Yes, some people have suggested gluten free diets, but the research does not seem to point that way, at least for now. Their latest research, which we try to follow, points at the emulsifiers used in processed foods. Special lab mice fed with equivalent doses of emulsifiers had the heavy protective mucous lining of their intestines destroyed by the emulsifiers. Bakeries are the biggest users of emulsifiers in the country, by far, so I thought I would start with trying emulsifier free bread. The emulsifiers improve quality and texture of all bought baked goods, so you can't really buy any baked goods without it. All the commercial yeasts I have found have emulsifiers added into the yeast --- no choice! I figure the natural yeast would not have artificial emulsifiers; thus my interest in sourdough.
