bruccio10's Profile

by process of elimination and in consultation with an allergist at Lahey Clinic, I've determined that something in the bleaching and/or bromating process affects flour so that I am allergic -- causing wheezing at times and nasal and sinus troubles (too ugly to describe here) -- as well as occasional skin rashes on the face. I wonder whether any systematic studies have been made to see if there is a casual link between bleached flour and the rise of allergies -- asthma in particular? I doubt it, because the allergist at Lahey was dumbfounded when he had to confirm that my process of elimination diet showed this up.
