#1 While it's annoying to get lumped into the gluten band wagon, it's nice to have alot of gluten free options. My wife isn't gluten intolerant or celiac, she's epi pen level allergic to wheat. The more options we have for food, the better for her.

Course, if I do sneak out for soft, squishy normal bread kolaches, she does whine a bit and demand to smell them.

#4 My son is intolerant to wheat. If he eats it his intestines gum up faster than Portland cement dumped in the toilet. He doesn't have celiacs, and isn't allergic but something else is happening that doctors aren't quite sure of.

One thing the article doesn't go over that I stumbled across in my research is that modern wheat, known as common or bread wheat was changed back in the 60s to make it a more tolerant and easier wheat to grow. Part of the by product is it has 50% more gluten then other wheat. Most of the wheat we eat is easier to grow, and has more gluten and has really only been in our food supply since the 70s.

Spelt and older forms of wheat may not trigger responses in people and my son can eat small (one sandwich a day) doses of spelt without having his poop tract stop working. So there is something going on with the more modern versions of wheat, but I seriously doubt it is as bad as most people claim and the anti-gluten hysteria is just... hysteria.

It has been good for my son and others that need to be wheat free as now there are so many more tasty options at the store so it has been a boon for my.
