    I would so like to be put in touch with  "The anonymous submitter who is a vegetarian"  so that I may ask for specifics on what she does eat.  Am also vegetarian and have trouble with most diets.  Need to lose a lot of abdominal fat.  If you can assist please pass on my email address.   slogroveATshaw.ca

    I found your article very interesting. I have had to remove grain feed from my horses since two of them suffered cushing's disease! I will apply the same to my eating habits now and avoid wheat. Many thanks for such an interesting article.

    The one thing I was not prepared for when I stopped eating wheat was that my bowel function also stopped. I should add that I have eated only whole grains for several years, and I believe that the severe decrease in fiber caused the problem. Happily, I am back to normal function now, but I have resumed my consumption of wheat.Undecided
