My Take on the Whole Gluten Trend

The article which left me fuming last week inspired me to take action.

After discussing it on the forums, I first realized that people who do have a severe gluten sensitivity, such as celiac, are concerned that this growing trend may undermine the severity of their conditions. Initially, this was not what I saw, all that I saw was that the author was undermining the millions who are still undiagnosed, by failing to realize that more attention and awareness means more diagnoses.

I thought about all of this long and hard over the weekend, trying to consider the feelings from both sides of the fence, and came up with, what I believe, is a pretty good summary.

And thus I give you, my latest article on Celiac.com:


Enjoy!
