Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 684 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by NOF1 Poor accommodations The accommodations at this hotel are poor. I had to change rooms because of a leaky shower which followed a night of no sleep because of thin walls and a very noisy neighbor. When I moved into the new room, I noted hair in the bathtub and requested housekeeping come and clean the bathroom. This did not occur. I did not change rooms again as I figured this was the quality of the hotel and I was not going to get better. April 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Donnn Not quite up to par The location, the staff, restaurant food were very good. Though service in the restaurant was frustratingly relaxed, the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. My hesitation to recommend this hotel to a friend is not about those things. My room (and those of others I spoke with) was wracked by mechanical noises. Though the elevator alcove was at least 20 feet from my door, the constant whishing of the passing elevator cars was a distraction within my room. Worse, though, was the constantly repeating racket of what sounded like a fan with a bad bearing. Or a gas mower. It would run for five to fifteen seconds at a time, repeating on and off every minute or so throughout the day and night. About the SPG Recognition item above: what are you asking? It is not a question. November 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Abby33 Check in My check-in was delayed almost 2 hours. After a long flight the last thing a person wants to do is sit in your lobby waiting for a room. They said it was due to late check-outs from the Jazz Festival. Better staffing schedules may have helped during your busy time (the festival was a planned event). I will say your housekeeping staff was very friendly and professional! Good conference venue. May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pat55 Fabulous Hotel I celebrated my 55th BDay 5-9 Sept. I will never forget. First let me thank the great staff especially Jenee' & Monette front desk, Del Pelican Lounge & Josh manager. Now to my hotel room. Words cannot describe. All I can say is Impeccable. I had view of The Mississippi;odd number rooms has city view. I left my shutter blinds open all night . I love that you have shutter blinds & not curtains. I didn't miss the frig & microwave. It keep the room cleaner & free of bugs. I plan to stay with you Essence Fest 2014 September 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by E021 Did not know what to expect The lobby and employees all exude welcome. The rooms are well sized, cleaned and lit. The room service personnel were helpful in every way. When in New Orleans, this is the hotel for me. And I've already told my friends that. May 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sandman228 Very nice Hotel The Sheraton New Orleans is a very nice Hotel. Only two issues kept us from giving a higher Star rating. 1) Doors on our floor are way too loud when closing. Being in a tourist area with guests coming/going at all times of the day/night, the room doors need added padding or better closures by which to eliminate the constant slamming by most guest. 2) The elevator system, although a great attempt at moving guest in a speedy manner, appear to slow travel to/from your floor. Room was very clean and nice. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by stans More restaurant choices My daughter and I were at your hotel for a dance convention and the weather was horrible to go and walk to get something to eat. The only choices in your hotel were room service or the bar downstairs. Needless to say, the bar was packed with people. Other than that, it is a great hotel. May 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JackRyan Did not get value for money, disappointed Toilet was not cleaned properly when I first walked into the room, had to flush it off myself. Trash box was in the hallway, right by the main door and I would have tripped. Most times, during both day and night, I had to wait for a long time to be seen by someone at the check-in desk and even the concierge. I don't think I will stay here again, pretty disappointed. April 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Snapper08 Communication is a must I recently visited the New Orleans Sheraton for the American Dental Association conference. My first time at this Sheraton. After Check-in, I enter my room to find an unclean room. Initially, I was fearful because I thought the room was occupied. Not a wonderful first impression. Took about 20 min to get the situation in order. Could not stay on the club level floor, due to no other king rooms. I appreciate the bottle of wine given. But, I feel these types of mistakes should not occur in a Sheraton. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MFG8888 The Sheraton at Mardi Gras We had a wonderful time staying at the Sheraton on Canal Street for the weekend before Mardi Gras. The facility and staff are first rate, and the location is perfect. Access to our vehicle was always prompt; checkout on Sunday morning, while chaotic at other hotels in the area, was very fast and smooth. My only complaint was the charge for internet access. We paid premium rates for this time block and a minimum stay; loading internet fees on top of this is just a bit greedy. March 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CJS1998 Hotel is centrally located. Love the floor to ceiling windows! I enjoyed my stay although it was only for one night. If you do not like street noise I recommend bringing ear plugs. I was on the 45th floor and had a great view of the city. May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Very nice stay I was sort of hesitant about this hotel after reading some of the reviews...but I can honestly say most of the reviews on here are not correct. The hotel was very nice, the room was clean and also very comfortable. The only negative I have about this stay is the buffet breakfast price...it was almost $50 for 2 breakfast buffets...that was crazy in my opinion...very OVER priced...but other than that...I would stay here again, and find another place to go eat for breakfast! February 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cwujd1 Nice Remodeling; Restaurant needs work I was here several years ago and it's completely different now. The lobby space is very open and inviting. I particularly liked the art on the inside and outside of the building. The restaurant was a big disappointment in this great food town. We stopped in for a quick lunch and were met with a very small menu, especially for one of us with wheat and other allergies. We became optimistic upon reading a note at the bottom of the menu describing the "great pride" they took in accommodating guests with gluten sensitivities. When we asked what the choices were, the server went went back to check with the kitchen and came back to inform us that "only the trout" was gluten free. I'm sorry -- that doesn't count as "accommodating." They should take that note off the menu. We left and ate elsewhere. September 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NOLA13 Better than I expected The hotel was better than I expected. It was beautiful, clean and conveniently located. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by conference27 A big corporation should be good with 2 reservations room nice,comfy beds,very clean. + green rewards. Great location. staff friendly. work conference then decided to stay extra night with my dad to sight see (two reservations). His name on second reservation. But the front desk would not check him in, maybe misunderstood 2nd res. So we got it sorted out, another two nights keep us in same room obviously. If in computer should be good, so why next morning I have to remind front desk again? staff not clear on where use green rewards for also. October 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tracy22 Very nice hotel I went to the service desk with a complaint. I was told, they would leave a message on my phone because I was leaving the premises. When I returned, I did not have a message on my machine. Very disappointed... May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barrik Excellent Service, Quality Experience The Sheraton New Orleans demonstrates how well a "service forward" philosophy works when executed at every level. Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure or both - you are assured a quality experience. The SPG Club is also one of the best managed in the Starwood network. May 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by goose22 Might as well been in a motel Check in was easy. The elevator system wasn't explained and I had to seek someone to help me. You have to pay for internet service and it was slow and not available when I was attending my conference in the same building! The room had no sound proofing. I listened to the TV next door, the ice machine and other patrons in the hallway, the alarm on the person below me. Oh and there was a prong stuck in an outlet. April 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DenMother 2nd visit wasn't as nice as the first I stayed in the New Orleans Sheraton a few months ago and had a wonderful experience. My second visit wasn't as nice. There weren't enough outlets in my room. Although the night stand by the bed was equipped with built in outlets, the cord to make the work wasn't long enough to reach the plug. And, most important, the water temperature was insufficient; it was lukewarm at best. I prefer a hot shower over a cold shower. On a positive note, the bartenders was friendly and helpful. December 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ConferenceGuest22 Didn't meet expectations I attended a conference in this hotel. I originally reserved a king bed room, but was placed in a double bed room. I had to wait for the room for over two hours upon arrival. The room was so small, that I couldn't easily move between the desk and one of the beds - of which I needed to use since this was a work trip. Half my outlets didn't work, and the ones that did blew a fuse any time I tried to use a hair dryer. The conference spaces were not ideal as many had to be turned away from sessions because the rooms were too small. The restaurant was only open for breakfast and lunch, which were provided by the conference, so I was forced to find food elsewhere. Transportation to and from the airport was not very convenient. Compared to other Sheraton Hotels I've stayed in, this was far below my expectations. October 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DWills Off their game I have stayed at this property before without these problems, but my one-night stay this week was marked with problems. 1) The toilet had not been cleaned since the prior guest and had old urine stains on the bowl. 2) When I asked for someone to clean this up, no one showed up the first time (after waiting 30 minutes). 3) All three coffee packets in the room were decaf. 4) I told two separate people I would be checking out around noon, yet was interrupted again after that prior to noon the morning that I left (I was on calls). 4) I had to call to have an internet access fee removed from my invoice after that was chosen that as my Gold SPG membership perk at check-in. Staff was unfailingly pleasant, but training or procedures clearly need work - this was the most hassle-ridden hotel stay I have had in years. September 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by birthday75 exceeded my expectations Each staff person we encountered went out of their way to accommodate us. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was so comfortable. Would stay there again when in New Orleans. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BULLDOG2014 QAD EXPLORE 2014 THE STAFF AND FACILITIES WERE EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONAL. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY DELAYS IN ANY REQUESTS AND SUPPORT. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY FOR VISITING NEW ORLEANS! May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Memurtz Sheraton New Orleans Everything was great except for the upgrade that I was offered for my two rooms as an ELITE GOLD MEMBER. I was charged $25.00/night additional for the upgrades that should have been for free and the WiFi didn't even respond to my computer. May 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JacobP Fine hotel, conveniently located The Sheraton New Orleans is a fine hotel, centrally located in downtown New Orleans. It's a big hotel, and New Orleans almost always has something going on during the weekends--a convention, or a festival, or whatever. That can cause the hotel to get really crowded, and feel overwhelming in the lobby. Other than that, it's a fine base for exploring an incredible city. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dnewell74 Great representation of what you should expect from Sheraton From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and professionally. We were in town for Jazz Fest and it was extremely busy and hurried. Staff made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Big smiles from everyone - from Bellman to room hostess to bartender! Room was clean and smelled fresh! April 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Camille312 Some good; some needs improvment I chose this hotel primarily because I'm SPG Gold and for its location (just outside the FQ). My biggest complaints are with the valet and bellmen. We waited entirely too long after we pulled up in the driveway for some attention...and we were the only car there. Obviously, I would have understood if it was busy, but we were literally the only ones there. I also experienced very long (20 min) waits for my car to be brought down. Eventually, it was explained that I needed to be specific if I was going to need access to my car, because they park them offsite sometimes. Thanks, but no one ever told me that, so how would I know? I was intentionally ignored when I stood in the SPG line to check in...meaning that the desk clerk kept her head down for several minutes while I just stood there. Finally one of her colleagues from the regular side stepped in to assist me. However, I did get a room that met my requests for quiet and that was much appreciated. April 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Liz3240 Great Room was great but the doors of the rooms next to mine were very loud and I could hear every time they shut. (Which seemed like a lot) May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ksgu Kudos to GLENDA! We attempted to check in early b/c my husband had a speaking engagement at the hotel at 2:30. The suite we reserved was not ready. However, Glenda (at the check-in desk) was kind to us and took pity and allowed our family to go to a regular room so my husband could get ready for his appearance. Later that day we moved to our suite. Glenda was VERY accommodating, which we all appreciated after having been in the car for 4.5 hours. Sheraton New Orleans has my business! September 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Robert10810 Business stay The room was nice and comfortable. I had plenty of room to do my work after the conferences. There was quite a bit of outside noise and the windows were dirty preventing us from enjoying our view. Overall it was a pleasant stay though. May 5, 2014

Super weird place lately…is it space or bedrock?
Trying to find some sort of foundation in something, somewhere, somehow...
Super weird place lately…is it space or bedrock?
I want you.
Even with one collapsed lung
and two broken ribs,
I know exactly how many times
love has hit me in the chest and
slammed the air out of my body — three.
Like maybe the fourth time's the charm,
and if your heart's anything like mine,
it's the shape of five fingers curled…
What words can I say
to you tonight, to
describe how home just
doesn't feel like
home anymore.
Maybe I'll find the
words in the
folds of the sheets
on an empty
but that would sound
almost poetic.
i may be drunk, i may be high, but life is truly real when you can no longer lie.

George Bailey, Australia's Twenty20 captain, believes finding bowlers who can restrict runs at the death will be one of the keys for his side over the next year as they prepare for the 2014 World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. The world tournament is just over a year away and with relatively few T20 matches coming up over the next 12 months, the Australians are already looking to build a squad as they aim to improve in last year's semi-final appearance.
One of the problems that was evident over the past two games against Sri Lanka was the leaking of runs in the final overs, despite the fact that the selectors had picked men who had specialised in death bowling during the Big Bash League. Ben Laughlin was especially expensive, leaking 20 runs in the final over at the MCG and 19 from his last five balls in the first match in Sydney as Sri Lanka chased down the target with seven deliveries to spare.

Wheat: To Eat or Not to Eat?
The Health Coach, Contributing Writer
Waking Times
That has become the question for every health enthusiast who has been hit with a barrage of conflicting reports about wheat in the diet.
Since we're dealing with the staff of life, this weighty issue must be reconciled in the minds of all concerned, especially those who are challenged by related medical conditions and health problems.
So, what is the real deal?
Let's break it down this way for those who are sick and tired because of life-long ingestion of wheat.
If you have been diagnosed with celiac sprue disease, you should positively not eat wheat or any gluten-containg grains. This medical condition requires a life-long prohibition, if one is to escape the ravages of this debilitating disease — celiac.
If you have been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity, you should not eat wheat or the associated grains like barley, rye, oats, etc. Doing so will eventually set you up for celiac sprue disease; that is, if you don't already have it. The medical diagnostics and laboratory tests for gluten sensitivity are not necessarily conclusive, by the way. Therefore a strong tendency by way of family history toward gluten sensitivity ought to take it out of your diet for life.
If you have been diagnosed with wheat intolerance, then discontinuing wheat in the diet is certainly in order. However, it is important to understand the nuance and subtlety associated with this entire field of diagnosing and remediating gluten/wheat conditions. It is not easy to thoroughly understand because of some complexities which are way beyond the scope of this coaching session.
Hence, we will take up a much more consequential matter which has recently taken the internet by storm.
There are articles, essays, books and videos which assert that eating wheat for anyone is never recommended, and will always produce a negative outcome where it concerns health. This position is the product of an incorrect understanding and highly narrow view of the role of grains in the human diet. Quite frankly, so disturbing is this gross misunderstanding that The Health Coach was compelled to write this piece.
You see, it looks like this. Once upon a time God made wheat for the benefit of humankind. In it's original environment it was nourishing, fortifying and an integral part of the Ayurvedic food pyramid rightfully taking its deserved place at the base, serving as the foundation of the cultural diet. It has been eaten for thousands of years[1] with great positive effects until a few things happened.
Again, exploring the history of wheat is way beyond the scope of this session, but three critical developments will shed needed light on "what has gone wrong with the wheat".
I. During the years of 'creative baking' throughout the history of Europe in particular, the bakers always tended toward using the more heavily glutenized wheat strains because they were much preferred by the customers. You know, the more chewy and glutinous, the more savory and tasty. This baking technique was eventually utilized in the making of all the breads and rolls, pastas and pizzas, cakes and pies, cookies and tart, etc. So, over the span of centuries, you can imagine how the gluten content of virtually all wheat baked goods continued to rise?
II. With the advent of modern agricultural methods, many chemicals were introduced into the process of farming wheat. In addition to the massive amounts of chemical fertilizers, there were also fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and other imprudent additions* to the soil, wheat crops, as well as the harvested wheat. We all understand what that has done to the original healthy wheat products of yesteryear.
III. Modern food companies (mom & pop bakeries included) have also contributed to this process of wheat degradation through the ways in which factory-produced foods have been furthered denatured, by both the manufacturing process itself as well as with many unnecessary and unhealthy additives (like synthetic vitamins to make it 'enriched') systematically added to the mix. Inferior forms of allergy-producing yeast are particularly troubling for many with compromised GI tracts and degraded villi.
Now it's easy to see that what passes as wheat products today is far different than those of centuries ago. Like soy, which has undergone a similar process of over-hybridization, wheat has been forever tainted to a certain degree.[2]
Back to what this means to you, a wheat eater or wheat abstainer. If your heredity and relevant genetic characteristics are such that their is no predisposition toward celiac sprue in your bloodline, nor any traces of gluten sensitivity or wheat intolerance, you ought to feel secure in the knowing that eating wheat is quite okay and healthful. However there are further qualifications as follows:
Your Ayurvedic body type and Traditional Chinese Medicine profile ought to be favorable for regular wheat ingestion, otherwise ama can build up and chi blocked. Also, if you have certain chronic conditions or a tendency towards mucus production, wheat should be eaten very sparingly since it is a highly mucus-producing grain. The diet can be augmented with other foods, herbs and spices which can effectively counteract the mucus, but special care should be taken when in the throes of a respiratory illness or other mucus-producing conditions.
Also, the tendency toward obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and similar conditions ought to encourage one to decrease one's wheat intake. This list of qualifications does go on, but for the sake of this discussion let's end with the following extremely critical point and caveats.
Critical Point:
It is essential that we feel good about our food as we eat it. A positive attitude is key to the way all food and beverage is digested, absorbed and assimilated, and constitutes new tissues. As long as the wheat we eat, assuming you have not been disqualified by your risk profile, medical conditions, overall health status or genetic predispositions, is truly organic and made with positive vibes, it is as healthy a grain as exists on the planet.
In Ayurveda wheat is considered very sattvic, which is especially very good for yogis, meditators, students, artists and philosophers. It serves to raise the subtle vibrations of the body, as well as the entire being, so that transcendental states of consciousness can be experienced more easily.
Wheat field landscape picture
Final Thought:
We live in a society which has placed wheat at the very top of the list of foods most frequently eaten — in the home, at the fast food counter, the gourmet restaurant, the supermarket, the health food store, the ball game, the wedding reception and funeral gathering, etc. When we attend these functions or visit these places, the question often emerges, "To eat or not to eat the wheat?"
If you choose not to, you probably made the right decision.
If you choose to eat the "delectable wedding cake at the reception", do so with perfect acceptance, enjoyment and positive feeling toward the sumptuous food you are about to eat.
May you enjoy great health,
The Health Coach
[1] "Wheat is one of the first cereals known to have been domesticated, and wheat's ability to self-pollinate greatly facilitated the selection of many distinct domesticated varieties. The archaeological record suggests that this first occurred in the regions known as the Fertile Crescent, and the Nile Delta. These include southeastern parts of Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, the Levant, Israel, Egypt and Ethiopia. Recent findings narrow the first domestication of wheat down to a small region of southeastern Turkey, and domesticated Einkorn wheat at Nevalı Çori—40 miles (64 km) northwest of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey—has been dated to 9,000 B.C. However, evidence for the exploitation of wild barley has been dated to 23,000 B.C. and some say this is also true of pre-domesticated wheat." (Per Wikipedia — Wheat)
[2] Wheat degeneration and added chemical toxicities have significantly contributed to the the ever-increasing incidence of celiac disease (CSD), gluten sensitivity (GS) and wheat intolerance (WI). For instance, the introduction of mercury into the wheat storage process* alone was in part responsible for overly sensitizing the entire GI tract to many of the other artificial additives, as well as setting it up for various pathological transformations (especially the destruction of the mucus membranes in the small intestine).
*"It used to be common practice across the USA to float mercury vapors from the base of all the huge grain silos in order to control all the "bugs" that fed on the wheat and oats and barley during storage." (Per Mercury Poisoning and/or Toxicity: Do you have it?)
Why is there such a raging epidemic of GS, CSD and WI?
Two main reasons: (1) The strong digestive capacity, which is required to properly digest a tough protein like gluten, has substantially diminished throughout the modern era, particularly among Americans and Europeans. When the digestive fire is really burning well, it can practically digest nails. (2) We, as a society, simply eat too much wheat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner; morning, noon and night we grab the snack which so often contains wheat. Too much of an inherently good thing can hurt you. Way too much, for way too long, can actually kill you. Especially when any of the previously mentioned incompatibilities become operative.
Personal Testimony:
The Health Coach has submitted himself to a number of lab tests over the years each designed to determine the presence of gluten sensitivity. All of the results have came back negative. However, the bloodline on both sides of the family suggests a very high likelihood of possessing a genetic predisposition for all three — gluten sensitivity, wheat intolerance and celiac sprue disease. So does a childhood fraught with allergies, skin conditions, and other numerous unexplained ailments, many of which remain up to this very day.
It must be pointed out that a strict, multi-year, wheat and gluten-free diet had no effect on the same chronic health conditions? Some of you reading this may have experienced a similar situation. This predicament poses a very significant conundrum which will be taken up in Wheat — Part II
Factoid #1:
Did you know that every child in the country of Italy must be tested for gluten sensitivity by the age of one? It was recognized that celiac sprue disease has taken such a toll on that nation's healthcare system, that early detection became necessary to stem the tide of celiac-related diseases overwhelming the system.
Factoid #2:
Celiac Sprue Disease has been determined to have causal correlations to almost 200 different other diseases, illnesses and syndromes. Some of these are as serious as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Systemic lupus erythematosus (aka Lupus), and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's disease and ALS).
Beware of any article, research paper or book which rails against the eating of wheat for everyone, all the time, everywhere. To put it bluntly, this type of thinking is highly uninformed and profoundly unenlightened. Furthermore, such ideas are dangerous toward the maintenance of a balanced and physically fit society, particularly in light of how pervasive and invested Western society is in the staple known a wheat.
We mean no offense, but when highly esteemed health professionals and wellness advocates embrace the notion of "No wheat ever, far anyone", they do a great disservice of engendering unnecessary fear and anxiety, especially for those WHO MAY HAVE NO ALTERNATIVES!
We sincerely hope that we have made ourselves clear in this matter, and offer our email to those beacons of health who would like to carry on a constructive dialogue regarding this extremely important societal health matter. firstname.lastname@example.com
Author's Note:
For the record, The Health Coach has 8 aunts and a mother who have either died or are dying of celiac sprue disease. His wife, two sisters-in-law, brother-in-law have also been formidably challenged by gluten sensitivity and celiac. There are also several other relatives and numerous friends, business associates, acquaintances who have been likewise diagnosed. That's not to mention well over 20 years of coaching and counseling hundreds of clients through their formidable celiac sprue challenges.

I disagree a bit…..I would only recommend people consume sprouted wheat or grains…..wheat cannot be utilized raw, so must be cooked or sprouted to be utilized/digested….producing enough of the correct enzymes to digest cooked wheat can be a challenge for the body…and is the reason so many hay fever allergies can be cured by elimination of wheat/other grains(and pasteurized dairy)….even those people who seemingly have no problems digesting wheat still will expend an unnecessary amount of enzymes and energy for nutrition that can be more easily/efficiently produced and consumed in other ways……and from a political standpoint….. grains help foster the centralization of a society….as opposed to livestock production….which is more conducive to small scale production units….and degradation of the soil
I buy Montana Wheat Berries , no GMO's a reputable company I called and ordered. Could this be good wheat?
thank you for any information-as I make my own breads and etc.
Fact #1. Americans eat far, far, far more corn than wheat. Watch the Movie King Corn. But wheat contamination is in everything. As you pointed out Gluten (glue) is a tough protein, I'm one of those ones who tells everybody to get off the wheat, maybe if some people could miraculously tolerate mercury in the diet they should eat that because it's "good and healthy" for them. You have just not discovered you are one of the afflicted yet, your attitude towards this manufactured poison will change I suspect. Fact #2. The list of ailments caused by Gluten makes Aspartame look like blueberries, that's the truth. Any health coach worth their salt would not tell people it's ok to ingest this "glue". Get yerself edjumacated brother.
Last year, over a three month period all my major joints started aching. I stopped eating wheat, on the third day the pain was all gone. As soon as I eat more than a little bit of wheat I start having joint pain. Whats that? Regards Rick
I have noticed same thing; people allergic to wheat can get this – solution is eat brown rice and its products.
Eat only GMO wheat; been engineered to be good for the environment and OK for you.
Are you for real? How can something so unnatural be good? Frankenfood is not for me!
In Wheat Belly, Dr. William Davis describes how farming practices to make drought-resistant, higher-yield, hardier strains of wheat have produced a grain crop that bears little resemblance to the wheat of even 50 years ago.

Meredith: So, it's supposed to be "D-day," or "P-day," and still no Aunt Flo. What the hell?!? I hope the man upstairs isn't screwing with me. I did take the First Response Early Pregnancy Test and got a negative. Perhaps, I should take it again. I'll probably get my period tonight at 11:59:59 PM. That would figure. You know what? I am going to wait ... screw it! I am not going to get myself all excited to be let down. I am going to wait until my period is late. WHY!!!
I would do backflips if I got a positive tomorrow. Freakin' backflips! OK ... slow down. I am not going to get worked up. I did already get a negative. So, chances are that it will be a negative again. Why have I become so pessimistic? I was never like this before. I think the whole process of trying to get pregnant just makes you so negative.
