I had the same dry, itchy skin to! My skin looks 10 years younger on Atkins.

I have every bad sypmtom known to man from wheat and other grains. Stomach, joints, muscles, sinus with stopped up ears, heart palpitations, eyes swelling etc., etc.

I can hardly believe the difference in how I feel when I stay away from the bad stuff! It's hard to fathom sometimes that something that you are supposed to eat and is so readily available can make you feel so bad in so many different ways.
