(The below isn't quoted from the article - that's just me sharing what I've learned about the disorder the past few years from a variety of sources, including the internet, Jax Peters - The Gluten Free Bible, and a celiac support group I've attended. Oh - since I've written this on the fly at work - it's just what is in my head. I'm certain I've misspelled things and I might be off about a few items. If you want more info - check out the article above - which provides useful links!)
Gluten-Free by the way is for those of us who get *really* sick if anything has glutens in them. It's not a fad diet. It's not an allergy. And it's not to lose weight. Actually most celiacs lose weight and can't keep any on until they go gluten-free. Celiac disease was historically referred to as the wasting disease, even though not all celiacs and gluten intolerants have that symptom.
