    If gluten were broken down in digestion, we wouldn't be reacting to them. The natural diet of chickens, cattle, and pigs is not corn, wheat, and soy. GMO is also a factor. I suggest you check out the writings of Dr. Steven Grundy. The most sensitive people may react to grain-fed meat. I was unable to eat eggs for years without an inflammatory response...

    A person can certainly get enough calories eating animal products, vegetables, and fruit. I think he needs to consider that gluten-free products may be highly processed and inferior in nutrition than eating foods prepared from basic ingredients. Mashed root vegetables with butter instead of bread, for instance.

    Some people are so sensitive to grains and soybeans that they react to the proteins that animals fed these pass into meat, dairy products, poultry, and eggs. I can eat some dairy products (pastured yogurt and most cheeses) and pastured eggs, but get serious inflammation from non-pastured products.

    I make grain-free flatbreads using a variety of flours like almond flour, cassava flour, tapioca starch, millet flour, bean flour, etc. Pizza dough tastes best using yeast as leavening and extra virgin olive oil. Crushed rosemary/garlic powder/oregano for flavoring optional. The dough will not roll out, but just press it into a greased nonstick pan.

    Canola oil is not a natural food for humans. Liquid vegetable oils have been newly introduced into the human diet since the start of the industrial age, and are nothing like what we evolved on.

    That happened to me. Abdominal tenderness and cramping, feverish, feeling of being deathly ill. Decaf didn't help me, either. I found I can drink a cup of coffee once or twice a year. Eating breakfast out isn't the same without coffee. Most places can't make tea worth drinking.

    I always use separately purchased spices, though sometimes I mix some myself. My mother never buys spices separately. When I wanted to sprinkle pepper on something at the table, she didn't have any, just lots of bottles of "seasoning blends".

    Considering how limited your diet is, you could very well be malnourished. A vitamin pill is not a substitute for an adequate diet, and a lot of the more expensive vitamins are barely there.

    How much fat do you have in your diet? If you don't have enough, that alone would cause dry skin that will crack. You need to get a nutrition guide and write down everything you eat for a while, analyzing for fat, protein and carbohydrates. If you're not getting 30% fat it's probably not enough.

    It always seems like, regardless of how well they have put together a varied menu with acceptable dinner options there's nothing for dessert that doesn't contain gluten. Dang.
