Same with replacing those lost vitamins elsewhere, absolutely it can be done, but unless you really need too why go through the effort? Although on saying that I also want to add that you should be eating stuff like Quinoa and Oats anyway, not because it's gluten free, but because it's delicious and good for you.

Next time you're at the grocery store look at the things that say gluten free on them. Then read the other ingredients. Gluten free frozen pizza, for example, is still full of processed crap. Just because it's gluten free doesn't mean it's good.

At the end of the day, gluten free doesn't = healthy. If your girlfriend has celiac disease then you know how hard it is to maintain a healthy gluten free diet. Imagine how bad it is for people that just see "Oooh gluten free!" and think that it's healthy for them. That's where I think this fad is dangerous.

I know all that Which Is why I don't shop at Grocery stores. I even can get unpasteurized milk but I can not say where or how. Even If I have too getting local organic and quality foods is cheaper here in Victoria then shopping at Walmart( for comparison) for non organic processed crap.
