   Hi Pamela, A friend of mine has just been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, and is now wondering what foods she can eat and which she should avoid. I know she's seeing a dietitian next week - but in the meantime, what can you suggest? Thanks for your help! :-) Liz

   Actually, I can help a bit. I have a client with the same issue. Basically wheat products need to be avoided, however gluten sneaks into other things like soy sauce and salad dressing. Reading labels is very important. Here is a link to a really great site I used to research celiac disease, I think you will find it helpful.

   That's great - thank you so much! I'll pass that on to my friend. I've also found some apps for the iPhone (just type in 'gluten intolerance' and you get a whole host of them) which indicate which foods to avoid and which can be eaten safely. But gluten in soy sauce?? Wow.

   I know, it sneaks into all sorts of things. Hope everything goes well with your friends dietary adjustments. I am sure it is a process like anything else.

   You may know this site already, but just in case, you might like to check it out: http://jenncuisine.com/gluten-free/. This is a mostly 'gluten-free blog', as the writer's husband also suffers from a gluten intolerance. I was fairly impressed with the amount of info on there.
