Like lactose, many people are becoming more and more intolerant to gluten. For some, it's sensitivity, while for others, it's a life-altering allergy that prohibits them from eating some of life's most decadent delights.
Thankfully, more and more bakeries and pastry shops are offering gluten-free alternatives, and some run an entirely gluten-free operation!
Here are some gluten-free businesses in the area that you can grab your next treat from.
