There are many good people online writing about Gluten Free and health, Coeliac and Celiac disease and symptoms related to the disease.
This is one more of my weekly posts about articles I’ve been reading and I think are worth your time to read.
1) Cooking for a gluten-free diet is the title of Newsleader.com
“A friend of mine, Gloria Craig, was diagnosed with intolerance to gluten called Celiac disease or Celiac Sprue. According to the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, “Gluten intolerance is the result of an immune-mediated response to the ingestion of gluten (from wheat, rye, and barley) that damages the small intestine.” Gloria informed me that it’s not just the foods she eats that can be contaminated with gluten, but also cosmetics, detergents, soaps, etc.”
2) Gluten Free Blog and their meeting with Sarah Vowell
“My wife and I quickly met Sarah Vowell, of NPR (National Public Radio)…Miss Vowell, like many of the readers of the Gluten-Free Blog, suffers from Celiac Sprue and must avoid all gluten. She is an accomplished author, commentator, humorist, journalist, and perhaps what many of the younger crowd will know her as: the voice of Violet in the animated film The Incredibles.”
3) Same writers from Gluten Free Blog say “sooner did Barack Obama become President than sales of our Gluten-Free Cook Book suddenly surged”
4) Gluten free simplicity show “how to tell is a Gluten Free Menu is really a gluten free.
“As a person with Celiac Disease who spent many years (about 20) working in food service, prior to just as many years in higher education, I have closely examined “Gluten-Free” Menus whenever I have been afforded the opportunity. Following a brief period of wonder and gratitude, I could not help but start to notice the potential for misunderstandings that can lead to big problems. ”
