Here's a recent M&Ms thread with some helpful info. Also, make sure you are checking the label for "May contain wheat". -
Old Hag Syndrome / Sleep Paralysis

Interesting. I used to get Old Hag, also, usually when taking afternoon naps, but not so much anymore. Not sure if it was gluten-related, though. -

Woodwinds rule, Brass drool. Does that remind anyone of middle school band? Shortly after getting diagnosed, I threw out my old reeds that I'm sure could have absorbed gluten if I hadn't had a chance to brush before playing. I disinfected my mouthpiece too.

I'm wondering if it's just the acidity and now my body can't handle it anymore.
