Watch out for the Gluten free sign

Remember Wheat free is not necessary Gluten free.

Some oats products may still contain gluten due to cross contamination for instance Jungle oats!
Cornflour made in the same fabric as wheat flours will be cross contaminated.  (eg Sasko)

avoid. Check the ingredients for barley and malt flavoring.

Some Gluten free foods

Fresh fruits and vegetables.

Meats and fish that have not been breaded, marinated, or processed in any way.

Rice, corn (unless you have a corn sensitivity), quinoa, and potatoes*.

Eggs, nuts*, beans*, and legumes*.

Fruit juices (preferably fresh),

buy a spice grinder and mix blends yourself. (Many bought spices has gluten in)

Vinegar except malt vinegar

* nightshades like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant etc might cause distress ..... be carefull

I also get very bad reactions from dates, bananas, lentils, potatoes, peas,
Due to the high lectin content.  Take care and test first if you can tolerate it.

Gluten may not affect the intestine directly!!! (What goes on your body also goes in your body!!)

These products can also contain gluten. Soaps, bath gels, shampoos, conditioners, mascara, cosmetics, and moisturizers. AND laundry detergents!!

Check your Bathroom and Medicine Cabinet

"Gluten sensitivity is a systemic immune reaction to gluten and anywhere in the body, not just that entering the body via the gut. Therefore, topically applied lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. containing gluten would indeed providea source of gluten to the body, and we therefore recommend all such products be discontinued
for optimal health." Dr. Kenneth Fine, M.D. of EnteroLab.com

Gluten free diet is NOT a weight-loss diet and NO it is not low carb!!!!

Gluten-free diet is the only “cure”for CELIAC DISEASE/gluten intolerance.

It is the permanent removal of gluten from the diet so that the small intestine can recover and return to
normal functioning.

The diet is not optional, but mandatory and not just for a period of time, but for life to avoid severe physical implications .

NO You CAN NOT CHEAT!!!!!!  You will get sick!!

(unless you are a diet fad freak who is obsessed with DIET!!)

What is Celiac disease?

Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a prolamin (gluten protein) found in wheat, and similar proteins found in the crops of the tribe Triticeae (which includes other common grains such as barley and rye).
 Upon exposure to gliadin, and specifically to three peptides found in prolamins, the enzyme tissue transglutaminase modifies the protein, and the immune system cross-reacts with the small-bowel tissue, causing an inflammatory reaction.
That leads to a truncating of the villi lining the small intestine (called villous atrophy). This interferes with the absorption of nutrients because the intestinal villi are responsible for absorption. The only known effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.
While the disease is caused by a reaction to wheat proteins, it is not the same as wheat allergy.
