Apr. 14, 2011 (McClatchy-Tribune ... Some people who don't have celiac disease may benefit from diets free of (or low in) gluten. But are these diets inherently healthier? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It gradually damages the intestines of people with celiac disease, resulting in a laundry list of related health problems. But even people who don't have celiac disease may benefit from diets free of (or low in) gluten. Experts now believe that celiac disease is simply the far end of a broad spectrum of gluten intolerance. As much as 10 percent of the U.S. population may have a related and poorly understood condition known as non-celiac gluten intolerance (NCGI), or gluten sensitivity. CNN reports: _"Gluten intolerance of any kind -- including celiac disease -- is often underdiagnosed (or misdiagnosed) because it manifests itself in many and murky ways that can baffle doctors.

The clinical symptoms of CD appear only in the final stages of the disease... Gluten should be avoided by people with celiac disease. But what about the rest of us?

The label means plenty! But in a nutshell, it means avoiding wheat, spelt, barley and rye, and a variety of other grain-based ingredients. Gluten-free foods are being sought out by many people, including the over 3 million people who have celiac disease, as well as millions more who have a gluten intolerance or sensitivity...
