While gluten-free diet is the only treatment for Celiac Disease, a commentary scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics discusses several of the most common inaccuracies regarding the gluten-free diet. I went to a gluten-free group on Facebook and asked opinion from group members who follow a gluten-free lifestyle if gluten-free diet is healthier diet for you and good for everyone without any disadvantages. Here is what they told me.

The gluten-free diet cuts out many foods from the diet, especially highly processed foods. While not always easy, a gluten-free lifestyle gives those with celiac disease relief from the symptoms. For those new to this way of eating, the transition takes some time. If only one person in the family is going on a gluten-free diet, the transition can be even more difficult. Once you figure out what you can and cannot eat, the gluten-free diet becomes easier to follow.. ...

For many people, a gluten-free diet erases Hashimotos hypothyroidism symptoms like a magic wand. For others, it doesnt make a dent, despite a proven gluten intolerance. What gives? A diet that also eliminates dairy, grains, and other foods may be necessary, along with nutritional compounds to restore gut health.. Gluten damages the small intestines and causes chronic inflammation. This inflammation extends to other parts of the body and helps explain why gluten triggers so many disorders, including Hashimotos hypothyroidism, joint pain, skin disorders (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, etc.), fatigue, depression, or mood disorders from inflammation in the brain. It even increases the risk of death for people with celiac disease.. A gluten-free diet reduces inflammation and allows the gut to recover, which often alleviates symptoms elsewhere in the body.. However, newer research showed that the small intestines of up to 60 percent of adults in one study never completely healed on a gluten-free diet, ...

People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) do not have celiac disease, but their symptoms improve when they are placed on gluten-free diets.

As you walk down the aisles in a grocery store (and Richmond has plenty of those!), gluten-free signs and labels are everywhere. Many restaurants are offering gluten-free dishes. Your friends tell you they feel great on a gluten-free diet. But will you? Should you be eating gluten-free, too? How about your family?. A gluten-free diet is a diet that does not contain any gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats. People who have been diagnosed with celiac disease should be on a gluten-free diet. When someone with celiac disease eats even a small amount of gluten, the immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine. The small intestine is responsible for absorption of food and nutrients, so damaging its lining leads to decreased absorption of nutrients.. Classic symptoms of celiac disease are diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, osteoporosis, and vitamin B and D deficiencies. With milder celiac disease, people can have abdominal pain, bloating, iron deficiency, or ...

Heres a topic that was suggested to me by my cousin, a speech therapist in Sacramento. She says, Id like to hear your thoughts on the gluten-free diet. The latest trend it seems-here in CA. And I keep hearing that some parents whose kids have autism are putting them on a gluten-free diet. A good question! It seems that a lot of people have decided that eating a gluten-free diet is going to be the cure to all their problems. Or maybe just some of their problems! So you might wonder, should I follow a gluten-free diet too? Here are the basics on eating gluten-free and if its for you ...

The gluten-free diet is the only therapy available for the management of celiac disease. To avoid the onset of symptoms, it is essential to eliminate gluten from your diet, by consuming both the great variety of naturally gluten-free products and the substitutes sold on the market. How is it possible to manage body weight with a gluten-free diet? By paying attention to food and practicing physical activity, as explained by Dr. Paoletta Preatoni, gastroenterologist and digestive endoscopist at Humanitas.. By having this wide range of products available, celiac individuals have the opportunity to follow a varied and balanced diet. Just think of the many foods that dont contain gluten in their nutritional profile: rice, corn, buckwheat, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, potatoes and legumes. Therefore, the recommendations for healthy eating in order to avoid weight gain are the same as for the general population.. After the diagnosis of celiac disease, a patient may tend to gain a few pounds in the ...

The only treatment for coeliac disease is a life-long gluten-free diet. This can be difficult as gluten-free food is not always easily available, and it tends to be expensive. It is known that there is variation in the availability and cost of gluten-free food across different regions. This study aims to understand how the availability and cost of gluten-free food impacts on people with coeliac disease. This study consists of two phases: first, a large scale survey will be conducted to provide an overview of how people are impacted by differences in availability and cost of gluten-free food; and second, interviews will be carried out with some survey participants to gain a deeper understanding of this impact. The study will be conducted in different regions which will make it possible to draw comparisons between people living in different parts of England. The results of the study will provide increased insight into the burden of following a gluten-free diet and any regional differences. This ...

Suboptimal therapeutic control of both CD and type 1 diabetes is known to lead to impairment in growth and substantial morbidity. Effective treatment of each is only achieved with lifelong restrictive diets. Those patients who have both CD and type 1 diabetes are faced with a doubly difficult regimen. Non-adherence to the gluten-free diet among patients with CD and type 1 diabetes is reported to be common, with one study finding only 30% who complied with a strict gluten-free diet.1,4-18 At least one study13 also found no evidence that dietary adherence improved growth in diabetics with CD.. Routine serological surveys of patients with type 1 diabetes have identified patients with abnormal serology and duodenal histology,12 but often with minimal gastrointestinal symptoms. One small study10 found improvement in BMI and HbA1C, but others have found little apparent benefit to the patient in diagnosing asymptomatic coeliac disease.11 If this is accepted, it is difficult for such patients to accept ...

Hello, my name is Kelly, and I am new to the group. Throughout my life I have experienced a lot of GI issues, that have coincided with increased consumption of Gluten (I really did not make that connection until this January). Id feel reasonable great in the summer (times when I rarely if ever ate things that contained Gluten), and then would become progressively misserable throughout the winter as I ate more breads. cereals, and cookies. Anyway, I spoke with my doctor about this, and she ran the celiac serology panel (that included IgG and IgA Gliadin Antibodies, and total serum levels). This test came back negative, with normal serum levels. Then, I started a gluten-free Diet. It has been three weeks, and I feel better than I have in my entire life. My joints dont hurt any more, my bowels are not going crazy any more, and I have more energy. I dont mind being gluten-free at all, especially since it makes me feel so good! Due to my response to the gluten-free Diet, my doc sent me to a GI ...

However, restaurants likely arent trying to fool us. Rather, the researchers believe the bulk of this unsuspected gluten is the result of cross-contamination in restaurant kitchens. So, while a food may be delivered to the kitchen being truly gluten-free, once it is handled, stored, cooked and served alongside gluten-containing foods, it may pick up small amounts of the protein-enough to potentially trigger a reaction in patrons with celiac or gluten sensitivities.. For instance, a gluten-free pizza baked in the same oven as a gluten-containing pizza would be vulnerable, as would gluten-free noodles boiled in the same pot as regular pasta. The fact that gluten was detected in more dinner items than breakfast selections suggests that these types of contamination risks accumulate throughout the day as more and more food is handled.. An important thing to keep in mind about these new findings is that the majority of gluten-free dishes tested were in fact gluten-free. So in most cases, those who ...

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the gluten-free diet has become the most popular fad diet in the United States and other countries.[40] Clinicians worldwide have been challenged by an increasing number of people who do not have coeliac disease nor wheat allergy, with digestive or extra-digestive symptoms which improved removing wheat/gluten from the diet. Many of these persons began a gluten-free diet on their own, without having been previously evaluated.[60][61] Another reason that contributed to this trend was the publication of several books that demonize gluten and point to it as a cause of type 2 diabetes, weight gain and obesity, and a broad list of diseases ranging from depression and anxiety to arthritis and autism.[62][63] The book that has had the most impact is Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brains Silent Killers, by the American neurologist David Perlmutter, published in September 2013.[62] Another book that has had great impact is ...

After speaking with Welstead, I asked Dr. Guandalini whether taking a supplement is necessary and, if so, which brand he would recommend. Once in full remission on a strict gluten-free diet, celiac patients can be considered just as healthy as individuals who do not have celiac, with no additional needs for vitamins or other types of supplements, he said. If the patient chooses to supplement, a general multivitamin preparation would be more than adequate.. Many people need to supplement because they consume a great deal of packaged gluten-free food, which is highly processed and stripped of most minerals and vitamins. If you do choose to take a multivitamin, a one-a-day like Rainbow Light is fine and no different from vitamins marketed toward celiac patients, such as CeliAct and Alorex.. Overall, following a strict gluten-free diet and eating nutrient-dense foods like those mentioned above are the most important steps you can take. After the gut has healed, patients who follow a healthful ...

Gosh, glad to see this. I was advised to try a gluten-free diet for my arthritis. I tried it for SIX MONTHS, just to be sure. It was a HORRIBLE diet! But - I did it. Guess what? No doubt - my arthritis was WORSE! I had to up my pain meds for that period. I tried it - I really did. This is, I believe, a fad for most. When I resumed my normal diet - fish, lots of plants, whole grains, and legumes - I felt SO much better! I was back to running and swimming and my hands and feet didnt ache and keep me awake at night.. Whats funny is that I was seeing a new doctor - a VERY respected Houston gastroenterologist. It was my sisters idea - she also is a physician. She kept telling me that gluten was making my arthritis flare up. She also believed gluten in her diet worsened her asthma.. Well, after a year on a gluten-free diet, she ended up in hospital with the WORST asthma attack of her life. She nearly died and was kept in hospital for three weeks - pretty much unprecedented. But she continues to be ...

Patients with persistent symptoms and/or villous atrophy despite strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) have non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD). A subset of these patients has refractory celiac disease (RCD), yet some NRCD patients may simply be reacting to gluten cross-contamination. Here we describe the effects of a 3-6 month diet of whole, unprocessed foods, termed the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet (GCED), on NRCD. We aim to demonstrate that this diet reclassifies the majority of patients thought to have RCD type 1 (RCD1). We reviewed the records of all GFD-adherent NRCD patients cared for in our celiac center from 2005-2011 who were documented to have started the GCED. Response to the GCED was defined as being asymptomatic after the diet, with normal villous architecture on repeat biopsy, if performed. Prior to the GCED, all patients were interviewed by an experienced dietitian and no sources of hidden gluten ingestion were identified. 17 patients completed the GCED; 15 were female

The basic ingredients in beer, ale and lager include malted barley, hops (a type of flower), yeast and water. As this mixture is only fermented and not distilled, it contains varying levels of gluten and must be avoided. However, a variety of gluten-free specialty beers are now on the market made from various gluten-free grains such as buckwheat, sorghum, millet and rice.. Note: Always remember that although certain alcoholic beverages can be included in a gluten-free diet, it must be consumed responsibly and in moderation!

A gluten-free diet is not one to be taken lightly. Of course, you can always cut back a little bit on your intake to see if that helps you, but doing more than that-such as significantly reducing or eliminating gluten-can cause other health problems.. In one recent study, for instance, researchers found that those who eat a gluten-free diet may be at risk for increased exposure to arsenic and mercury-toxic metals that can lead to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurological effects. This is thought to be because many gluten-free products are often made with rice flour as a substitute for wheat.. A gluten-free diet can also put you at risk for certain nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B-12, folate, and zinc. Gluten-free ready-made products are often low in fiber, which can cause additional digestive problems. A gluten-free diet can be expensive, as gluten-free foods typically cost significantly more than gluten-containing options.. Strangely enough, a gluten-free diet-though touted by ...

Strictly anecdotal, but I have a friend who stuck to a gluten-free diet for some 10 years because a decade ago the naturopath she was seeing (her only doctor at the time - for many years she didnt believe in allopathy or Western medicine) told her that she had celiac disease. Anyway, after a decade of eating gluten-free, one of us in our group of friends (whod finally voiced her irritation at having to find a restaurant with a suitably varied gluten-free menu when we all went out to eat for Ladies Night Out) noted that her tummy troubles hadnt seemed to improve any over the years - she was still complaining about the same digestive difficulties and pain and such, and the various anti-GERD pills that didnt seem to help, etc. She eventually ended up in the ER because of the pain and was diagnosed with an inflamed gall bladder (plus stones). When she mentioned her celiac disease when giving her history, the doctor asked her something about the biopsy and she replied What biopsy? Turns out ...

Tracy Kamperdyk Assue is the executive pastry chef for City Limits in White Plains, New York, and Stamford, Connecticut-restaurants with a reputation for having among the best bakeries in the region. So it was with a bit of a start that she realized her sensitivity to gluten might have to alter her approach to baking. The restaurants were already offering a few gluten-free desserts, and Assue introduced three new items this fall. For gluten-free baking, she says she relies on the fundamental, good baking techniques she learned at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and by working with famed Pastry Chef Eric Gouteyron at the River Café in Brooklyn. As the holidays approached, Assue talked with Gluten-Free Living about ways other new gluten-free bakers can create traditional cut-out cookies, gingerbread and more. And she shared recipes for three desserts she created for City Limits. What is your gluten-free story ...

These are cupcakes so good even those who dont eat gluten-free will love them.. ...

The gluten-free diet is, to date, the only efficacious treatment for patients with Celiac Disease. In recent years, the impressive rise of Celiac Disease incidence, dramatically prompted changes in the dietary habit of an increasingly large population, with a rise in demand of gluten-free products. The formulation of gluten-free bakery products presents a formidable challenge to cereal technologists. As wheat gluten contributes to the formation of a strong protein network, that confers visco-elasticity to the dough and allows the wheat flour to be processed into a wide range of products, the preparation of cereal-based gluten-free products is a somehow difficult process. This review focuses on nutritional and technological quality of products made with gluten-free cereals available on the market. The possibility of using flour from naturally low toxic ancient wheat species or detoxified wheat for the diet of celiacs is also discussed.

A strict gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only currently available therapeutic treatment for patients with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine associated with a permanent intolerance to gluten proteins. The complete elimination of gluten proteins contained in cereals from the diet is the key to celiac disease management. However, this generates numerous social and economic repercussions due to the ubiquity of gluten in foods. The research presented in this review focuses on the current status of alternative cereals and pseudocereals and their derivatives obtained by natural selection, breeding programs and transgenic or enzymatic technology, potential tolerated by celiac people. Finally, we describe several strategies for detoxification of dietary gluten. These included enzymatic cleavage of gliadin fragment by Prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) from different organisms, degradation of toxic peptides by germinating cereal enzymes and transamidation of cereal flours. This information can

According to The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, one in 133 Americans has celiac disease, or gluten intolerance. Currently, the only remedy for celiac disease is to adhere to a 100 percent gluten-free diet. Aside from eliminating gluten from their diets, many people with celiac disease also keep a gluten-free home. Aware of the importance of informing consumers about the gluten content in their products, the team at Dr.Hauschka had their range of skin-care products evaluated. The German Celiac Society, an organization that advocates for those with gluten sensitivities determined that 124 of 130 of Dr.Hauschkas products are gluten-free. One of our favorites is the Regenerating Neck and Décolleté Cream, which supports the skins natural function of cellular renewal, moisturizing and firming while also minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And its gluten-free, of course. ...

Thus, oat milk is likewise susceptible to contamination.. A Canadian study in 133 oat samples discovered that 88% were contaminated with more than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten - the general cutoff for a food to be considered gluten-free (2).. That said, one of the varieties was certified gluten-free and tested negative for gluten (2).. When researchers in the United States assessed 78 foods labeled gluten-free, 20.5% had gluten levels over 20 ppm (3).. Keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesnt analyze foods for gluten content. Instead, its up to manufacturers to test the products themselves (3, 4).. Some manufacturers use third-party testing labs to ensure that their products are under the threshold for gluten. These have a certification - usually shown as a small stamp on the packaging - that ensures the product is indeed gluten-free (4).. If you cant consume gluten, you should only buy oat milk thats certified gluten-free.. ...

There are more people who have celiac disease than you might think. Recent studies show that as many as one in 144 Americans has this condition. Just search the Internet or cruise the cookbook selections at a bookstore. There are many organizations and support groups for people who are gluten intolerant.. People with celiac disease keep their condition under control by following a strict gluten-free diet. When celiac patients avoid gluten completely, they give their small intestine a chance to heal and more properly absorb nutrients. A gluten-free regime must be followed at all times.. Avoiding gluten is not as easy as it sounds. Many companies process wheat in the same factories as they do gluten-free products. Labels need to be read carefully. Even certain brands of rice may say, Processed in a plant with wheat-containing products.. If people with celiac disease are preparing foods from scratch using unprocessed ingredients, then they will be able to prepare items that are gluten- or ...

They also need to be able to provide complete nutrition and energy for the weeks it will be conducted. Professional nutritional advice from a dietitian or nutritionist is strongly recommended.

Oral 8 Gluten Contamination of Restaurant Food: Analysis of Crowd-Sourced Data. Author Insight from Benjamin A. Lerner, MD, Columbia University Medical Center. Whats new here and important for clinicians? Approximately one-third of gluten-free restaurant foods contain detectable amounts of gluten, according to a new study conducted by my colleagues and me at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University using crowd-sourced data provided by users of Nima, a portable gluten sensor. People avoid gluten for various reasons, but for patients with celiac disease, an autoimmune disease in which ingestion of gluten causes injury to the small intestines and various symptoms, gluten exposure has well-defined serious health ramifications. Restaurants are now offering more gluten-free options than ever before, but while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates packaged foods claiming to be gluten-free, no similar oversight exists for restaurants. Given the possibility of cross-contamination, ...

In 11 years as the Gluten Free RN, Nadine has done an incredible amount of research on celiac disease and delivered more than 2,000 lectures. No question she is frustrated to see misinformation continue to make its way onto celiac support sites and Facebook groups. How does the average person sift through all the material thats out there-material that may be influenced by corporations and pharmaceutical companies with a vested interest in the way celiac disease is perceived-to get to the most accurate information?. Just in time for the holidays, the Gluten Free RN is sharing her wish list around the direction of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity in the next ten years. She discusses the need for a global mass screening, explaining how celiac disease meets the World Health Organizations criteria. She covers the reasons why pharmaceutical companies have no place in celiac research as well as the bad publicity the gluten-free community receives in the media. Nadine speaks to the ...

Little is known about the best ways to promote a strict gluten-free diet while maximizing quality of life in teenagers and adults with celiac disease. The aim of the proposed pilot is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a novel intervention - a portable gluten sensor device. The sample for this pilot will be 30 teenagers and adults with biopsy confirmed celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Center at Columbia University in New York City. Thirty participants will pilot test a portable gluten sensor device with its associated iPhone app for 3 months. At baseline and three-month follow-up, participants will complete measures of gluten free diet adherence, quality of life,symptoms, anxiety, and depression. At post-only, the investigators will collect in-depth data related to the feasibility and acceptability of the gluten sensor, as well as facilitators and barriers related to how, where, and when it was used. At the completion of the proposed pilot study, the investigators hope to ...

Celiac disease (gluten sensitive enteropathy) is a chronic, lifelong inflammatory disease of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals, and is characterized by a permanent specific hypersensitivity to wheat, rye, barley and oat gluten. Gluten intake in these individuals leads to damage of the small intestine mucosa, which is manifested by abdominal problems, resulting in reduced absorption of nutrients, leading to secondary disorders and diseases such as rachitis, osteoporosis, arthritis, delay in growth and development, anemia, sterility, neurological disorders, skin changes, intestinal lymphomas. The prevalence of celiac disease is about 1% in the general population. The diagnostic procedure includes histological and serological tests, and a strict gluten-free diet is a lifelong treatment of celiac disease and is a main requirement for any further treatment of the consequences of nutritional deficits. The main problems in implementing a gluten-free diet is the ...

Celiac disease is a multisystem immune based disorder that is triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The prevalence of celiac disease has risen in recent decades and is currently about 1% in most Western populations. The reason for this rise is unknown, although environmental factors related to the hygiene hypothesis are suspected. The pathophysiology of celiac disease involves both the innate and adaptive immune response to dietary gluten. Clinical features are diverse and include gastrointestinal symptoms, metabolic bone disease, infertility, and many other manifestations. Although a gluten-free diet is effective in most patients, this diet can be burdensome and can limit quality of life; consequently, non-dietary therapies are at various stages of development. This review also covers non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The pathophysiology of this clinical phenotype is poorly understood, but it is a cause of increasing interest in gluten-free diets in the ...

Treatment. Can a person be cured of celiac disease? The answer is no. However, if a gluten-free diet is followed closely then the symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue will disappear. In addition, the small intestine will begin to heal and further damage will be prevented.. Gluten Free Diet. A strict gluten free diet is recommended for Celiac patients and is the only widely accepted therapy to date. Studies have proven that the intake of as little as 50 mg of gluten per day for 3 months can cause a significant decrease in the intestinal mucosal villous height.. Most patients with celiac disease respond to gluten-free diet within weeks to months of initiation. Patients are expected to feel improved energy and overall well being. As the gut heals and nutrients are able to be absorbed properly, symptoms of anemia and nutritional deficiencies start improving within weeks.. The normalization of hemoglobin and complete recovery from diarrhea might take months. Unfortunately, up ...

Individuals with celiac disease have long worried about ingredients that are sometimes (rarely in the US) made from wheat starch, including wheat-based caramel color, wheat-based glucose syrup, wheat-based maltodextrin, and wheat-based dextrin. Under proposed FDA regulations for labeling food gluten free, wheat starch and ingredients made from wheat starch can be included in labeled gluten-free foods as long as the final food product contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten.. But what about foods not labeled gluten free that contain these ingredients? For example, if wheat-based maltodextrin is the only suspect ingredient in a food product not labeled gluten free is it okay to eat? While many (and I know not all!) dietitians and people following gluten-free diets have moved the ingredients caramel, glucose syrup, and maltodextrin into the safe column regardless of what they are made from, wheat-based dextrin (in foods not labeled gluten free) remains in the unsafe category. The ...

The current gold standard tests for celiac disease include testing for celiac antibodies in patients blood and performing an endoscopy to obtain small bowel biopsies. In order for these tests to be accurate, one has to be eating gluten up until the time of testing. If a patient is already on the gluten-free diet when these tests are done, the diagnosis of celiac disease can easily be missed.. Since starting this page Ive encountered many people who have decided that theyd like to be tested for celiac disease after starting on the gluten-free diet. Per the celiac disease experts, a gluten challenge must be performed in these cases to assist in the diagnosis of celiac disease. A gluten challenge requires eating foods containing gluten for a prescribed period of time prior to an endoscopy and/or blood testing for celiac disease. The length of time and amount of gluten that need to be consumed for a gluten challenge vary from source to source. Here are some examples of different ...

What Happens When A Celiac Goes Off A Gluten Free Diet? For those with Celiac disease lifelong strict gluten free diet is currently the only available treatment. There are medications being investigated to treat Celiac disease but they are not yet available. Compliance with a gluten free diet can be difficult for some especially those who had minimal symptoms (though they may have complications of malabsorption such as iron and/or vitamin D deficiency), those who are in denial about the seriousness of the condition, adolescents, children residing in homes where one parent or other family member doesnt accept the diagnosis and in those who are trying to be compliant but inadvertently are getting exposed to hidden sources of gluten or cross contaminated. Common sources of hidden gluten can include medications, supplements and personal hygiene products like toothpaste and make-up. Intentional and unintentional gluten exposure to gluten can result in return of intestinal injury or failed healing. ...

At a time when wheat and other gluten-containing foods are unfairly demonized I believe it is important to take a step to the side and learn from someone who is living gluten-free not out of choice, but rather as an absolute medical necessity. I am so thrilled to introduce to you fellow Torontonian Ashley, an impressive foodie and overall cool cat who happens to be living with celiac disease. I spoke with Ashley about what its like being diagnosed and living with celiac disease and her thoughts on the current state of public opinion on gluten and gluten-free diets.

QUOTE from Food Standards Australia New Zealand: To be labeled gluten-free in Australia and New Zealand, a food must contain No Detectable Gluten by the most sensitive universally accepted test method.. Just because the meal is a grain, doesnt necessarily mean it contains gluten. More gluten free foods you can eat are foods such as brown rice, millet, quinoa, and buckwheat.

Gosh, it has been more than two weeks since my last post! We started our holidays with an enjoyable road trip, but after that there has been a flu-like sickness in everyone in my family. That has kept me so busy, Ive barely been checking other posts…sorry if I have missed yours!. But Im back again at Fiesta Friday #49 where Angie is joined by co-hosts Mr. Fitz and Kaila, bringing some cupcakes to celebrate the new year! These are gluten-free and eggless, but youll hardly be able to tell because the texture is so wheat-like, with no chalk-like taste that most gluten-free flour blends tend to have. No, I have not used xanthan gum. The secret is the use of psyllium husks, that are tasteless but offer excellent binding and healthy fiber.. I recently came across these vegan, grain-free cupcakes using psyllium husks and modified it with the use of sorghum flour and yogurt. The result are these soft and moist cupcakes- just the perfect bite-size snack to start the year on a healthy note!. ...

Gluten is the protein part of wheat, rye, barley, and other related grains. Some people cannot tolerate gluten when it comes in contact with the small intestine. This condition is known as celiac disease (sometimes called non-tropical sprue or gluten enteropathy).. Celiac disease is now clearly known to be genetically determined. In other words, if you or your close relatives have a certain gene, then it is more likely that you will get celiac disease some time in your life. Of great concern and interest is the fact that nine out of ten people with celiac disease do not known they have it. A simple blood test can give the physician the first clue to this disease.. In patients with celiac disease, gluten injures the lining of the small intestine. This injury can result in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, and/or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When patients totally eliminate gluten from the diet, the lining of the intestine has a chance to heal.. ...
