    I have celiac disease and have been gluten-free for almost 10 years.  I am extremely sensitive to gluten, noting that I react within 15 minutes of contact and in fact the doctor suspects that there may also be an actual wheat allergy at play but have never bothered to be tested since I avoid it like the plague!  I am curious to know if anyone else reacts to flax or inulin?  My symptoms with those two are almost identical to gluten so I have to really watch for that in gluten-free breads and baking and recently discovered after the fact that flax was in the juice I was drinking. I know that people with gluten issues can have other problems as well and in fact I also avoid milk products.  Even after 10 years, and although it has become a way of life, it's still frustrating to have to read every ingredient on every label.?

      Ugh!  I, too, still have unresolved intolerances.  Xanthan Gum (added to gluten-free breads) is a biggie.  So, I have to avoid many gluten-free processed foods.  

      I think we all can relate to the bother of reading labels every single time!  ?

      Xanthum gum!  Yeesh!  I'm so sorry.  Knowing that is huge in gluten-free products must make your live-it (don't like the word die-it because it makes it sound as though those with celiac or gluten sensitivities eat as we do as a means of losing weight or as part of a fad!) very challenging.  I thank God that the labeling laws have progressed to requiring that allergens are clearly list.  That at least makes the label reading a bit easier. Now all we need is for the manufacturers to add a little light sex and a car chase or embezzlement intrigue into the ingredients, we could at least enjoy the 'light' reading we do while shopping!?
