A few years ago, my DH went a year gluten-free. I should say that he did his best because we know there were w few times he missed it as an ingredient. His doctor had recommended he try going gluten-free to see if it helped with his Hasimoto's. He found it did not help this in any way he could tell and it also did not improve his lab test results (for his thyroid markers). However, he says he felt so much better that he now mostly skips gluten. He will "save up" and have it on occasion with something he really likes. You can translate that to NOT every day... and this is a guy who went for YEARS (no exaggeration) having a ham and cheese sandwich (with dijon mustard) for lunch.
We have the bread thing worked out - I've made gluten-free breads that are okay (in my opinion - just okay, not great), but they are NOT like the commercial ones. He will buy a loaf or two each month and make them last.
I'm wondering if anyone here has had success with gluten-free cakes, preferably light in texture. I have some fairly good ones that are based in nut flours, but they are quite hearty.
