What do you need to live a successful, happy, and effective gluten free life? 215 people answered that key question on our survey. I discussed some of your answers on Thursday and others on Friday, and will complete that process today. If you have not read the first two articles, I suggest that you do so now and then use the arrow in the upper left corner of the page to return here.

Today we talk about the fifth and eighth ranked items on the survey “controlling weight while living gluten free” and “information to help make decisions about foods, restaurants, etc.” The concerns we have discussed so far can be addressed using  factual and scientific information. But there are some gray areas where we must make decisions for ourselves. It helps to know what other members of our gluten free community do in similar circumstances. Our site’s power to conduct surveys will be helpful here. You may expect many surveys during the next few months. No survey will take more than five minutes to complete.

This survey deals with the problem of reading ingredient labels. It describes four dilemmas that might arise when we are dealing with these labels.
