wheat in different countries

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine has a daughter with Down Syndrome, who's wheat intolerant.

It's difficult to restrict grains in her diet, but at least at home she

gets almond flour breads and sometimes commercial gluten-free breads. My

friend says:

" When I was really concentrating on the wheat/gluten issue, K was getting

boils and also constipated and my instinct connected that with the wheat

stuff. But when we went to England for three-week hitches we couldn't get

the rice breads and such so she had bread all the time and it didn't seem

to bother her at all.

My instinct then suggested that there might be something different about

bread there than here - though I never figured out what. Maybe the

fungicides they spray on the grains or whatever else gets done to them? "

Anyone have experiences along this line?
