It has been nearly ten years since I kicked gluten out of my life. For the most part, I don't miss it. If one thing tempts me, though, it's the thought of a pepperoni pizza with fresh tomatoes from the
Wazee Supper Club in lower downtown Denver. My dear friend and former coworker Larry introduced me to the Wazee, and I visited often. This evening, I thought of my long-ago haunt while Dennis, Henry, Sam and I were enjoying some hot spaghetti sauce with mozzarella cheesesticks and tortilla chips. The fresh tomatoes on the counter sealed the deal.

My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease six years ago, and all the kids went gluten-free a year later. The positive changes in health and behavior were pretty stunning.
Now, a number of our family members are gluten-free, many after a celiac diagnosis. Perhaps the most dramatic change took place in an autistic nephew after just five days on a gluten-free, casein-free diet.
