I think one of the pitfalls of simply going gluten free to follow a fad/trend is not being aware of the big nutritional picture, and how the human body processes fat, protein and carbs, as you explain. Potato chip packaging will say “gluten and cholesterol free", as if that somehow means healthy food.

After 9 pages I really have nothing to add other than this. My wife is gluten free has been for a couple of years. She suffers from lupus. and it helps her greatly to not eat gluten.
and Luksusowa Polish Potato Vodka is gluten free. Just in case you didn't know.

Hudson Baby Bourbon is also gluten free...made entirely from corn. A sweet bourbon, in the style of Knob Creek.

Corn gluten is the very product that triggered the event that confirmed my Airedale's allergy . In fact , it was Silver Queen corn on the cob . I grew it from seed .

"Corn does not contain the same type of gluten as that which causes a reaction in those who have celiac disease or are "gluten-intolerant." A gluten is simply a grain protein - but the word is usually used to mean the type of gluten found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and triticale." |

Try to keep in mind that when her issue became something that needed to be dealt with , I was informed by my Vet that dogs don't have that problem . Never use absolutes in medicine unless you are willing to accept the possibility of ending up wrong . When that happens , the good ones like my Vet , accept it , learn from it and use what they have learned going forward . They don't dig their heels in and deny the proof in front of them . He has far more taught knowledge about animals than I will ever have yet he realizes that there is more to learn and that knowledge does not have to come from anything more formal than common sense . You see , when her symptoms began to manifest at 6 1/2 years old , they mirrored almost exactly the symptoms of someone that I know who is celiac . He nearly died from it until it was figured out . This was around the time when the public was only first learning about it and medicine was generally in the dark about it as well . I saw the distinct similarities and asked my Vet about it . This now returns full circle to where I began this post . You see , I knew that corn contained gluten . I don't care what the books say . I care about living and applying logic to situations . More often than not , I find myself on the right side of things simply because I keep an open mind . Trust your instincts . |

Yep that’s what this thread is about really. People falling into the fad aspect of going gluten-free, without really researching the whole picture. Same can be said for people who get into the keto diet thinking they have a hall pass on bacon and eggs every single time. Even on keto, you need to watch your sodium and saturated fats and cholesterol. Avocados, anything high in mct oil like coconut oil, fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are your best friends. |

I for one sincerely hope that gout sufferers get all the help they can - same for the growing numbers of people who are gluten intolerant - and anybody else with a genuine condition. I also avoid dairy, and sugar, and have never felt/looked better. Thank goodness for awareness raising movements - in all areas of life - some we agree with, others we don't (I have my fair share of both!). The beauty is that we can look at what's being presented then decide for ourselves etc. Undoubtedly, this is increasingly difficult with all the vested interests etc. at play, and 'eternal vigilance' really is 'the price of freedom' (including freedom from gluten! ).

As far as the question posed in the OP... with clarification the answer is both yes and no. NO: The issue is obviously very real for those with celiac disease and arguably with those who do not have celiac, but exhibit clinical intolerance or sensitivity to actual and natural gluten.. Yes: for the majority of the population who are not suffering from celiac and are not actually clinically sensitive to natural gluten, because going "gluten free" as hyped by the food industry , for those people appears to offer no real health benefit per se, and arguably is a waste of money. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/going-gluten-free-just-because-heres-what-you-need-to-know-201302205916 The confusion and part of debate is complicated when people make general statements that do not clarify the difference between highly processed foods containing all kinds of questionable chemicals etc. and also contain processed gluten and natural unprocessed and organic foods which may contain natural gluten Thus I think all would agree or should understand, that highly refined and processed foods , whether or not they contain gluten, are really not good for the general population.
