Pollen, peanuts, dust mites and animal dander are just a few of the many possible triggers for sneezing, wheezing or hives. During the fall, millions of people suffer from seasonal rhinitis, more commonly known as hay fever. What can be done to relieve their misery? How can allergic symptoms be prevented?

I was listening to your show on 9/1, when a woman called in and indicated that her allergies went away when she maintained a gluten-free diet. I have found the same to be true for me. I had battled allergies for most of my life. I was also diagnosed with lupus about 10 years ago. Since eating a gluten-free diet for the last two years, I have been essentially allergy free. In the last 9 months I have had NO lupus symptoms and have completely eliminated any prescription medicines. I feel that gluten is toxic for me and will eat gluten free for the rest of my gluten-free and HEALTHY life.
As a side note, my teenage son was just diagnosed as having celiac disease. I am hoping that his new found gluten-free life will eliminate his allergies as well.
