Gluten-free options more prevalent on campus
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Gluten-free dieting is more than just the latest weight loss fad to Emma McNay, a sophomore from Pratt. Rather, it's a way to maintain her health.
After studying abroad in Italy last summer, McNay's diet of gluten-laden pasta, bread and pizza triggered an allergy to wheat products. Since then, McNay has eaten gluten free in order to avoid wheat foods. Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat flour, according to Baker's Digest.
Janna Traver, executive chef for the University, estimated 25 out of the 3,000 student residents request to eat gluten free — a number that has grown throughout the years. In the past two years, Traver said
"I am healthier gluten free because I'm more conscientious of what I'm eating," McNay said. "I just feel better."
her staff has made an effort to make more gluten-free food available at every on-campus dining venue. Mrs.E's renovations will include a Kyou Zone, which will be designated for specialized diet needs. Travers said.
"As we're learning more, we're able to provide more options," Travers said.
Celiac disease, the inability to digest gluten products, is the most common medical reason to go gluten free, said Jill Hamilton- Reeves, professor of
with celiac disease during her junior year of high school. She runs long distance for the track and field team and cooks most of her own food to maintain proper nutrition and to control her diet. While Shaffer said the taste of gluten-free

foods is comparable to normal foods, there are still some exceptions.
"The gluten free desserts just don't taste the same," Schaffer said. "You have to plan out your meals unlike a normal diet, where you can get food at the drop of a hat."
Even in just the past few years since going gluten free, Schaffer
has noticed the availability and quality of gluten-free foods has increased. With Wal-Mart and Hy-vee carrying gluten-free products, this greater availability would seem to positively correlate with a general trend in gluten intolerance.
"The prevalence of celiac disease is increasing, but we don't know why," Hamilton-Reeves said. "It's common in stressed individuals, especially college students."
More common in caucasians, Hamilton-Reeves said a genetic predisposition coupled with a stressful life event is how the disease is triggered. As for those who do not have a medical reason to go gluten free, Hamilton-Reeves said such a diet is unnecessary as it's often lower in fiber.
"Most people who go gluten free increase their fat intake," Hamilton-Reeves said. "People who follow a gluten-free diet often gain weight, but you don't have to."
Going gluten free can result in consuming other unhealthy foods instead to compensate for the lack of tastiness in many gluten-free foods, Hamilton-Reeves said.
But Adam Smith, a sophomore from Leawood, has lost nearly 15 pounds since switching to a gluten-free diet last May, and he said he feels more energetic.
"I think it's healthier," Smith said.
"I will bring to bet a good portion of the individuals who eat gluten free do not suffer from celiac disease," said Stutzl. "A fad is going gluten free to lose weight."
Many students who, like Smith, do not have celiac disease, take advantage of the gluten-free options offered on campus, said Alecia Stultz, Assistant Director of Residential Dining at the University.

New abortion clinic now serving in slain doctor's former building
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A new women's clinic has begun taking appointments and is expected to open within days in the building of abortion provider George Tiller nearly four years after he was killed.
The South Wind Women's Center will offer comprehensive women's health care services, including abortions up to 14 weeks.
The new clinic is owned by Trust Women Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by Julie Burkhart, who worked with Tiller for seven years. The foundation bought the property from Tiller's wife in August. Burkhart said it has cost about $700,000 to purchase the clinic and get it up and running.
Burkham said the clinic will open when last-minute details are worked out sometime this week. Three doctors will work on a rotating basis at the clinic.
Tiller was gunned down in 2009 at his church in Wichita by anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder, who is serving a life sentence for the physician's murder.
The Kansas City Star reports abortion opponents have vowed to force the clinic to close.
Abortion opponents have sporadically protested at the clinic and at Burkhart's home even before its opening. Burkhar will be in Sedgwick County District Court on April 11 seeking a permanent protection from stalking order against Wichita pastor
Burkhart says the clinic will heighten security for patients' safety.
Mark Holick.
Holick did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
A move by Kansans for Life failed to get the city to rezone the building so as to block its opening.
Tiller was one of the few remaining late-term abortion providers in the nation when he was gunned down in church and his clinic shuttered. When Tiller operated the clinic, it was the site of regular protests by abortion opponents, including large "Summer of Mercy" demonstrations in 1991 and 2001 that led to mass arrests.
Burkhart, the Trust Women founder, was a clinic employee and from 2002 to 2009 ran ProKanDo, a PAC formed by Tiller.
CORRECTION
The article titled "Kansas Legislature passes anti-abortion bill" in yesterday's issue of the Kansas explained an anti-abortion bill that is currently in the Kansas Legislature. The Senate advanced House Bill 2253 by a vote on Monday, but did not make a final action until Tuesday.
The Senate passed the sweeping legislation with a 29-11 vote yesterday. The bill states that life begins at fertilization. It would prohibit abortion providers from distributing materials for sex education classes in public schools, and would require doctors to provide certain information to patients undergoing abortions. This includes information about abortions and the risk of breast cancer. Members of the house will review the bill before it moves on to Gov. Sam Brownback.
