Wheat, Gluten and Health 

The Science Behind Gut Health and Food Intolerances

 
This self-study module has been approved by the Commission of Dietetic Registration for 1 hour of level 2 continuing professional education units (CPEUs). 

Julie Miller Jones will present the science, incidence and mechanism behind food intolerances, gluten sensitivity, and Celiac Disease.  She will explain the etiology of poor gut health, the role of the microbiome, and the mechanisms by which poor gut health can lead to food intolerances and sensitivities. She will also examine the concept that a gluten-free diet is healthful for everyone, even those who are not gluten sensitive or who do not have Celiac’s Disease.
