The American Dietetic Association

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has published an updated and revised edition (6th) of the “Manual of Clinical Dietetics” that offers an international perspective on the dietary treatment of many diseases. The chapter on celiac disease, written by a team of dietitians, includes diet guidelines that are consistent with international standards.

These guidelines, created through a partnership between American and Canadian dietitians, differ from those previously recommended in this country.

The Manual of Clinical Dietetics is a well recognized source of information for the dietary treatment of different illnesses. "It is the most up to date source currently available, and is used by many hospitals and by practicing dietitians across the country," " says Betsy Hornick, RD, editor of the volume. "I think this sixth edition is special because it reflects both US and Canadian practices."

The Guidelines

These new guidelines offer freedom from avoiding products due to unidentified vinegar. They offer greater choice in alcoholic drinks should you choose to use them. Perhaps the most exciting change is the variety and nutrition buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, millet and teff, bring to the GF diet..

One year ago, after careful research, Gluten-Free Living published a basic diet that is consistent with the recommendations now approved by the ADA. We did that to try to sort out the confusion here in this country and only after careful research. The GFL diet had been reviewed and approved by the Gluten-Free Living Medical and Dietitian advisory boards
