I eat gebrochts. If someone comes to me who does not, I specifically make several alternatives for that guest that will be non-gebrochts, so the guest has plenty to choose from. Al pi halacha, the guest IS permitted to eat even from food that was cooked in a pot that previously held gebrochts. Saying that it is not permissible is a mistake. Gebrochts/non-gebrochts are only a minhag. The fact that they are b’davka eaten on the eighth day of yom tov, proves it is not assur l’chatchilah. If there were a chashash of chometz, gebrochts would be assur even on the eighth day, just as mamesh cometz is. But to each his own. Pesach is definitely a gluten-sufferer’s delight.
