Going Gluten-Free

Going Gluten-Free

These days, you’d be hard pressed to find a grocery store without a gluten-free section. While a gluten-free diet may be the latest food trend — with many celebs and soccer moms alike turning their backs on the protein found in grains like wheat, barley and rye — going gluten-free isn’t a lifestyle choice for some. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, about 1 in 100 US adults has celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder that can cause damage to the small intestine when gluten is ingested), and many more have gluten sensitivity. If you or someone you love is thinking about going gluten-free, talk to your doctor and check out these steps to make the going a little bit easier.
