GLUTEN FREE DILL ONION BROWN BREAD

Recently I went to a vegan cafe.  I ordered loaded nachos and I SWEAR that I had chili with meat and cheese in the "not cho cheese".  Later I learned that the meat I thought I was eating was bean curd and the "not cho cheese" I was eating was actually peanut butter! WHAT! No way! I do not believe it.  So this yummy meal led me to look at other vegan and something "free" meals.

When walking out of my local grocery store I noticed a flyer for gluten-free bread.  Being 100% honest I have no clue what gluten is.  I don't know what it means to be free from it or anything.  Reading the brochure I noticed that an allergic reaction to gluten looks like a lot of other illnesses.  Here are a list of "reactions" or symptoms of being allergic to gluten:

•Indigestion
•Heart burn
•Irritable bowel syndrome
•Itchy skin rash
•Fatigue
•Diarrhea
•Constipation
•Flatulence
•Acid reflux
•Unexplained weight loss /Unexplained weight gain
•Irritability
•Behavioral changes
•Headaches
•Abdominal pain
•Eczema
•Disturbed sleep


This is just a small portion of the possibilities.  If you are suffering any of the above symptoms or those found by a simple Google search for keywords "gluten allergies".

Here is a recipe for gluten-free dill onion brown bread:
