The Gluten-free Glutton blog written by Mark Basch, a foodie who was diagnosed with celiac disease this year, has a number of interesting entries. On July 2, 2011, he wrote about the frustrations and limitations of a gluten-free diet and cited a British study that found 42 percent of people eating gluten-free foods would prefer a vaccine to treat the disease, if one were available.
On July 1, 2011, Basch recounted a conversation with a nutritionist, who told him that many celiac patients deprive themselves of needed fiber, calcium and iron.
She recommended more consumption of nine “superfoods” identified by the Mayo Clinic. They are almonds, apples, blueberries, broccoli, red beans, salmon, spinach, sweet potatoes and vegetable soup.
