In the span of two weeks I have learned that a relative and old childhood friend who have been in and out of doctors offices for past year were recently diagnosed as being allergic to Gluten. Gluten is a special type of protein that is commonly found in rye, wheat, and barley. Therefore, it is found in most types of cereals and in many types of bread. Not all foods from the grain family, however, contain gluten. Examples of grains that do not have gluten include wild rice, corn, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, quinoa, teff, oats, soybeans, and sunflower seeds. There was also a segment on Today this morning regarding it being gluten free as the next Hollywood diet.
