For the last few years, the number of Americans going on gluten-free diets has increased. It make sense: Doctors are diagnosing more people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
But a strange thing is happening: People who don&#8217;t have either condition are cutting gluten out of their diet in an effort to lose weight and cleanse [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pokedandprodded.health.com&blog=2779996&post=5183&subd=healthpoked&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

For the last eight months, my wife and I have been focusing on managing our son&#8217;s multiple food allergies from day to day. We haven&#8217;t thought much about the future: Feeding him when he&#8217;s allergic to wheat, eggs, corn, soy, peanuts, and chicken is time-consuming enough.

Trying to help your severely allergic child enjoy the good things in life without risking his life can be challenging. Unless you&#8217;re blessed enough to live in a big city with bakers who produce gluten- and allergen-free breads and sweets, you have only two options: Learn to bake or order your goodies online.

When my wife and I tell people that our son, Graeme, is allergic to wheat, most of them assume he has a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. When I explain that he actually has a wheat allergy, which is different, they usually look confused.
I don&#8217;t blame them. Until my son developed severe food allergies, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pokedandprodded.health.com&blog=2779996&post=4733&subd=healthpoked&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

With two children under 5 years of age, our family gets invited to a lot of birthday parties. Since the beginning of school, we have been to at least one celebration every other week. The themes are similar and so are the treats—cakes and ice cream laden with allergens our son Graeme can&#8217;t have.
