London: Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and tennis player Novak Djokovic are all fond of a wheat-free diet. A lot of commoners seem to be following suit.

Sales of free-from foods are up 33 percent at online shopping grocery store Asda as gluten, wheat and dairy free diets hit the mainstream, doubling the sales growth of 2013, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
