Nitty-gritty of gluten free
Hi! To bring you up to speed about celiac disease and gluten intolerance, click here to link to a newsletter article, courtesy of the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, a service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health!
Much more information (including various research papers) is available on the NIDDK website (click here).
Also, the organizations provided on my resources/links page (click here) provide a wealth of information about the spectrum of gluten-related conditions.
In addition, there is an excellent summary/brief history of the earlier history of gluten/allergen food labeling at Glutenfreeda.com (click here). The FDA has not arrived at a take-it-to-the-bank definition of gluten free. The best we have, then, is the European Union version. Please note that the E.U. version still allows products to be labelled "gluten free" while containing very small amounts of gluten.
More currently, this state of affairs is discussed in a post at the Saavy Celiac (click here).
Happy reading!
