I found this excellent article about celiac disease by Debbie Gilbert on the Gainsville Times on-line edition.
She talked with Dr. Ben Gold, a pediatric gastroenterologist, Professor of Pediatrics and Microbiology,
Marcus Professor and Director, Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Emory University and Dr. Stephen Moore, a Gainesville gastroenterologist.
I especially like Dr. Moore’s advice:
Moore sees no reason for anybody to be on a gluten-free diet if they don’t have celiac disease.
“It’s a difficult diet to follow,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to put a child on the diet if they haven’t been tested and diagnosed as gluten-intolerant.”
