Mom Helps Novak Djokovic Stick to Gluten-free Diet

I often find that the general public knows very little about gluten-free, or people who need to stay on this diet. In this otherwise fine article, you include a sentence toward the end that sounds like red meat has gluten. Please be careful with your wording, as there's already enough misinformation out there regarding gluten-free food.

I support Jeanne's comment - almost everyone I know has no real idea what gluten-free means. Of course there is no gluten in meat. Gluten is in almost all grains - some more, some less. Almost all of my lifelong digestive problems were because of celiac disease, and I did not know it. Back then (I am 77) no one had any idea about celiac disease. Now, at least, some people are catching on to it.

I wish more doctors would become more open to it. I have only ever had one who was.

Hi Jeanne: I have just made a comment which supports you. Thanks for your clear thinking.

I agree that this article could mislead and may make people think red meat has gluten. However, it is good to write about famous people who are struggling with celiac disease. This may help others to better understand what the disease is about and how to face it on a daily basis.

Very interesting subject - have only discovered that i am gluten intolerant after many years of terrible stomach problems since i was a little girl. It is all so clear now.

This is somewhat misleading. There are many, many grains that don't contain gluten: quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, corn/maize, millet, rice, tapioca, to name a few. I find it pretty easy to stay gluten-free with so much choice

Some of those aren't actually grains.

I'm also from country (Croatia, EU) where it's normal to eat lots of bread, spaghetti, pizza... it's in our Mediterranean culture... I had strange health episodes: fast heart beat, pain in the bones, allergies... now I'm happy because 3 years I'm on gluten free diet and all my problems are vanished... and I want to share with others because I discovered that in my thirties.
