I can't think of anything helpful to suggest, but I just wanted to send some good thoughts your way! Pauliina

I play recorder, and I have gotten more careful about trying other people's recorders for sure. But I don't think the risk from the things you describe is all that big really, if you've replaced the old reeds. If a reed had some beer residue on it, I still don't think a lot of it would have gotten...

I haven't got any experience with this... a glutening can make me feel cut off from the outside world, but not from myself. Is this how you have been feeling lately?

And eat some protein at every meal. Gluten is a protein after all, if you leave it out, I figure something has to come...
