    What is Gluten Free?

    If you have read any magazine or newspaper, seen any television commercial or used the internet lately, you have likely heard or read something about a gluten free diet. But just what is gluten free? Simply put, gluten free diet is a diet that excludes gluten, the primary villain for those who have celiac disease. However, many people have found that eliminating gluten from their diet also helps with allergies, certain autism characteristics (although there is some controversy over these claims) and even weight loss.

    Gluten is a protein that is found in many grains including wheat, rye and barley. It can cause all sorts of problems with people who have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. For people with celiac disease, it can cause quite a bit of discomfort, creating inflammation in the small intestines. Other symptoms of celiac disease include irritability, fatigue, decreased appetite, chronic (sometimes bloody) diarrhea and growth problems (in children).

Most traditional breads and cereals are enriched and fortified with these nutrients so some people may not realize the disconnect.

    The menus and meal plans in this book are well rounded and nutritionally sound. Every effort was make to ensure that the recipes here have ingredients that should be fairly easy to find. And when you must alter your diet, the easier it is to find the ingredients and foods you need, the easier it is to stick with the plan. Being gluten free is important for those who require that special diet, but getting the proper nutrition is equally important.
