I enjoyed this post. :) I've also read Wheat Belly and Grain Brain and I'm one of those celiacs who developed an intolerance to gluten in my 30s. There is so much the average consumer doesn't know!
Did you know that you can buy ancient grains like Einkorn and Spelt, which are predecessors of wheat, contain less gluten and are typically only sold as organic? Expensive but much more healthy and good for things like muffins, cookies and flatbreads, if one isn't celiac, these grains could be enjoyed. I also discovered buckwheat flour, which, inspite of its name, has no wheat or gluten. I love using it in all my baking. (except yeast breads, I haven't mastered that for GF. )
