I just read a great article on gluten on the Huffington Post called Gluten: What You Don’t Know Might Kill You. The author, Mark Hyman, MD, (who wrote The UltraMind Solution and publishes The UltraWellness Blog) discusses gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, some surprising (and not-so-surprising) diseases that can be caused by eating gluten, testing for gluten sensitivity, elimination diets, and more. I highly recommend this article.
There are several good, short articles on gluten at The Gluten Doctors blog, including Is All Gluten Bad?, Fibromyalgia and its Connection to Gluten Sensitivity, and Gluten Sensitive and the Flu Season. Doctors Vikki Petersen and Richard Petersen of HealthNOW Medical Center in Sunnyvale, California are also authors of the book The Gluten Effect.
And for those of you that missed it (including me), check out this landmark study: The Mayo Clinic Study Finds Celiac Disease Four Times More Common than in 1950s.
To your good health!

Dr. Vikki Petersen and the Health Now Medical Center are wonderful. When I lived near Sunnyvale I went there and they literally saved my life. They listened and tested me when no one else would. I finally had a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism (now all better). The best part about going there was finding out about the dangers of gluten and what it can do to a body.
I had Dr. Vikki on my BlogTalk Radio Show earlier this year. She is a wealth of information!!! Anyone can check it out at http://blogtalkradio.com/carlascooking.
Thank you for posting all of this wonderful information!
