The wheat & dairy & mental health experiment

Today i go see Dr C.

I itch.

I haven't taken the powerful Allegra in days. I've a bit of rhinitis and some discomfort.

I'm not exactly looking forward to the appointment. Christine and i discovered the Contadina tomato paste she likes has wheat in it, which means i've had small doses of wheat throughout the month. She made a soup with it at the beginning of the month, and i froze small portions of it which i use with other frozen veggies for lunch. And the day i flared was after having the gluten free pizza crust coated with a pizza sauce she made from the same paste.

So, i don't know how much of a difference this bit of gluten makes. Is a sensitivity response linear with the trigger? Then my current reaction is pretty much pre-test "normal" and while the potential trigger has nearly gone away. On the other hand, if it's not linear, but binary, reacting or not-reacting, i have inadvertently challenged. Or it's the back to work stress that triggered some of the psoriasis.
