Gluten Food Allergy

Food Allergies – Gluten – Celiac

Gluten - Celiac Disease this a wheat allergy which children and adults are now experiencing in large numbers. Wheat is now in most packaged foods sold in the markets today. A special diet is required. Read and educate yourself on different food allergies and how you can protect yourself and your family. Today food packing in some instances will actually read Gluten Free on the label of the bottle or box. But it is best to cook your own food. In this way, you will know what it is you are eating. Even it the label states Gluten Free it might still upset your stomach.

It seems I know more and more people with food allergies. I think, we must wonder about mass food production. Is it really good for us?
