Topic: Gluten Free Madness

Yes.  There are people with severe food allergies and so the gluten free foods can't be prepared in the same bowls, with the same tools, etc.  An entirely separate set of implements is necessary.

I sometimes eat gluten free crackers but it's because I like rice crackers and they were on sale.  That said, I've got to go make some Christmas cookies.

Is gluten intolerance something that can arise with age?

[goldshirt*9]

I don’t know about gluten intolerance (I’m not even sure that medically there is any such thing), but coeliac disease certainly can.

close friend has been diagnosed with this, in fact her whole family has. She has eliminated gluten from her diet as far as is possible.She has lost weight and feels a lot better plus it has saved her sisters life.
As far as I have watched on tv, Gluten protein has has changed over the years due to crossing of plants for mass production for the masses.
