Note from Peter: I received this very interesting article from Dr. Nikola Djordjevic that sheds valuable light on the gluten-free issue.\u00a0 It contains a link to a nicely done infographic that I can’t reproduce here but that you can access by clicking on the link below. As a pizza-themed site we don’t spend much time on the gluten-free segment here, but every restaurant operator, as well as most consumers, knows how crucial this issue is. Frankly, it can be a matter of life and death, and I’ve even co-written an entire book on the subject myself (“The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking”). So, as a public service and to provide a reference point for any future inquiries on the subject that come my way (or yours) feel free to refer them to this post.\u00a0 I want to thank Dr. Nikola Djordjevic, at MedAlertHelp.org for this article and links. <\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And, while we’re on the subject, for those who are looking for an excellent gluten-free pizza, I want to let you know that I recently worked with Amy’s Kitchen, the wonderful vegetarian frozen food company, to create a new generation organic gluten-free crust and frozen pizza that should be hitting the shelves in the very near future. Be on the look-out — it could be a game changer (and you don’t have to be gluten-free to enjoy it — it’s really tasty!).<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

The Gluten-Free Diet \u2013 Moving Beyond the Hype, by Dr. Nikola Djodjevic
\n<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There\u2019s a lot of information online about what going gluten-free means. There\u2019s also a lot of conflicting advice and some advice that is just plain incorrect. As a result, I decided that it was time to create a valuable resource that would clear up all the confusion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve done extensive research into the topic myself. Why? Because I wanted to find out what all the hype was about. The gluten-free diet has become very fashionable over the last few years but I wanted to know whether or not it was all it was cracked up to be. Furthermore, being a medical doctor, I was concerned about the idea that people were going to give up some dietary staples like wheat and oats. In the medical profession, we\u2019re always a little skeptical about the latest fad diets that come out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We\u2019re all for our patients cutting back on highly processed, sugary, junk food, but we get concerned when people are talking about getting rid of whole grains that provide valuable fiber. It\u2019s not something that we\u2019d recommend for everyone, and, as it turns out, the gluten-free diet is not ideal for everyone.\u00a0 Of course, when I\u2019d completed my research, I decided that the information should be shared. Considering that I\u2019d pored through pages and pages of research, I knew I could write and publish a lengthy research paper. That would have been great for my fellow doctors and me, but not much good for the layperson in the street. When people go looking for answers on the gluten-free diet, they\u2019re not looking for a thesis on the subject, they want clear, simple answers as fast as possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An Infographic Was the Perfect Format<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That\u2019s why my colleagues from MedAlertHelp<\/a> and I decided to create a comprehensive infographic<\/a> on the topic. There\u2019s still a lot of information there, but it\u2019s broken up into small factoids.<\/div>\n
