How widespread are gluten-free foods? Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, sells gluten-free hot dogs and beer.

The bevy of new products, from gluten-free pasta to pizza and beer, are a boon to people with celiac disease, wheat allergies or gluten sensitivity who are on very restrictive diets. That group has grown dramatically in recent decades, for reasons not understood.

Are they beneficial to everyone else? Probably not.

The notion that a gluten-free diet can help people lose weight or avoid carbohydrates is a myth. "Many packaged gluten-free products are even higher in carbs, sugar, fat and calories than their regular counterparts, and they tend to be lower in fiber, vitamins and iron," says Shelley Case, a registered dietician on the medical advisory board of the Celiac Disease Foundation. "Gluten-free does not mean nutritious," she notes.

Do you agree? 

I find lots of Gluten-free products out in the market that are low in fiber, vitamins, iron and high in starches.

I also find lots of whole grain products, rich with quinoa, sorghum, almond flour and seeds that do a great job of replacing the missing nutrients of wheat.

I can also do a web search for blogs writing about thriving gluten free and use amazing recipes like the list below to enjoy terrrific and terrific for me foods.

Is the gluten free diet a fad? NO because it is the sole effective treatment currently for a gluten intolerant or celiac person.

Will everyone lose weight?  NO, but those of us who have been fighting inflammation for years most likely will.

Enjoy!
