The popularity of the gluten-free diet is driven by misconceptions concerning its efficacy for everything from weight control to sports performance. It is time to step back and review the current state of diagnostic methods, diet treatment, and thehealth-related outcomes of celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals. This review was undertaken to propose changes to wellness promotion and food industry practices for people who are in the gluten intolerant spectrum, and to identify opportunities forresearch in nutrition and wellness products and services.
