Gluten Free

Question

Many people consider products made from whole grains, such as bread and cereal, to be delicious as well as nutritious. However, gluten allergies are on the rise, and many people can no longer eat these types of food. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. This substance can also be found in sauces, soups, and salad dressings. The widespread use of gluten can make it difficult to know which foods are safe for people with gluten allergies. Allergic responses to gluten can range from stomach aches to acne, and they can even cause more serious health issues in some individuals. A serious allergy to gluten is called celiac disease. In the United States, millions of people suffer from this disorder. Celiac is a digestive disease that hinders people from properly absorbing nutrients from food. This disease can lead to various health issues, so people with these allergies need to be careful about the food they eat.
Eating in restaurants can be difficult for people with celiac disease. However, there are things people can do to ensure that their food is safe. For example, calling ahead to see if the restaurant has a gluten-free menu is a start. Even when at the restaurant, people should not be afraid to ask the server or chef questions. Many dining establishments advertise gluten-free items such as meat, chicken, or fish that are not breaded or served with sauces that contain flour.
Shopping at a grocery store is the best way to ensure that the foods you are eating are gluten free. The package labels for many items will specify whether or not the product contains gluten. Be aware that boxed foods tend to have more hidden additives that contain gluten. By eating fresh fruits and vegetables, people can control exactly what they are eating. Some people choose to shop at a local farmers' market because it gives them the opportunity to hear first hand what is in the food.
Celiac disease and gluten intolerance does not have to hinder one's lifestyle. Eating gluten-free can be fairly easy as long as one is willing to ask the right questions, check the labels of products, and buy fresh foods.
