What is a Grain-Free Diet?

Grain-Free is the elimination of all grains including wheat,  rice, corn, barley and oats.  A grain-free diet has been proven through the personal experience of hundreds of people worldwide who have experienced significant relief from symptoms of Crohn’s disease (and many other illnesses of the digestive system) and also for chronic fatigue.
