I've read ENOUGH about gluten and I never have been tested, doesn't matter to me...but I like gluten free products much better, I buy a bag of gluten free cookies now and then and live them much more than wheat cookies. Same with crackers, I don't eat pasta anymore, some mac and cheese from whole foods hot deli bar sometimes, have not bought a loaf of bread for 6+ yrs...started to buy gluten free and didn't like this heavy bread, so quit it all....I use beautiful organic lettuce leaves as a sandwich wrap.
If and when I buy a burger out, I'll get a toasted bun, but that is not often. I am not strict but I do prefer the taste overall of gluten free products.
I don't have stomach issues, I do take digestive enzymes and probiotics daily and DGL for stomach protection as I do take ibuprofen daily for OA and Fibro pain.
