As a child I was the typical snotty nosed kid...not snotty as in in bad mood, but a head full of mucous and a tendency to mouth breathe. I made the connection between dairy and getting a snotty nose from a very young age and avoided excessive amounts of dairy products as a result. My Mum always suspected I had an issue with wheat too, based on the dark circles under my eyes, despite sleeping like an Olympic sport as most teenagers do!
From time to time I would not eat wheat, such as having a go at whatever new way of eating my Mum was learning about at the time, such as food combining with 'Fit for Life', or Sandra Cabot's, 'Liver Cleansing diet', or just going wheat free. It was my curiosity to do this and not my Mum's idea, and each time I did 'the diet' , I always felt a lot better. My eyes looked better, I had less gas, was able to breathe through my nose, and had less nasal mucous. I would also lose weight which is not unremarkable. I was always on the slightly bigger side as a teenager and my weight became more of an issue in my early twenties when I was a good 20kg heavier than I should have been.
