I was talking to a doctor today , who is a salesman. He concurred. The whole Gluten ####### is slick marketing. Gluten affects less than 1 % of the population

I actually made those a few weeks ago. I failed to recognize that the flour I used was gluten-free until after the fact, so the placebo was weak.

I felt about the same as when I made gluten-laden crepes last year.

Always fun to roam the aisles of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's here in Los Angeles and find coffee labeled "gluten-free." Tends to be very popular in certain areas of L.A. with vaccination rates similar to South Sudan.

someone sneaked in some 'gluten free pancake mix' a few weeks ago,

and I used it all in one setting.

ALL of my housemates have chastised her for buying this crup, as it tastes like donkey's poo... Alas, her only point was - 'It was a pretty picture of a stack of pancakes, and we all LIKE pancakes when you cook them ! '

Ya, there was some biological aftermath as well, bordering on the toxic-waste variety.

And no, not one of my housemates enjoys explosive diarrhea. Not one of them !

Gluten does some very bad things to that 1% though. The average person who wants to try "gluten free" would actually be better off just avoiding wheat products.

Sure. Coconut flour is kind of pricey though if you start using a lot of it.

aha - buckwheat ! lotsa noodles done at the house wif da buckwheat flour, made from scratch.

I think it's a win !

I don't have a problem with gluten, really. But my coffee and tea is gluten-free, so, like Nature Boy, I wanna live a healthier, happier life without them nasty bowel trajectories.... [Reminder, Nature Boy - schedule that high-colonic next week! ]

My wife uses buckwheat for waffles and pancakes - they are pretty good. It has a bit of a funny taste to it though. You have to get used to it.

Alrighty, I'll give ya 1/2 point on that one, as

1: it was original, not yer normal repetitive crup and

2. it was original.
