The Gluten Dilemma

Gluten is a controversial and much discussed (anti?)nutrient Whichever side of the divide you stand on, gluten-related issues need to be addressed and its not at all unusual for someone who has already made changes to their diet for health reasons to find that they may fare better without gluten, or even without true grains.  Sometimes it's not the gluten. Other factors must be considered  What are the nutritional considerations of avoiding gluten containing foods? We have no agenda with respect to gluten: one of us avoids it and the other doesn't need to, so we don't promote either avoidance or inclusion in the diet. 

It is our aim in this event to explore the whole area of gluten and to help to provide a balanced view that will hopefully help anyone who is uncertain to decide what course of action to take (if any). We will suggest alternatives that will not sacrifice any of the enjoyment and pleasure that a whole food plantbased way of eating can bring.
