Gluten Intolerance
Did You Know...
Gluten injures the lining of the small intestine, resulting in weight loss,
bloating, gas, diarrhea, cramps, fatigue, or vitamin and mineral deficiency?
If you have gluten intolerance, or celiac disease, you already know how frustrating it can be to have to live a gluten-free lifestyle...But it doesn't have to be that way. When you educate yourself and take action you can live a healthy, happy, gluten-free life.
Gluten is a type of protein that is found in flour. Therefore, it is present in pizza, bread, and many baked items.
Gluten comes from:
* Wheat
* Barley
* Rye
Doctors don't know the cause of gluten intolerance. It is speculated, however, that viruses or infections can trigger changes in your immune system that lead to celiac disease. It is also believed that gluten intolerance may be genetic, so if someone in your family is gluten intolerant and you are experiencing the symptoms listed above, there is a good chance you may have gluten intolerance as well.
What Can You Eat?
If you are gluten intolerant you obviously need to avoid all foods that contain gluten. Do not eat any foods made with wheat, rye, or barley. Don't drink any beer or ale.
If you are unsure whether or not you can eat or drink something, just check the ingredients. If you feel that gluten intolerance is adversely affecting your health a simple change in your diet will help you feel better.
You CAN eat:
* Eggs
* Meat
* Fish
* Fruit
* Vegetables
* Flours and starches made from rice
* Corn
* Buckwheat
* Potatoes
* Most soy products
This is a large list of available items to eat, but it gets frustrating trying to keep track of it all. It doesn't have to be that way…
