What is a gluten-free diet?

Gluten refers to the proteins found in wheat, rye and barley which cause an adverse reaction in people with gluten-related disorders. On a gluten-free diet, these grains and any foods or ingredients derived from them must be removed from the diet. This includes the obvious breads, pastas and baked goods made with gluten-containing flours, but may also include less obvious foods such as sauces, salad dressings, soups and other processed foods, since these can contain small amounts of ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains. ( Oats are inherently gluten-free, but there can be cross-contact with wheat or barley during harvesting or processing. While products labeled gluten-free should comply with the FDA definition of containing no more than 20 ppm of gluten, this is not third-party verified. GFCO’s standard for gluten-free is 10 ppm of gluten or less. 

5 THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT CELIAC DISEASE

1. It is not an allergy. It’s a common misconception that those with Celiac are allergic to gluten.
2. ​It is autoimmune. Those diagnosed with Celiac Disease suffer damage to the lower intestine if they ingest gluten.
3. ​Celiac for life. There is no cure or prevention, but following a gluten-free diet is the way of life!
4. ​Gluten hides everywhere. From beer to soy sauce, gluten is in far more items than the bread products lining the shelves of your local bakery.
5. ​Celiac leads to other issues. If undiagnosed, this autoimmune disease can lead to other issues, such as lactose intolerance, anemia, and GI cancers.
