Wehn you are next over in the UK Enidd, perhaps the three of us (I assume that I am invited of course, as I have invited myself!) could get together and try out all organic and alternative types of wine that we can lay our hands on. That should with any luck do the trick Alice. With such a sledgehammer approach you may even be rid of your allergy, and if not you can have a great time finding out?!!sallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-19934603208675630032007-09-06T07:53:00.000-07:002007-09-06T07:53:00.000-07:00oo, alice, and it almost sounds as if you're enjoy...oo, alice, and it almost sounds as if you're enjoying it. the only enjoyment in enidd's lonely working day is that glass of red wine (or fake fizz) at the end of it. have you tried a few different varieties to see if it's a particular yeast you're allergic too? or organic wine, in case it's some of the chemicals? if enidd was there, she'd offer to help in your quest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-46955756112356908822007-09-05T23:45:00.000-07:002007-09-05T23:45:00.000-07:00Broker - toilet cleaning, breakfast lunch and dinn...Broker - toilet cleaning, breakfast lunch and dinner, packed lunches, cleaning, shopping, bed making, story reading, mediator and taxi driver: my life is rich and full.Alice Bandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164647540449246344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-9433292687641125912007-09-05T15:46:00.000-07:002007-09-05T15:46:00.000-07:00No bread, or wine or lovers - what is left?No bread, or wine or lovers - what is left?Brokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257041081671361072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-10350331846912130302007-09-05T06:58:00.000-07:002007-09-05T06:58:00.000-07:00Or rye bread is reasonably cheap and not too disgu...Or rye bread is reasonably cheap and not too disgusting...sallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-76083413708201891472007-09-05T06:02:00.000-07:002007-09-05T06:02:00.000-07:00Just a thought- They do make wheat-free bread (I t...Just a thought- They do make wheat-free bread (I think it's very expensive, but if you're the only one eating it, it may be worth it for you!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380426883369877871.post-71972763976508799392007-09-05T05:27:00.000-07:002007-09-05T05:27:00.000-07:00Thankyou one and all for the advice.

If so then the bread would be a good thing to give up. Ironically I can't drink gin really.

I know that I am healthier without, but life is so short............<BR/><BR/>Have you thought about an alternative therapist though?
