> I believe they also suffered from a lot of high estrogen as a side

effect of the high amount of gluten that they used to eat, but

that's another story.

----> Heidi where do you find all this Egyptian info?????

Also this is interesting ....please tell more on this story! I'm

very iterested in the link between high estrogen and gluten. Is that

a reaction to the gluten or the gliadin or both?

Diane,

the actual reason may be different but I find the most common reason

for ANY problems people have when removing grains is that grains are

calorically dense meaning it doesn't take a lot of bread to get a lot

of calories. Many folk will remove grains and if grain is a major

part of their diet will not replace those grains with an ample amount

of other foods. ie. most people can eat lots more pasta than they

can eat steak. Its not purely a caloric thing but the correct words

are eluding me. Point is you might want to make sure you are getting

enough food. I hope this helps.
