Gluten free seems about as credible as global warming. Both have big industries that profits from it, and push a lot of fear and pseudo science.


Oh, bull. Gluten is only good for holding itself together; making fast food easy with breads and tortillas and other solid holder style foods. It’s not bringing you anything nutritious that you couldn’t get from other foods (seeds or nuts).

Going without gluten for health reasons means not replacing the starchy grain foods, it means leaving them out of your diet. Don’t buy the BE gluten free foods, which will also make you sick with all their gums and stabilizers and crap. Just eat real food, meat, dairy, eggs, fruit, veggies. No big industry will profit. Just your little humble body.

Gluten is just the protein found in wheat (and barley and rye). There is nothing wrong with eating it unless you have celiac disease. If you want to cut wheat to help reduce carbs, great. but gluten isn’t the reason tortillas or cake is unhealthy.
