Newsday reports that manufacturers, sensing an opportunity to sell products to people diagnosed with celiac disease and unable to eat wheat, “are rolling out gluten-free equivalents of everything from pizza crusts to doughnuts, buns and cakes.

Gluten intolerance affects roughly one of every 133 Americans, according to the report – and it can’t be cured, which means that the gluten-free customer base isn’t just sizable – it also is permanent.
