there are a number of reasons to omit gluten from diet. i do it, and there are a lot of other things i eat too. one of the alternative flours i use is lupin flour, and it would have sent a person with this allergy into anaphylactic shock, since lupin beans are related to peanuts. i received a number of iatrogenic injuries as a child, including developing some allergies which i ended up growing out of. i'm grateful that fatal food allergies were not one of the ways doctors fucked me up.
