Benefits of giving up gluten are few, unless you’re a celiac - thestar.com

Benefits of giving up gluten are few, unless you’re a celiac - thestar.com

We all know that a gluten free diet is necessary for Celiac Diease and that the gluten-free fad prevents people from being diagnosed properly with Celiac Disease. However, we often forget about people like me that were put on a gluten-free diet years ago, before being tested for Celiac Disease. The gluten-free fad is not changing whether or not people get diagnosed properly, MIS-EDUCATION is what is PREVENTING both CELIAC DIAGNOSIS and diagnosis of gluten sensitivity. It's time to educate on how to get tested for Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity and the mirage of symptoms that are correlated with both. Let's stop focusing on who should and shouldn't be eating a gluten free diet and let's start focusing on getting the 97% to 99% of un-diagnosed Celiacs diagnosed. It's true that people can eat an un-healthy gluten-free diet, just like they can eat an un-healthy gluten-filled diet.
