A round up from the newspapers - Hughes Syndrome A...

I have been compelled to purchase, cart and drink bottled water ( then take the plastic containers to the recycling center) for years. I consulted with my local water supplier to try to identify the ingredient I'm sensitive to, but after eliminating all the "cheap to test for possibilities," I chose not to pursue more testing which would likely reveal the presence of something which home filters can not erase, and which only effects me. ( I was, after all, born and raised in a Southern West Virginia coal camp and my local water supplier draws from a river whose upstream water washes coal. So it seems likely that I have developed a sensitivity to some coal related chemical that does not bother others who were not fortunate to share my coal camp childhood. )

It was nice to read that I'm not the only one.

it lists potatoes as a food that contains gluten

I was sure that potatoes were ok

No potatoes are fine, it is a badly written article, it is good to see what is out there though, MaryF

Thank you Mary!

Re "the pill" and depression;

"un unwanted pregnancy far outweighs all the other side effects that could occur from a contraceptive-pill" - then they have forgotten APS (Sticky Blood).

Yes there is still a lot of work to be done regarding that. MaryFx
