Just in time for Chrimbles, I saw this list of gluten and grain free vodkas including a couple from potatoes or grape. Gluten Free Vodkas I have tried potato vodka and couldn't tolerate it - Barrier Planners note that potato is out anyway so I should have known! - but I haven't tried a grape …

Are You A Hypochondriac or Are You Really Reacting To Gluten?
I am sure many (all?) of us have, at some point, been accused of making it all up, bringing reactions on ourselves, being a bit obsessive about food, eating unhealthily by cutting important stuff out of our diet yada yada yada...

#Gluten In Medicines
   I have had five conversations about this single subject in the last couple of days; people are feeling symptoms despite their strict adherence to the trulyglutenfree or Barrier diet, why?
