Around 3.1 million Americans are currently following a gluten-free diet, accounting for about one percent of the population. Whether diners are restricted because of an allergy or a medical condition such as Celiac disease, or they simply have a drive to eat healthier, people all over the country are ditching the protein found in wheat and looking for food options that don’t contain gluten.
Luckily, some Baton Rouge restaurants have followed suit, providing gluten-free alternatives for their most popular dishes.
