Question: when you write »I don’t eat gluten and haven’t gotten over to Europe where the flour is grown and processed in a way that makes it more tolerable » what do you mean? I live in Europe, am gluten intolerant and our wheat is no better than anywhere else. Are you referring to the Italian flour that has the gluten removed? I am not sure that works for wheat I tolerant folks either …

You are correct in your last sentence. Those that are wheat intolerant still could not eat anything made with flour even in Europe. And celiac would for sure have to steer clear and be very careful just as they would hear in the United States. I’m absolutely not telling anyone who has issues with gluten to go eat all the things made with flour in Europe or even at the donut place in Colorado Springs. I’m just saying for me it was perfectly OK and I had no issues whatsoever. I’ve heard over and over again the same thing from people who cannot eat gluten in the United States but have traveled to Italy or France or Spain eating all the gluten they want and not only not feel bad but also lose weight. There’s something about how it’s processed in theUnited States, it causes it to be less digestible. It could be the growing or it could be how it’s handled after production. I don’t honestly know, but I’ve heard that from dozens and dozens of people.
