Hi, David, That's very interesting! I'm already well acquainted with living gluten free, through living through the process with my wife, Paula. We always have gluten free pasta, and so as not to torture her with delicious things that she can't eat, I refrain from bringing home big hunks of gooey, gluten-filled pastries, bread, etc., and the boys and I will only order pizza when Mom's gone for the evening. It's incredible the number of products that are made with wheat, etc. You really have to be aware of 'hidden gluten' in ingredients, such as malt vinegar (sorry, Brits) and 'food starch'. I spend some extra time reading labels at the market, but it's necessary. I've made changes in what I buy for me and the boys, now that I'm more aware of what's in some food products. Most brands of soy sauce, for example, are off limits. Paula uses La Choy. But I've been a very willing guinea pig as she has discovered some very delicious alternatives to wheat flour. She makes brownies that are far superior to your average box mix, and she wowed me with some GF tiramisu! If you (all) would like to visit a site with lots of resources, go to www.bufaloglutenfree.org . Paula's the webmaster for our local awareness group. Recipees, resources, and, with or without gluten, if you ever visit our sunny little town, we could show you why Buffalonians are so fat! Enjoy Spring!
