Best Sites The Case Against Gluten (Medical Journal References) is a survey of recent literature on gluten sensitivity without full blown celiac disease. The author is arguing for a paleo diet for all. Gluten: What You Don't Know Might Kill You by Mark Hyman, MD brings us up-to-date on health problems caused by gluten, gluten sensitivity as a disorder in itself, and the latest in testing protocol.

GlutenWiki.com is a new site (as of April 2010) that has software like Wikipedia for user contributed information. At this point it is more a site for you to add to than a site for you to get information from. Malabsorption and Delinquency was written by George Von Hilsheimer back in 1977.
