It was in my mid-50s that I discovered that I was allergic to wheat. I was suffering from bronchitis and a persistent cough, when a Japanese acquaintance living in the U.S. recommended the diet recommended by Dr. Peter D'Adamo in his Blood Type Diet. What I found there was to change to a mainly gluten-free diet. In the past, when I traveled abroad to Europe and the United States for more than a decade, I made an effort to eat as little bread made from wheat as possible and instead devised an effort to eat oatmeal, which I did not find tasty.
After following the diet recommended by Dr. Peter D'Adamo for about a year, my severe cough improved considerably. However, the dietary restrictions during this period were painful.
In recent years, the Japanese diet has become much more Westernized, and as a result, the number of children with allergies has increased. One of my niece's four children, a boy in kindergarten, has recently been diagnosed with a gluten allergy. I sent her rice flour with vegetable powders, and she started making homemade waffles for him instead of bread, and he reports that his allergy is getting better. The other siblings also love them because they are colorful and tasty. Next, they are trying bread made from rice flour.
In Japan, there are vegetables that have been said to bring good health if eaten for a long time. They are burdock root and lotus root. These vegetables are great for intestinal activity and are easily available in Japan, but are difficult to find overseas, so we have decided to sell them in powder form. If you are interested in reading this blog, please give them a try.
