Gluten Free article in the Oprah Magazine

Should You Go On A Gluten Free Diet? - The O Magazine

Articles, like this one in the Oprah Magazine (click on link above to read the article), help raise awareness about Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity and Intolerance.  The article brings out that, unfortunately, much of the commercially prepared  gluten free foods on the market are seriously lacking in nutrition.  This is not because gluten free grains do not contain vitamins, minerals and proteins!  It is because most of the manufacturers are only using processed grains, like white rice flour and various starches.  There is so much more in the world of gluten free eating than white rice!  Some tasty and nutritious grains to try are Quinoa, Buckwheat, Sorghum, Millet and Teff, just to name a few.  What is your favorite?
