A couple of years ago my intestines were completely impacted. The doctors only diagnosed me as being constipated. As I thought more about the way I was feeling when I ate different foods, and different symptoms I was exhibiting, I realized I may be gluten intolerant. I  researched foods I should avoid and information on things which often contain gluten which we may not even think of such as medications..

I found out that Gluten is an additive, it is not a natural ingredient in flours or other foods. 


Just because it's Gluten Free doesn't mean it can't be good.
