Unless you > feel that wheat and corn are potentially-threatening substances? 8) Hmmm ... I did a little more digging around and found an authoratative-sounding definition ... "Food allergy is an immunological reaction to food proteins. Food intolerance is a pharmacological reaction (like the side effects of a drug) to the chemicals in foods." http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/factsheets/Factallergy.htm So I think that at least some of your proposed "food allergies" are in fact just the same as traditional "pollen allergies", but there are other categories of problems with foods that are definately different. So we're both right :-) -jim
