Everywhere I turn on the POTS facebook pages or blogs I see people telling me to go gluten free. It was even in the information I read about Adrenal Glands. After the thousandth message I figured it must be coming close to a sign from above. I'm going to try it out.
I actually committed to it 5 days ago. So far, I haven't made it one full day. I'm committed and really really want to, but gluten is everywhere. I'm reading The Wheat Belly by William R. Davis. It's very good at explaining it so us scientific minded folk will believe it and not think it's just some new fad soon to fade.

We've made the stalk shorter to help support the larger, shaft-less grain. We've made something all together different entirely. On top of that, we add yeast to make it rise.
That's about as far as I have gotten, but like it already. Here's a sample of what we had for dinner:
