If people could just use common sense, none of this would be an issue. Sometimes I know my body needs more protein, so I grill a big steak or have liver and onions (good iron fix). Other times lots of fruit is the answer. At the risk of sounding "new age", our bodies tell us what we're missing, and then we can eat it! OTOH, I've heard a lot about gluten free diets, and have yet to explore it. Does that mean no more tapioca?

Nothing made with wheat flour. It's really not that big of a deal, considering that many other flours can be used to make baked goods. Tough to substitute for pizza dough, though. Atkins'low-carb diet is actually more restrictive, but once you get used to it, it isn't a big deal.
