I read an interesting article on TIME.com that says that going gluten free should be for individuals that have a gluten intolerence, sensitivity or allergy. That for all others gluten free diets can actually have a negative effect. More and more info and research is coming out all the time.M.
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

Personally, I agree that many people who are currently going gluten free because of all the media coverage probably don't need to. But there is another category of individuals, beyond those with celiac disease or gluten allergies/sensitivity, who may benefit from eliminating gluten. That would be people with diseases--such as MS--in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body.

Sequoia - I agree that the fiber issue is relatively easy to get around. I guess the other issue I have is the glut of gluten free products that have flooded the market. Many of them are gf but loaded with everything but the kitchen sink, how can that be healthy? Half the things I can't pronounce and the other half are GMO. I just can't help thinking that people are being given false hope.M.

I have Whatchamacallit; and all of the symptoms are mirages.

maitrimama- I'm with you- if I can't pronounce it and/or don't recognize it, I don't eat it anymore :-) I do experiment with some gf free products- pasta, flour etc. to find the ones I like. While there is certainly a segment out there that takes advantage of people, there are also plenty of people who choose not to educate themselves.Diagnosed June 2011, Avonex 7/11-12/11
