I tested negative for wheat allergies and celiac. However, every time I
consume items that contain gluten, I end up with a reddish ruff skin on my
hands, knees and face the next day. When I do not eat gluten my skin clears
up. This started in my thirties, I never had this problem as a kid. I think
it is genetic engineering of wheat products. I want labeling laws that
state if the food source are engineered.

It just seems too many people are having some disorder with wheat. People
did not have this in the past. Just my opinion. I want better food labeling
laws.
