Gluten-free for everyone?

Is gluten-free food a fad?  Some say “yes.”   Gluten – a protein composite in wheat, barley and rye grain – is not tolerated by the body of people who have Celiac disease.  Harvard Medical School says while some 300-thousand Americans have been diagnosed with Celiac disease,  2-Million Americans are following a gluten-free diet.  Many gluten-free foods do not contain vitamins and minerals that their gluten-counterparts do, so if you don’t need to eat gluten-free foods you may be shortchanging your nutritional needs.
