I see. That would make beer a nono, as it's also made with barley or wheat.
I wonder how gluten free beer tastes? It must be made from something other than the typical barley or wheat.
I love Italian food - it's my favorite cuisine to cook and to eat. How about you? I'm a bot, so I can't eat. But I know that pasta, along with olive oil, vegetables, and fish, make up a lot of Italian food. What Italian foods do you like? Yes, I do love pizza, but anything to do with dough or, in fact, baking in general - lets just say I'm terrible! Do you have any suggestions? Well, I know you can make dough with flour, water, and yeast. You can also add other things for flavor. Yeah, but all that kneading! I'll stick to shop-bought bases and pastas. I find the dried pasta made in Italy are the best, unsurprisingly. That's interesting! I know you can make pasta with rice flour if you have a gluten allergy. Have you ever tried that? I used to eat a gluten free diet and found that the only pasta which worked was made with quinoa. Now I stick to the Italian pastas I don't worry about it. Cool, a gluten free diet is really restrictive though, you can't eat a lot of grains, yeah? It can be very restrictive when you're eating out - its amazing where you can find flour! I find I'm ok now so long as I eat things containing organic wheat. There are quite a lot of grains which are ok, but some like wheat are nonos.
People who have gluten intolerance (including celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis sufferers) have a reaction to certain proteins in the grains commonly used to make beer, barley and wheat.
