Um, what? I googled it, and walnuts and pineapple are listed as low or undetermined relationships with latex:

Never had a reaction to latex, as far as I know.

@sprout, do you have birch pollen allergies or peach allergy? It seems that there is cross-reactivity between these and walnuts.

My dog has advanced arthritis of the spine. She hates her acupuncture treatments, but afterwards she is able to jump in the car and climb stairs. My vet/acupuncturist has plenty of other happy dog clients. I believe there is an observable physiological benefit to the treatments or I wouldn't be driving to Parsippany and shelling out $75 every two weeks. And I'll keep doing it until someone convinces me that my dog is experiencing the placebo effect.davidfrazer said:
As Offit notes in the book I referred to above, there is absolutely no scientific basis for acupuncture while there is a real placebo effect associated with it. It is postulated that the therapeutic setting combined with a caring, comforting clinician rather than needles more or less randomly stuck in your skin is what causes the effect.

Fact is, the serious doctor-scientists at serious institutions who are the big experts have done some research on non celiac gluten sensitivity and concluded that it is a real thing, although they don't fully understand it. Then again, it's fairly recent that they have begun to understand the mechanism of celiac, as well as the scope of the damage it causes. I assume that over time the scientific community's understanding of celiac will continue to evolve based on research. As will the understanding of the physiological cause of non celiacs gluten sensitivity. So while this father of a child with biopsy-diagnosed celiac and husband of a wife with nonceliac gluten sensitivity agrees that there are people jumping on the bandwagon who will get no benefit from a gf diet at great expense (believe me on this one) it is inaccurate and inconsistent with the current science to portray nonceliac gluten sensitivity as "woo" whatever the hell you mean by that. If you are more comfortable believing the earth is flat, be my guest. But tossing around phrases like "gluten free scam" makes it that much more difficult to get people to take my daughter'a very real disease seriously and that much harder for her to make her way in the world, because your disclaimer notwithstanding, people who read articles about the "gluten free scam" generally don't absorb the disclaimer.

There is really no scientific basis to conclude that gluten is harmful to people who don't have celiac or a confirmed allergy. That is an exceedingly small number of people.
I'm pretty sure I'm immune. I mean, I've never made tea out of it or anything, but my backyard is pretty well covered and I've never had so much as a bump.Freeway said:
Say the word poison ivy and i get it. Apparently mangos have a similar chemical near their core and handling the bark of a mango tree can cause the same reaction as handling poison ivy. People who grew up near mango groves in places like the philippines can be immune to poison ivy. Pretty awesome. Sorry for the drift
