I learned a lot about it because my son has IBS-D and is lactose intolerant. The doctor put him on the FODMAP diet. Not only is it gluten free, it's also controlling fructose and he is lactose, too -- poor kid.

I watched an interesting video about what gluten actually looks like. It's like rubber beads that fill up with air. That's how it makes bread fluffy and spongy.

There are good resource websites for gluten free, too.

I went through everything in my pantry and checked on each item.

They also say that to truly be gluten free, you must use pots, silverware, everything strictly gluten free. Also, it takes years of being strictly gluten free to reverse the Celiac and then it doesn't always work.

My son does not have Celiac. But we all have the gene that makes us 10 times more likely to get it than people without the gene.

Complicated stuff.

I started trying to control the gluten again since this post.

And true, the packaged gluten free breads and muffins are full of fattening, unhealthy other stuff.
