Fans with celiac disease will now have alternative food options which are free of gluten at Colorado’s Coors Field.  The Rockies have announced — what they believe to be a Major League first — gluten-free food offerings.

The Colorado Rockies and ARAMARK, the exclusive food and beverage provider at Coors Field, announce the opening of a dedicated gluten-free concession stand. The menu features hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, chips, cookies, brownies, soda, water and gluten-free Redbridge beer…the gluten-free stand is located behind Section 147 on the left field concourse.

Gluten is a protein commonly found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley.  Those with celiac disease, which is primarily a bowel disorder, must maintain a strict gluten-free diet in order to avoid inflammation triggered by the protein.
