Why is gluten so bad? I would love to know why it should be removed from our diets. I see tons of gluten free products at the supermarket,but have NO idea why I should use them!
Thanks!

Excellent question, Bonnie.
According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, “Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten.” You will find more information about symptoms and related diseases athttp://www.celiaccentral.org/Celiac-Disease/21/
My husband and 2 of my sons have Celiac disease. My daughter and youngest son are allergic to wheat. This is why we are gluten free.
Gluten is mostly found in cereal & grains, especially wheat. Some substitutes don’t taste too good, but more and more the food industry has been making better tasting gluten free foods because a lot of folks are finding that they feel better without gluten.

I love all of your recipes. I limit Gluten as much as I can because it makes me bloated and irritable. I have eliminated most of it from my little boy’s diet as well and his moods have improved greatly. Thank you. Joining you from UBC. 🙂
Barbara says
Thanks, Amanda! It’s amazing how many different ways gluten can effect our wellbeing.

Coach Donna L. Ward says
I have several clients that I coach in their businesses that teach about just what you wrote – so I am getting more and more aware and agreeing with what I hear! Thank you for another really great reminder for health!
Barbara says
You’re welcome, Donna. Awareness is the key.
Thanks for commenting.

Great list of products, too bad most them are not available in Canada. It is getting better, both my father and niece have issues with gluten.
I like you answer to Bonnie’s question. Sadly I think gluten free has become trendy, many people are eating gluten free without understand why and how to get a balance diet. More products have shown up in the last year than every before. I do find the price is going up because it it trendy.
My only advice is know why you are eating gluten free, research the pros and cons if you are doing it for any other reason then celiac or wheat allergy issues.
Pages like this one are great resources. Thank you sharing all that you know and the great recipes.

Hello Heather,
I know what you mean about the price. There have been some discounts offered recently, though ie. a dollar off coupon on the Udi’s site. Hopefully, we’ll see prices come down with the increased interest in eating gluten-free, more people buying, then more competition. That tends to lower prices. Also, buying in bulk is a good way to save.
