Great information! My husband and son are both allergic to wheat so we follow gluten-free pretty closely. I've featured your lens on my new lens all about Quinoa! People think gluten-free and allergen-free means boring food and giving up what we love - nope, and I'm so happy to find kindred spirits here on Squidoo!
