Interest in Gluten-Free Living on the Rise

As GIG reports, research by Statista has shown that 10% of Americans follow a gluten-free diet. Among Generation Z and Millennials, that number rises to 13% and 14% respectively. With a rising interest in living gluten-free, this event aims to pave the way for better health and happiness for those who live a gluten-free lifestyle. 

GIG is a leading nonprofit advocacy organization and has been empowering the gluten-free community for nearly five decades. GIG offers resources for support, advocacy, and education and for those who have gluten intolerances. Throughout its work efforts, GIG has targeted Diet & Nutrition, Health & Medical, and Lifestyle/Social as the three areas most important to consumers. Each of these categories will be addressed at the event, including topics like nutrition, dining out, social support, relationships, traveling, cross-contact, and getting appropriate medical support.
