This year, 34 percent of all adults plan to celebrate Mother's Day by dining out at a restaurant (I hope it is one of our customers). Of that number-nearly half are going out to dinner, making it the days most popular meal. The rest will do lunch-brunch-or breakfast.

In the United States, approximately 3 million people have celiac disease, but only 5 percent of them are aware of it. Many others are gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant. Although they aren't celiac, they do suffer digestive symptoms after ingesting gluten. Treatment for celiac disease and gluten intolerance is to avoid foods that contain gluten.
