Reply to "Gluten Free Diet?"

 

 

I eat very little in the way of flour based products, rarely buy prepared or packaged foods and love to bake and cook...not everyone's case. I get good quality, cheap goat's and sheep's cheese here...just our culture..ditto for rye breads, sorghum breads and other unusual flours...our flour is different (both hard and soft flour) in France (5-9% gluten content) as opposed to American flour (up to 15%) so there are a lot fewer allergies here. It means that if you find a bakery in N.A. that makes French baguettes and pastries with 'real French flour' you may suffer less if you just have a sensitivity and not full blown celiac.

Stuff that is manufactured for a small or select group will always be more expensive due to production costs...until it becomes mainstream...And then the price will either go down thanks to offer/demand or it will stay high because the manufacturer is gouging and making huge profits off of you.

Write to them on their facebook page, send messages...your opinion counts these days.

The more people consume gluten-free products the more choices you will have...those industrial corporations are out to make money...So if you get consumer groups that make noise they will listen. (or drop the whole line because it is more trouble than it is worth!)

Farmers are sensitive too...see if a local sheep or goat farmer sells directly from their farm to the public...better quality cheeses, much cheaper than in stores...better for them and you. 

There are always ways to source products if you can get a like-minded group together to buy them.
