Hi there. I just read your posts about the gluten free products. I hope you don't mind my adding on here.

My daughter and I went gluten free for a while due to some health issues she was having and we hoped that doing this would help. Her problems appeared to be more a sensitivity than something like Celiac.

It did help with some issues and certainly her skin cleared well when going gluten free but just be aware when buying prepackaged "GF" products that often they have a lot of other things in them that are not so good. Most of the prepackaged GF foods on our supermarkets in my area are full of sugar we noticed. No idea why it's like that. Doesn't make sense.

From our online investigations prior to doing all that, we came to the conclusion that the US has a much better range of actually healthy GF shelf foods.

The range here has been very small too although I've noticed in this past year there must be way more demand and companies are introducing much better products all of a sudden.

There are lots and lots of GF recipes and hints and advice on our Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease Forum here.

It's a complex business going GF. Almost every product in our bathroom even had things in it that we were meant to avoid if doing the diet correctly. It's more of a life style change than a diet.
