Gluten-free going mainstream....

More and more articles are publishing info on going gluten-free, intolerance, and celiac.   The latest article I've read was in BHG's July issue.  Unfortunately, they do not seem to have it posted online, but it is a nice little overview of gluten issues, along with some good links on gluten intolerance/celiac.  

I'm appreciative of this because, even though it is more mainstream, most gluten-free stuff is higher-cal/lower fiber than the conventional foods, and the article mentions this.    I do wish they'd also included a reading list of books and other resources for gluten-free living...

My favorite one, of course, is by Jax Peters Lowell.   But there are also some great cookbooks out there that are either gluten-free or can be adapted to be gluten-free.    I love Raw Food cookbooks for that reason...  although they have a lot of sprouted wheat, sprouted barley, they have a lot of other ideas that can be successful for gluten-free living.  The soups, the desserts, in particular...
