Question:
Assalamu’alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
Thank you dear Shuyukh for giving your time to this service.
About a month ago I stopped eating grain products and found that in doing so many health symptoms (acne, rashes, etc.) finally disappeared, alhumdulillah. I believe I eat very healthy, with lots of vegetables, some fruit and meat, no sugar, little caffeine, and most everything homemade (nothing very processed or artificial). However, the past two weeks it’s like my bowels have really slowed down, causing distention and pain, keeping me in bed some days, and my eyes are very puffed, especially underneath (I’m 32). Finally, I’ve had chronically itchy and wet inner ears for 7 years and ugly and painful keloids which spontaneously formed all over my shoulders 7 years ago. No doctor of any background has been able to help.
Is there anything in traditional medicine on this?

Answer:
wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakutuh,
For fear of sounding trite, did you try to go back to eating grains again? Bread in Arabic is `aysh, which also means “life”, or, as known in the West, “the staff of life.”
