Gluten Free Diets

We have come across an exciting new solution for people searching for information on Gluten Free Diets.

You see, there are literally thousands of websites out there that have information about Gluten Free diets, but the information is very fragmented.  This site is basically a one-stop resource for you.  I’ve tried to do a mash-up of all of the information out there and put it into a single site.  If you have any suggestions on how to make it better or if you find an article that I missed, please post a comment with the link on this post and I’ll look into it.

Thanks for stopping by.  if you’re looking for a great book with some tasty recipes, then I recommend you take a look at the Gluten Free Diet Books page.

Now here’s a basic overview of some reasons why people look into Gluten Free Diets:

Celiac Disease
Celiac Diseas is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from middle infancy onward. Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, failure to thrive (in children), and fatigue, but these may be absent, and symptoms in other organ systems have been described.  In a nutshell:

1. It is a digestive disease that causes damage to the small intestine and inhibits the absorption of nutrients.
2. It is a type of autoimmune disorder.
3. It is a real hassle

According to the following study, the only effective treatment is a life-long gluten free diet.

Kupper C (2005). “Dietary guidelines and implementation for celiac disease”. Gastroenterology128 (4 Suppl 1): S121–7. doi:10.1053/j.gastro.2005.02.024. PMID 15825119.
