If Celiac Disease has recently been diagnosed in your family, thoughts of recipes and gluten free dining are a top priority. Celiac disease is an allergy or intolerance to foods containing this protein. Unfortunately, it is found in many foods and it can be difficult to weed out the foods that do not contain it. The solution is to prepare food yourself.
You will know all of the basic ingredients that go in to your food so you can avoid possible contamination. You will not have to go through the hassle of calling food companies to find out if their foods are free of contamination. You will never have to pay top dollar for already prepared foods that are certified gluten free.
Great recipes and diet options are plentiful. You just need to know where to look. There are helpful cookbooks such as Paleo Cookbook that can help you cook delicious meals using special free ingredients. A wide variety of healthy foods that are gluten free and good for you can be made easily with the right ingredients. Your entire family can eat healthily and one benefit to eating gluten free even if you do not have Celiac Disease is that the diet itself can help you lose weight.
You can make delicious peanut butter and jelly cookies by mixing together one cup of peanut butter, one cup of white sugar, one egg, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.You would then preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto cookie sheets. Make a hole in each one and fill the hole with fruit preserves of any flavor. Bake for eight to ten minutes and enjoy!
If you have already tried looking for already prepared gluten free foods, you have probably noticed the cost of some of these foods. A single loaf of bread can cost six dollars. With the right knowledge and tools, you can make such foods yourself. By researching the food you eat, you are making an investment in your health, and the health of your family. Knowing which foods you should avoid can make all the difference.
