My wife developed gluten intolerance as an adult. I don't exactly understand how that happened, but for whatever reason it did. She gets sick to her stomach now if she eats and gluten-based bread, pasta, or ???? It sounds hokey to me too guys, but I can tell you she sure feels a lot better if she keeps it out of her diet. The only food allergy I have is to tree nuts. Peanuts are just fine, and I love 'em, but tree nuts can make me sick enough to be a serious concern.
I worked in a clinic where one of the surgical nurses was so allergic to peanuts, she'd have a bad reaction just from smelling them. I swear the whole peanut allergy thing is a relatively "new" thing, as I never remember them taking these sweeping steps to keep peanuts away from everyone in school, or at work.
