Gluten-Free Roundup: February 15, 2012

Every Wednesday I plan to bring you a roundup of interesting news stories from the world of Celiac and gluten-free living.  Please feel free to email me if you have any stories you think are worthy of including in the next week's edition.  Enjoy!
  • Foodprocessing.com has an article passing along the obvious story that that there is a major financial opportunity for food manufacturers/distributors to jump on board the gluten-free train.  Despite this, consumers may be reluctant to try new brands and instead look to the gluten-free versions of brands they already trust. The article also examines the cost-benefit analysis companies undergo when deciding whether to enter the gluten-free marketplace.
  • The Boston Globe reports that Norwood, Massachusetts is now carrying gluten-free products.  
  • NPR suggests that Baking Without Flour Brings Sweet Results.
  •  According to a new American Gastroenterological Association study, individuals with Celiac disease increase in risk of GI cancers for the first year after diagnosis, but no increased risk thereafter (via Celiac Central).
