Hi invisable,

I don't understand why you need to buy $10 loaves of bread to go gluten-free for a while. I don't have any sensitivity I'm aware of, but I went gluten-free for several months before I even realized it, and haven't really missed/craved a whole lot. I went on Forest Tennant's diet for intractible pain back in June or so, and after being on it for some time (and finally losing some weight after several years of failing on others) it was pointed out to me that the diet is also - coincidentally - essentially gluten-free, AFAIK. It's also been the easiest diet (for me) I've ever tried/followed.

I confess I cheated on Thanksgiving Day, but suffered no ill effects or setbacks.
