Fad or Fact? Gluten-free eating.


The need for some to eliminate gluten from their diet (it is believed as many as 18 million Americans suffer from some form of gluten sensitivity) has caused many to consider the facts versus the fads of this medical condition. However, learning your body does not tolerate gluten - a protein found in wheat, barley and rye - can be pretty upsetting. It's easy to assume the tasty options when it comes to pasta, pizza, sweets and more are, well, no more. But there are some great options for creating gluten-free recipes,  should you be looking to do so - including pudding!


If you're looking for some real-life stories of people who discovered the medical diagnosis which requires an elimination of gluten from their diets, we found a great example from  Gluten Free Girl & The Chef


Of course, all medical advice and recommendations should come from those with M.D. (or some sort of medical degree) behind their name. But if any of these resources are helpful, we're glad.
