The Rice Answer! The Perfect Grain for Gluten-Free

A growing number of consumers today are interested in gluten-free diets. The reason is Celiac disease that, according to National Institutes of Health estimates, may affect three million or about 1 in every 100 Americans. For adults and children with allergies to gluten, enriched white and whole grain brown rice provide a versatile, healthy grain solution. Gluten is a protein found in some grain-based foods, such as wheat, barley, rye and oats (WBRO). Rice is gluten-free and non-allergenic, so it's the perfect food choice for adults and children who are gluten-intolerant.

Here you will find resources to help you live a gluten-free lifestyle.

USA Rice Federation is a member of the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), a leading advocacy and resource organization for those with Celiac disease. For more information on Celiac disease, visit the Celiac Sprue Association website at http://www.csaceliacs.org.
