They made it look like eating gluten free is a trend....it is the opposite we do it to stay healthy. Maybe I read it wrong or something. What does everyone else think?

Trend or not, WOO HOO to the 86% jump in new product releases!!! So long as the government is defining gluten free (which they're working on), a gluten free trend can only help is with product increases and awareness.

Never in my lifetime did I expect to see anything remotely like that. It's fantastic. When I was diagnosed it was considered extremely rare back in 1988.

This is exciting news, with hopes more will come.

I think this article needed to add a sentence such as, "The majority of people who eat gluten free do so because of a diagnosis of celiac; which is an intolerance to wheat, barley or rye; so for them this is not the next fad diet."

I agree it did make it sound like it was the newest fad which I don't think is the best thing, but like everyone has said.... whooo hoooo more products!

Celiac/DH and gluten intolerant are lifelong customers for these products. Keep these people healthy and since it's genetic, they will make more customers.

What food company wouldn't want to tap into that market?

THe media always jumps on a tunnel vision bandwagon. As do the manufacturers when they smell a way to make big profits. Plus, the media always lacks vital information, such as the WHY of the need to have gluten free foods!

This one, however, may actually help people in the long run because so many people remain undiagnosed.

I really couldn't give a rat's behind how the gluten-free diet gets more popular, just that IT DOES! The more popular, the more the demand, the more the variety and the lower the price! The added plus is that all those people who jump on the gluten-free fad diet, will end up feeling 10 times better, realize their gluten intolerance, and stay on the diet. It's a win-win situation, if you look at it in a positive light.....

:P

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!
