My entire life I have had patches of dry cracking skin in limited locations all over my body. The locations have generally occurred only one place at a time. They are as follows:
- At first when a child it was on the top surface of my feet right where the shoe goes over the outside
- knees
- crotch of baseball glove hand in web between thumb and forefinger
- elbows
- knuckles
- pads / tips of most used finger surfaces / cuticle of same finger around outside edge of nails. — killer hang nails!
- palm of hand
I went to doctors over the years. They were for the most part no help at all. Doctors are for the most part ignorant idiots. The last doctor at least gave me corticosteroids. That provided relief but did not cure anything.
After my first several trips to Brazil I noticed that my allergies were much less there. I did not know why. In late 2008 I started cooking more beans because they are cheap and they are good. I inadvertently stopped eating wheat products almost totally. To my amazement the painful dry skin cracking skin on my hands went away.
At this time I was jogging. When I was eating wheat products I noticed my lungs would get tight. After I cut out wheat completely from my diet and what happened? The lungs stopped getting tight. Added benefit? I lost 12 lbs without exercising much. Most of that would have occured due to sleeping better and that I tend to eat more meat and not many filler carbohydrates.
The food in the USA is terrible and the diet is filled with cheap filler carbohydrates to try and sell you something when you go to a restaurant.

Thank you for sharing. This is very interesting, I will give it a try.
Do give it a try. If you have an allergy to gluten you are in for a real treat. I’m feeling better then I have in a long time!
