C-sections appear to increase the chances of celiac disease in children with the gene, compared to vaginal births. Clearly the celiac story is more complex than simple genetics, not surprising considering the increasing trend of celiac disease.
This may seem amazing, but there is more to the caesarean section – health connection than just celiac disease, although celiac is the focus of this article.

Should schizophrenics cut out gluten? Yes and no. It may not help the way you might hope in all cases but it still is important.
There is evidence that gluten may be an important cause of schizophrenia for at least some people, see external links below and the Gluten and Schizophrenia article on this website. It would seem logical then that schizophrenics should could out wheat and other gluten-contaminated foods to reverse the disease.

Lactose intolerance symptoms are common – many adults who could drink milk as a child find they cannot tolerate lactose as they grow older.
Lactose intolerance is not an allergy, it is caused by an inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Many adults produce less lactase as they age; lactase is the enzyme required to break lactose into simpler sugars: glucose and galactose.

The Phoenix Vietnamese restaurant has a typical Vietnamese/Chinese menu with a number of gluten-free options on it.
Because they have wheat-based foods as well, the chances of cross-contamination are there. Depending on your comfort level, it is a fairly safe choice, probably as good as the average Vietnamese restaurant (pretty good but not perfect), above-average compared to a restaurant with “typical” Canadian food, and not as good a specialized restaurant where they really cater to individual customers such as the Queen Mother.
