Tips For Gluten Free Cooking
A digestive disorder that affects children and adults is called celiac disease. Someone with celiac disease cannot eat anything containing gluten. Gluten damages the small intestine. It then does not absorb the food properly. The smallest amount of gluten consumed can cause problems with your health. Grains contain proteins that can harm someone living with this condition. This can be found in wheat, rye, barley, and even some oats. Although celiac disease cannot be cured, individuals will have to switch to gluten free cooking.
Celiac disease is hard to diagnose. In some cases, symptoms of the condition may never surface, other cases symptoms may surface because of a pregnancy or surgery. Cases have gone undiagnosed because the symptoms are not noticeable. Sometimes a family member was diagnosed because their condition was severe then other members of the family can be tested because it is genetically inherited. If you have been diagnosed, it is time to change your eating style.
If your doctor diagnosed you with this condition, they also told you to change your eating habits. There are certain foods that need to be avoided which include breads, pizza, cakes and much more. However, once you have some time in gluten free cooking under your belt, it is become easier and easier that you won't be bothered by the change.
Changing your eating style may be frightening. You may think you won't be able to cook gluten free foods but once you gain some experience gluten free cooking will not be a big deal. The key is to keep it simple when cooking foods with no gluten
If you have to change your eating habits to help your condition, you may need to learn about grains and starches, which ones are safe and which ones are not. What you have to do is substitute gluten free grains for barley, wheat, rye, etc. For example, one way in keeping it simple is to constantly have gluten-free baking and pancake mix in your cupboards. This is because you can always make an instant flour blend to prepare for a meal. You can use this mix to thicken soups and sauces; meals such as pizza, bread can be made using baking mix.
Those living with celiac disease should pay special attention when grocery shopping to the labels on the food products. They should also stay away from processed food. With all the food that contains gluten ingredients, so contacting the manufacturing company is in your best interest if you are not sure about foods being gluten free.
When learning gluten free cooking, keeping a cookbook on hand for some ideas when making meals can help you find new meals you like. A local library should have books available. Going online is another way to find some recipes, be sure however, the website is reputable.
Celiac disease is not the end of the world. A minor change such as substituting ingredients you cannot have with ones you can have is what is needed for your body to be healthy. This does not mean you cannot step into a restaurant ever again. This just means you will have a smaller selection when you eat out. Once you live a gluten free life, you body starts to heal... A small price to pay. - 17268
