You are a Gluten-Free step closer to a Healthy Body and herein lies the Secret!
Gluten-Free Lifesyle
So, you have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.....What do you do now?
Due to the current status of our wonderful medical system and the training that our M.D's get, they are not always very helpful when it comes to diet. It is getting better, but they still have a long way to go. That being said. We have put together a list of Do's and Don'ts when it comes to diet. There are many resources that can be used when it comes to going Gluten-Free. Here we will touch on diet, and where to procure the necessary items to stock your cupboards with. Whether you have Celiac Disease, or would like to lose weight, or just want to be healthier, these are good ideas.
Living Gluten-Free
Starting a Gluten-Free Diet or Lifestyle, as we like to call it, will be a big step in your life. You have to change your eating habits, starting from what you buy/bring for lunch, what you snack on, what you eat at parties or going out to restaurants, what you drink, and even what kind of personal care products you use. There are many names and derivatives of Gluten, this means you have to read the labels. Following a Gluten-Free Lifestyle means you cannot eat many of the so called dietary "mainstays," including pasta, cereals, oats, some cheeses, seasoned chips, and many processed foods that contain grains even frozen vegetables. You will need to be careful when eating packaged foods, as they may contain Gluten and you MUST always read the ingredients label. Most if not all of these processed/packaged foods are manufactured in the same facility as wheat, tree nuts, soy, peanuts, and so forth and are therefore contaminated with these known allergens . When going out to eat whether you are at a restaurant or fast food, ask about the ingredients of a dish/meal before ordering, even if it looks Gluten-Free.
But, just because you have Celiac Disease, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a well-balanced lifestyle. There are many alternatives for some of the most commonly consumed foods, for instance, bread and pasta made from other types of flour (rice, potato, corn, or soy) are available and are safe to consume. Food companies and some grocery stores also carry Gluten-Free products ranging from cookies, cereals, cakes, sauces, salad dressings, personal care products and more. You can also eat fresh foods that have not been artificially processed, such as fruits and vegetables that are in season, meats and fish, and approved grains like rice or buckwheat, since these do not contain gluten.
A health care professional or dietitian, who understands food and nutrition, specializing in these kind of specific diets, can help you with the Gluten-Free Lifestyle. Among our own, there are also support groups that can help people with Celiac Disease make the adjustment and take the first steps into this new life.
