Glutton for Gluten

[THE PILGRIM]

Some of you folks, maybe Ringo need to know this.
Not once but twice I have purchased Gluten free tortillas.
They are laying right next to the regular ones and are the same usual brands.
When they hit the hot grease, they just don't fry properly.
And when you try one, they just don't taste right.
So unless you need Gluten free, I advise avoid them!
They just don't taste right.
I want corn, corn, sure as your born.

One of the health nuts at my office ordered a pizza with gluten free crust. First time in my life I have spit out a piece of pizza.

If you'd rather eat the pizza box than the pizza, there may be a problem!

Most people do not need a gluten free diet. Usually those with Celiac disease (don't know if I spelled that correctly) need to go gluten free. Ask me about going on a "cleanse". Or just look it up. Also not needed.

The gluten free thing got a little out of hand lol.I do have a cousin and a neighbor with celiacs.Serious stuff.

You guys must have some well developed taste buds. I've tried gluten free stuff a few times and never knew the difference. I'm sure if I ate the two versions side by side I might but when it's months or years apart I couldn't tell the difference

My wife is gluten-free due to Celiac. It is getting easier to find good tasting gluten free food but it is rarely less expensive than the regular stuff. Regarding pizza crust, she prefers Udi's. I think Dominos might use their crust for their GF pizza.

I bought a gluten-free frozen pizza by mistake a coupla years back. Have a big ol' bite and ask my wife, "What the hey is wrong with this pizza? Tastes awful."

She says, "it's gluten free, ya dummy!"

Never again if I can help it.

Less than ONE percent of the population suffer from a real gluten sensitivity due to celiac disease. There may be an additional one to two percent that have a more general wheat sensitivity due to other compounds in wheat. For the other 97%, there is simply no effect. That's the science. Any doctor who claims differently, I don't care how many titles he has and how many times he mentions Harvard, is selling something.

Most of the people who "feel so much better" with a gluten-free diet are just suffering from IGS (Imaginary Gluten Syndrome). Now that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the stuff in the American diet with lots of wheat, like donuts, muffins, pizza crust, hamburger buns etc., tends to be associated with sugar, fat, and carbs.

So if people are cutting back on the right things for the wrong reasons, let them. And it seems to be good for business. Just like with "organic", you can sell worse-tasting and worse-looking stuff for twice the price to properly motivated customers. Here's to the power of the free market!

My dog Kimber will eat damn near anything. Fool dog loves lettuce, broccoli, even radishes! The only thing she EVER spit out were gluten free dog treats at the farmer's market. Laughed my tail off...

My dog loves radishes too! Don't think she has ever had gluten free dog treats tho. If they are soft she might spit them out.

My daughter has Celiac. She went thru hell before she was finally diagnosed with it. She will have a reaction to gluten free food cooked on a grill that was previously used to cook something with gluten in it. She has found a few restaurants that properly cook gluten free and she goes to them on a regular basis.

From what i've seen and bought at the grocery store plain
tortillas basically come in two varieties, made from flour or corn. The plain corn tortillas without added flavoring also
come in two varieties, white or yellow corn. All of the corn
tortillas and chips are labeled Gluten free. So I'm not sure
what kind of tortillas you're talking about unless it's some
kind of Gluten free flour.

Corn is gluten free but in order for a product to be labeled "gluten-free" it has to be processed in a facility that does not make other products that contain gluten otherwise there can be cross contamination.

Some products are good like those Nut Thin crackers. Udi's bread is decent, but heavy. I have a friend with celiac so I have to be careful when she comes over for dinner. Not a big deal to make adjustments. Soy sauce is a "no no" that many people don't know about but Tamari is OK.

The latest craze in pizza is making the crust from grated cauliflower. I've heard from friends it is good but have yet to try it. I've tried "riced" cauliflower which was pretty good with a curry. It was quick and easy with a food processor. I would make it again but actually prefer butternut squash with curry but now's about the time it gets too hot to turn on the oven for at least 4 months.

To me it's like the commercials trying to convince people that we all are lactose intolerant. They try to say that we need to drink lactose free milk or almond milk. Also like the shingles vaccine. A few years ago I had never heard of shingles, I only know a couple people that have had it but now because they have a vaccine to sell everyone needs to get the vaccine.

That right there says it all....even before I read the gluten free part. Frozen pizzas have this drywall/cardboard taste with a cheese like substance

I've tried the cauliflower pizza. My sister made it once just to try something different. Now this was a home made pizza so ingredients probably vary ......I can't say that I liked it but I didn't hate it either. It wouldn't be my first choice but if it was one of the options on the table I'd probably grab a small slice to try again
