Depends on circumstances, of course, but if I am cooking I really
appreciate knowing in advance people's dietary restrictions. In many
cases it is just as easy to make a dish without wheat as the default
with.

Yes, it is. The number of people who go into a flap about "You mean you
can't eat any bread, biscuits/cookies, cake, scones, bagels,
breadcrumbs, etc etc ad nauseam AT ALL? Then what do you eat?" can be
amusing. Eating GF isn't as big a deal as a lot of people think, but it
does mean using a whole lot fewer processed foods.

This is so true. :-) A wheat based diet seems to be the american way.
Frankly, I don't miss the stuff when it makes me deathly ill for hours
when I dare to eat more than a sampling of it.

Dad brought home some marble cake a few days ago. After a couple of
days of resisting it (and being in one of my less resistant "moods"), I
finally gave in and ate a couple of small (1") slices of it.

Spent the next 6 hours in bed being very sick until I was able to
finally throw most of it up. I just can't seem to digest it and my
stomach won't empty... Just sits in there and rots and builds up acid.

Nasty.
