why is gluten free food so dry?

[Guest guest]

i always get a kick out of trying gluten free things such as bread, bagels, etc.

while i

appreciate my luck in having these items available, I realize that all of these

gluten free foods

are so dry and sometimes fall apart easily. does anyone know why these foods

are so dry

and what steps can be taken to avoid the dryness in baking? thanks in advance.
