Meijer in Bloomington, Illinois has a complete gluten free shelf-line. Never saw such a thing outside of a catalog.

Guess they have a whole, big bunch of folks there who need a gluten free diet ~ this is right where Southern/Central Illinois blends into Northern Illinois with its Scandinavian majority, so that may explain part of it.

Gluten intolerance is very common among the Irish. I'm half Irish, 1/4 Welsh. The other 1/4 comes with a Norman surname. When I was dining at a Thai restaurant in Countryside, IL, I asked my server what items were gluten free. The two Irish guys at the adjacent table quickly volunteered the list of safe stuff on the menu. They had already done the research and we frequent patrons at that restaurant.
