I can honestly tell you that being gluten free is a real pain. I can also tell you that there is a big difference between celiac and having an allergy to wheat. While I do not have the celiac marker, scratch testing revealed and confirmed my wheat and milk issues after the elimination diet I was on pointed in that direction.
Gluten free foods have their own issues, so I avoid these when I can. As an avid food ingredient label reader, I am amazed at what is actually in a lot of foods, and that casein (which is a milk protein product) and wheat can be found in a lot of things you’d hardly expect. Is it all hype? Not for me, but then again, given the choice of being sick or following a special diet and feeling good is a no brainer. |

So just curious, do you think this is a bad thing? I guess I don't see the harm. If folks want to spend more money for gluten free, they are free to do that.

No, RJ, I don’t necessarily see it as a “bad” thing, I’m just naturally suspicious when it comes to the commercial food industry and their propaganda machine. As you said, if folks want to spend their money on gluten free products, hey, have at it folks, no sweat off my brow as they say.

Just because it’s gluten free food, does not mean it’s heathy. Read the labels. Lots of this food is high in sodium and other, not so healthy ingredients, that make it palatable and stick together. Balance is the key to healthy eating.

It is amazing the amount of sodium in food today.

When you cook from scratch, like my grand parents, parents and like my better half & I do today, you can control the amount of sodium. We rarely purchase processed foods.
We have a good friend who was tested and he becomes quite ill when having anything with gluten in it. There are some who may try to exploit the issue of gluten for personal or corporate gain, however for some individuals, it is very serious health concern. If it works for those who desire to lose weight, then so be it. The selection availability and price may be worth the quality of life improvement and potential health savings to those folks Separately, John Pinette incorporated "gluten free" into his routine (1 min 20 second mark) back back in 2011, so the topic has been relevant for some time.

what may not affect you may affect others.
my sister has MS and she has cut gluten from her diet. this won't stop the MS but she says she feels better and that is all that matters. i am skeptical about natural vs. organic and whether or not that is a benefit. the bananas all look the same to me. play music!

“she says she feels better and that is all that matters.” Your darn right. If eating gluten free helps her then more power to her I say.
