    Is the Gluten-free Bubble Ready to Burst?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 05/02/2014 - Depending on who is making the calculations, the market for gluten-free foods has either peaked, or will continue to rise over the next five years.

    Photo: CC--SnapClickPicTAccording to Packaged Facts, the gluten-free (gluten-free) market has peaked. And in the past two years, it has failed to attract new users.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Symphony IRI reports that growth rates of key label claims — organic, natural, and gluten-free — are leveling off.

    In the Executive briefing "What's In Store for Health & Wellness?" sales growth rates of products featuring several high-profile claims slowed in 2012.

    NPD reports that gluten free growth remains small. About 28 percent of adults 18 and older reported they are avoiding gluten, a scant one-percent increase since 2010.

    Some other interesting data that indicate that gluten-free food trends may be about to level include Hartman's report that 95 percent of consumers who followed a gluten-free diet admit they did not suffer from celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

    According to Mintel, 65 percent of gluten-free consumer think those foods are healthier, while 27 percent eat them because they believe they promote weight loss.

    The report notes that gluten-free sales levels will level and recede as this misinformation is corrected, and more consumers abandon their gluten-free diets.

    I was hoping we were still on the upswing of this. I believe that if it continues growing the products will become more affordable for restaurants and will give us celiacs more choices for dining out!

    I do not beleive the statement " 95 percent of people that follow a gluten free diet admit to not having celiac". It is so sad for us that do follow one because then others don't take you seriously when we really do have CELIAC. I am not sure this article is by someone who knows what they are talking about.

    I totally agree with Kay.

    I agree, it does make it less serious for those of us who do have celiacs. Also with the trends changing, the price stays higher and makes it less affordable. Which does not help...it is sad.

    I guess us people with celiac are up the creek now. It is so expensive to follow the gluten-free diet, as for restaurants, it's a racket, they don't even display the prices when you ask for the gluten-free menu.

    Celiac.com 09/22/2011 - Serbian Tennis star Novak Djokovic has gone on a major victory streak since going gluten-free late last year, winning 62 matches, including the Wimbledon championship, and losing just two in 2011.
    Most recently, Djokovic earned his first-ever U.S. Open tennis championship with a grueling  6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 victory over Rafael Nadal that took 4 hours and 10 minutes to complete.
    Djokovic, who had been hovering near the top of the men's world tennis rankings for several years, credits his most recent break through to a gluten-free diet. Djokovic adopted the gluten-free diet after testing by his nutritionist showed him to be gluten intolerant.
    Because Djokovic cannot process the carbohydrates that were his most common fuel source, and he was forced ...

    Celiac.com 02/15/2012 - At the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting held in Washington, DC, Caris Diagnostics, a leader in anatomic pathology services, presented 15 abstracts highlighting new findings that reflect and expand Caris' commitment to gastrointestinal disease research.
    Highlights from the presentation include two studies, in particular. The first study, "High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Women With Young Onset Collagenous Colitis," found that young women with collagenous colitis are eight times more likely than the general population to have celiac disease.
    That study was authored by Ahmed Bedeir, MD, Bhaskar Ganguly, and Mukunda Ray, MD, PhD. As Dr. Bedeir's finding is gleaned from the largest series of young patients with collagenous...

    Celiac.com 07/04/2014 - Celiac disease can be a factor in many cases of unexplained infertility in women. The recent case in Orlando, Florida of a woman named Vicky Crust, serves to drive home that fact, and to illustrate the potential benefits of a gluten-free diet in such cases.
    Crust suffered for years from abdominal pain, constipation, weight loss and a skin rash that overtook her nose, mouth and legs. Now, in spite of all these symptoms, Crust married, and began trying to start a family with her husband. She conceived twice, but was unable to carry full term. She couldn’t figure it out, and neither could doctors. Doctor after doctor failed to diagnose her celiac disease, and her symptoms grew worse as she progressed into her twenties.
    In 2010, Crust was diagnosed w...
