...so if you didn't already know, i've been on a wheat-free/gluten-free dairy-free diet for about 8 months now. and when i say dairy-free, i mean completely dairy-free not just lactose-free, there is a difference (i didn't know that a first either). the difference is this annoying little milk protein called "casein". so when products say "lactose-free" they are not completely dairy-free, or vegan. i am not vegan because i do eat meat and chicken but when i bake or when i am shopping, i look for vegan products because then i am sure they are dairy-free. luckily, it is now a little easier to ...

The risks of gluten allergies have been underestimated, according to a study published Tuesday which found increased mortality rates among people with celiac disease. Celiac disease is triggered by exposure to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Found in about one percent of the Western population, it damages the small intestines and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. People with celiac disease often also have other diseases which attack the immune system such as diabetes or arthritis. However, celiac disease often goes undiagnosed until substantial damage has been done to the digestive system. Using data taken from biopsies taken ... Read Full Story

They do also make corn ... Read Full Story
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Celiac disease doesn't only affect the young, new research from Finland confirms, but can strike a person for the first time in later life. In people with celiac disease, eating gluten-a protein found in many types of grain-causes the immune system to launch an attack on the small intestine. This can eventually damage the organ and lead to poor absorption of nutrients, especially fat. But people with celiac disease who cut gluten out of their diet can avoid symptoms and complications. It's now possible to use blood tests to determine whether or not a person has celiac disease, which ... Read Full Story

October is Celiac Awareness Month in the United States, designated to encourage all types of public media to share information about celiac disease . There's no doubt that diagnosed cases of Celiac disease, sometimes called gluten intolerance, have risen dramatically in recent years, but the good news is that there's also a corresponding increase in resources for people who need to avoid gluten in their diet. Google Health defines Celiac Disease as "an inherited, autoimmune disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats." No one knows whether ... Read Full Story

"A perfect glass-of-milk kind of snacking cake." [Photographs: Lucy Baker] Many would argue that gluten-free is the new cholesterol-free, fat-free, or carb-free. That is to say, it's the latest diet trend. Maybe gluten-free products are currently having their glitter moment, but there is no denying the facts: as many as three million Americans have celiac disease, and the number of gluten-intolerant people is even greater—about one in 133...
