Millet

[angst2amity]

I tried organic whole grain millet today and had a "intolerance" response. I am beginning to realize that perhaps my villi are gone so I can not tolerate any sugars or starches but I had my usual new response. Intense headache, 99.1 fever, flushing, whole body sweat almost 1/2 later exactly.

Anyone normally have a problem with millet?

I did an isotonic saltwater flush afterwards to try to get it out of my system, anyone ever do that - Does is help?

I just mildly intolerant to millet so I can tolerate it as long as it's in small quantities. I don't actually eat it but I do use part millet flour in my bread. I don't have the same reactions as you do though.

I can't seem to tolerate millet or sorghum. Don't know why.

I'm okay with millet -- my acupuncturist actually recommended it for stomach issues since it's supposed to be very healing according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, until I found it in a package, the only source I could find was in the bulk bin at my local grocers -- which made me suspicious of cross-contamination since it was right next to the wheat flours. I generally haven't had a problem with bulk rice, since I can easily wash it, but the millet made me nervous because the grains were too small to be held in any of my kitchen sieves and I wasn't sure how to effectively wash it.

Millet accually showed up as an allergy at my naturalpathic on a test. I tested it with some gluten free banana bread. Oh boy I had some very bad tighting in the chest for a few hours. I also get that feeling if I get glutened by certain things. I have notice it before with salad dressing.

I had the same reactions all of the time. I found that it was not a certain food but my salicylate level. Once I have too much I get the sweats fever and migrane headaches. I'm sure that's what is is for me. We are all different.
