Freedom from gluten is becoming easier than ever, especially if you happen to be eating at the University of Connecticut.
Are you gluten-intolerant?
If you are not, odds are you know someone who is.
And if you are – as are an estimated 1 in 100 people who have celiac disease – you know how hard it is to eat gluten-free.
