My brother has celiac disease. His wife has studied up on this quite extensively & has learned to cook gluten free.

For some reason, more & more of the US population has become allergic to gluten - don't know if it is all the additives, artificial stuff, preservatives, genetically modified wheat, corn, soy etc, but whatever it is, seems almost to be an epidemic.

The big food manufacturers are catching on & producing a much greater variety of gluten free foods. My SIL made a pineapple upside down cake w/one of the popular cake mixes (she added the butter, brown sugar & pineapple slices). It was very good.

I just rec'd several pounds of organic coconut flour - kinda pricey but was on sale at one of the websites I get organic coconut oil from. Haven't cooked w/it yet. They have organic rice flour, also - but it, too, is expensive.

Wish you the best, Stinkerbell, it's not an easy path. My brother said the gluten free bread isn't too good - I've never tried it.
