Quitting gluten was harder than quitting smoking. The results of both were beneficial, but when it came to cheating, the difference was significant: One made me cough a bit the next day, the other put me nearly out of digestive commission for a full 24 hours. And whereas avoiding a cigarette was pretty straightforward, gluten was everywhere, taunting me. Those wheat-filled menus. Those delectable scents.
Gluten-free options aren’t bountiful in Seattle, but they’re more plentiful than in Florida, where I used to live. Here, more places than not cater to people with food sensitivities or allergies, or to those abstaining for lifestyle or ethical reasons. I discovered Nuflours within the first month of living here and fell in love.
