I have recently moved, and am back to finding new places that sell gluten free foods, new gluten free friends, plus more people in my life that don't know what it is. As far as addictive, it is like other things that are addictive that I shouldn't have, only even worse. Am I willing to spend 3 days on the porcelain throne? 

Thanks, everyone.  I think I'll stay gluten-free and try to avoid the occasional issues that come up. It's not worth it. 

I was tested after 50, and years of enduring irritable bowel disease,  but this time it had already been suggested that gluten intolerance was the culprit. I had removed all gluten from my diet for 6 weeks. The symptoms were better and my blood tests (no scope) we negative. Now I  read I should have kept on eating gluten even though I had a pain free life?
