Popular diets comes and go. The latest diet hitting US of A is the gluten free eating diet.

Gluten as we know it, usually can be found in wheat, barley and rye to name a few. The symptoms of gluten intolerance can includes gastrointestinal problems that can be very severe and last for days to shortness of breath and rashes.

The trend of going gluten free is being noticed by the mainstream restaurants and grocery stores and they are making bundle of profits from this new diet.

Since 2006 when it surface, gluten-free products now is a $2.5 billion industry. Who wouldn't want to enter into this venture?

Nowadays restaurants such as Outback Steakhouse, TGI Fridays and Jose Muldoon's operations have separate gluten-free menus. Grocery stores such as King Soopers sells more than 2,000 gluten-free items with designated tags and offers monthly gluten-free grocery store tours.

An advantage at the moment for these gluten-free products is that protein in wheat nowadays has become more complex and an increasing number of people have difficulty processing it. Moreover even though wheat nowadays is more technologically advances than it use to be, it may not be more nutritional than it used to be.
