There is a new trend in our food world. The Gluten Free diet! Or is it a trend? Increased diagnosis of Celiac disease and gluten intolerace has created the need for a gluten free diet. From what I understand, Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disease. Many people seem to be concerned, thus the new market for "gluten free" foods.
