hog, and it would get to me. Now, after staying mostly clean for a year
or so, I can eat small amounts of wheat with no ill effects. Lots
(although not unlimited) of spelt, so I didn't have to entirely give up
on good bread, I just had to learn to bake it!
