I have no idea if I have a problem with gluten, but any wheat product will set me off on a binge - which, besides the carbs, is why I stay away from it.

My homemade breads tasted wonderful (especially with butter) but they didn't do me any good. Giving them up was difficult, but it's been enough years that I don't crave them. Still have the recipes, tho.

PS - it was both the Wheat Belly book & Grain Brain that convinced my husband to go easy on wheat. He still eats it, but not near as often - maybe once a week on average. He never binged like I did, but wheat products were an every-day part of his life.
