Gluten is very high in protein. I used to add a lot to a batch of dough when I used to bake our bread. For most people it is a nutritious food, but for others, as Andreas noted, it can cause a range of problems from the mildly annoying to the very serious.
Peanuts also cause an allergic reaction in part of the population; even a little bit of a peanut product or peanut derivative can be fatal as in a tragic case a few years ago to a school child in Spokane.
And I assume most know about lactose intolerance which also can cause a range of unpleasantness.
People with these kinds of issues have a difficult time when dining out as gluten, peanut products, dairy products are often found in foods where you might not expect them. They are used as favor enhancers, thickening agents, etc. Gluten and dairy products are also found in some very effective muscle/athletic performance enhancement products.
Since allergies are individualistic, Gary, et al can only find if a gluten free diet has advantages for them by trying such a diet for a few weeks.

Actually, what my question was meant to imply was, are there OTHER benefits to a gluten free diet besides those for whom gluten causes varying degrees of gastric upset. The google research I did do did not reveal any and I was mildly curious. I couldn't care less how many people show up at any of the coop sponsored classes. Were I going to attend any, it would have been the herbalism and the urban chicken symposium but I heard it was SRO.

Dan,
If g was curious re: benefits of non-gluten diets, he could have done is own research on Google.
If g was just curious, he could have left off the results of his research into the percent of the population affected by the problem and just asked his question.
His post implies the Co-op is out-of-line providing classes for a small number of people. I'm saying walk the miles in their shoes before he condemns.

"No snarkyness intended here, I'm just curious why gluten in the diet receives so much attention when other food related conditions do not. Are there other reason besides actual physical intolerance that make this type of diet attractive?"
Now, to me it seemed he was asking something out of pure curiosity, and wondering if maybe a gluten-free diet was something for him. (not that Gary needs any defending from me)
for me, I wonder if there are *more* food allergies nowadays, or if we're just getting more educated about them because of the increased flow of information.

I'm sure this I'd something g cannot understand. Gluten is both a major ingredient in American diets and a deadly poison for some people. If those people want to eat something beyond nuts and berries, they need to learn how to work within their limits. Places like the Co-op which offer classes and accurate labels are doing a public service out of a concern for others. This is called COMPASSION.
Perhaps of g would pick a food allergy sich as gluten and religiously read and translate tinsy tiny lists of ingredients, he might appreciate why a bit of help for a small minority is a good thing. As a bonus, the Co-op does't need gov'mt entitlements, taxes, or other nasty things.

A quick google search on "gluten" reveals that .5 to 1.% of people have problems that require them to avoid this protein. Considering the small percent of the pop. that needs to adhere to a diet such as this, why do co-ops and other alternative oriented groups seem to devote so much attention to this type of diet? No snarkyness intended here, I'm just curious why gluten in the diet receives so much attention when other food related conditions do not. Are there other reason besides actual physical intolerance that make this type of diet attractive?
