Health Notes from Dr. Liz: Gluten-Free Eating
More than a diet craze, gluten–free eating is mainstream among those looking to improve their health. The protein in wheat, called gluten, can wreak havoc for people suffering from celiac disease, a serious and debilitating inflammatory condition of the intestines. While very few people have true celiac disease (less than one percent of the population), more may suffer from less severe intestinal troubles such as gas and bloating that may possibly be triggered by gluten.
