GlutenFreeTravelSite Adds "Gluten Free Restaurant Menus" Section to Popular Website

Site Now Provides One Central Location Where People On Gluten Free Diets Can Go
to Quickly and Easily Access the Gluten-Free Menus of National and Regional
Chain Restaurants

SOUTH RIDING, Va.--(Business Wire)--
GlutenFreeTravelSite (http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com) has added a major new
section called "Gluten Free Restaurant Menus" to its website
(http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com/restaurants). Designed to help people on
gluten-free diets find national and regional restaurants that offer gluten-free
items on their menu, this new part of the website also benefits restaurants who
have taken the time to accommodate the fast-growing Celiac community.

People with Celiac and others following gluten-free diets have limited options
when it comes to dining out and traveling, and they are always on a quest to
discover new places to safely dine. Fortunately, there have been many more
restaurants that have, over the past few years, recognized the needs of this
group and have done a great job developing an extensive range of gluten-free
items on their menus.

"This is a huge growth market for restaurants, since more and more people are
diagnosed with Celiac Disease each day. Smart restaurant owners are learning
it`s a great service - and smart business -- to cater to the growing group of
diners following gluten-free diets," said Karen Broussard, Founder and President
of GlutenFreeTravelSite. "In the competitive restaurant marketplace, which has
been especially hard-hit by the down economy, offering a gluten-free menu gives
restaurants a strong competitive advantage - and a way to build loyalty among a
very receptive clientele."

The "Gluten Free Restaurant Menus" section
(http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com/restaurants) showcases a listing of
restaurants, complete with each restaurant`s gluten-free menu, locations, and
other pertinent information. "With the help of GlutenFreeTravelSite.com,
gluten-free diners never have to feel limited or deprived when it comes to
eating out - whether in their own town or when traveling," Broussard stated.

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that compromises the body`s ability to
digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Those foods can flatten
the villi in the intestines and prevent the proper absorption of food and
nutrients, leading to serious health consequences. According to a 2003 study led
by the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research in Baltimore, Celiac
Disease may affect as many as 1 in 133 people in the United States. Unlike an
allergy, a person does not outgrow Celiac Disease and must follow a strict
gluten-free diet for life in order to maintain their health.

Alessio Fasano, M.D., the study`s principal investigator and professor of
pediatrics, medicine and physiology at the University of Maryland School of
Medicine says, "While the gluten free diet is the cornerstone for an effective
and successful treatment of Celiac Disease, its implementation can be
challenging, particularly in situations like traveling or dining out, in which
patients need to rely on third parties for accurate compliance."
