This means she doesn\u2019t eat anything that has gluten &#8211; which can be found in wheat, rye, or barley. Personally, I\u2019m a big fan of gluten and I add <a title=\"what is gluten flor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ochef.com\/219.htm\">gluten flour<\/a> when making bagels. It puts the chewy in chewy bread. My mother-in-law is on the other end of that scale. Not that she doesn\u2019t like chewy, its just that she has to avoid any speck of gluten which requires a fierce vigilance. Web sites, including the <a title=\"how to avoid gluten\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.com\/health\/celiac-disease\/DS00319\/DSECTION=treatments%2Dand%2Ddrugs\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, advocates not even using the same counter top that bread may have touch for risk of a few molecules of gluten coming into cross-contamination. I hear those who are allergic to peanut butter need to maintain a similar vigilance least they inadvertently kick off a much more immediate and fatal allergic reaction. Celiac is more of a long term threat.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14px;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14px;font-family: Verdana\">Imagine &#8211; food that every one else enjoys, and even shows up in medicines as a binder, can actually cause deep suffering and a shortened life span.
