A Gluten Free Earth?

Yes, it could happen! Gluten in a protein found in wheat, kamut, spelt, rye, barley and triticale. Gluten makes the bread dough soft and flexible when kneaded. Many persons have a genetic disorder called " Celiac Disease" It affects one in 133 in the United States. A gluten free diet really helps a person suffering from this disorder. Many foods are now available in "gluten free" variations, but you must be a careful label reader. For a good list of foods to eat and not to eat to avoid gluten, check out mayoclinic.com/health/gluten-free-diet/myo1140 , glutenfreecookingschool.com and csaceliacs.org/recipes all good information and recently updated also. There is so much good info online, check these and others out for some good ideas and reading. I learned doing the research on this, glad to see more info everyday!
