Australia’s first fully dedicated gluten-free lifestyle publication, Australian Gluten-Free Life, has just hit the shelves, underscoring the momentum behind the dietary trend.

According to its publisher, Cazbah Media, the new magazine is dedicated to those who are interested in, or required to maintain, gluten-free lifestyles.

“‘Australian Gluten-Free Life isn’t about what one can’t eat, but instead celebrating and enjoying life without gluten,'” its publisher, Cara Boatswain, says.

She created the magazine after her partners’ diagnosis of a stomach tumour that lead to them suddenly forced to live a gluten free lifestyle.

Over recent years, she says, gluten-free diets have been viewed as a fad, yet an estimated one in 60 females and one in 80 males is living with coeliac disease, around 80 per cent of whom are believed to be undiagnosed.

“With this magazine we aim to speak directly to people who are either interested in a gluten-free lifestyle, or are required to live one. Our mission is to provide them with the right information and valuable tips to help them maintain their lifestyle and their health,” Boatswain says.

According to Cazbah, each issue will contain over 50 gluten-free recipes as well as informative and entertaining articles written from personal experiences by those living a gluten-free lifestyle.

The launch issue's feature articles include "Waiter, There’s a Potential Allergen in My Soup", which discusses tips on how to handle dinners out on a gluten-free diet, "Toxic Beauty" which addresses the importance of recognising hidden gluten in beauty products and "Getting to know Amaranth" which explores this forgotten nutritional powerhouse.

Australian Gluten-Free Life is a quarterly publication; it hit the news-stands last week and is available through over 4000 newsagents nationally as well as selected airport NewsLink outlets and online.
