Not so if you have Celiac disease like I do. And have spoken at length with doctors and specialists in the subject.
Those with Celiac disease have to go on a Gluten Free Diet. It mainly affects children.
Allergies are on the rise. Especially children because of what we feed them when their bodies are still growing.
The problem isn't Gluten, it's GM foods, the way we screw with nature and the amount we eat. Wheat is cheap and can be used to pad out everything, you would think Cornflakes were made of corn, Nachos as well. They're not because wheat is cheaper. It's the amount we eat of things we weren't designed to eat and the way it's been changed by scientists.
The easy rule is to read what's on the packet. Or cook from fresh.
I would bet money here that many saying Gluten Free is crap, are over stuffing themselves with sugar, salt, fat and chemicals they don't have a clue about.
