Plus Delicious, Naturally Gluten-Free Bread

Many people suffer discomfort after eating foods that contain gluten. Until recently, the only people that ate a gluten-free diet were usually those afflicted by Celiac’s disease, a genetically inherited, autoimmune disorder that causes the body to destroy the lining of its own small intestine when gluten has been ingested. While we can test for Celiac’s disease, people without often complained of similar symptoms (brain fogginess, bloating, upset stomach, joint pain, diarrhea, and more) and claimed that eating gluten-free relieved those symptoms. The terms non-celiac gluten sensitivity and non-celiac wheat sensitivity are generally used to refer to this condition. Until recently, we did not believe this group was suffering any intestinal damage. But in 2016, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center published a study showing that this group was experiencing an immune reaction and intestinal damage.

Some also experience wheat allergies, which is different from Celiac Disease. Gluten, however, is not recognized as a food allergen, as it has not been known to cause the rapid anaphylaxis (the life-threatening, swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing that those allergic to peanuts experience). While wheat does contain gluten, those with a wheat allergy can consume other foods that contain gluten, as long as none of the food’s ingredients have ever come into contact with wheat during processing.

Beyond Celiac disease and intolerances, still, others simply claim that avoiding gluten makes them feel better or helps them lose weight. Plus there is a growing trend of those partaking the paleo-diet (a diet based on foods that humans might have eaten in the paleolithic area, which does not include bread).

All of our recipes are gluten-free. and you can use the search bar to find those that are Wheat-free if needed.

HOW CAN I EAT A GLUTEN-FREE DIET?

Foods that are labeled gluten-free, according to the Food and Drug Administration rules, must have fewer than 20 parts per million of gluten. Foods with these labels may include:

• Naturally gluten-free food
• Prepared food that doesn’t have a gluten-containing ingredient
• Food that has not been cross-contaminated with gluten-containing ingredients during production
• Food with a gluten-containing ingredient that has been processed to remove gluten

A gluten-free diet should not contain the following ingredients: wheat (durum, farina, graham, kamut, semolina, spelt), rye, barley and triticale (a cross between wheat and rye). Malt flavoring and malt vinegar may be derived from barley and should also be avoided.

Meanwhile, some acceptable gluten-free grains and flours are rice, corn, potato, tapioca, beans, garfava (chickpea and fava bean blend), sorghum, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, arrowroot, amaranth, and teff.
