Being gluten-free means avoiding anything that contains wheat, rye or barley. Doctors recommend this diet for people who have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. However, some women choose to go gluten-free for other health reasons. Gluten-free doesn't have to mean without flavor though. With the popularity of gluten-free diets, there are an increasing number of delicious items out there. Try one of these and you'll see just what I mean.
