Gluten-free Diet

Gluten-free means avoiding products that contain gluten. When it comes to labeling food, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) controls and defines "gluten free". Gluten-free food must contain less than 20 parts/million (ppm).

Improve your health with these steps

It can be difficult to maintain a gluten free diet. Many grains contain gluten. Wheat, rye barley and hybrids are the main grains. Semolina and spelt are made from it. Also, it's in bulgur and couscous. Gluten is present in some flours, including white, graham and matzo flours, as well as enriched, self-rising, enriched flours.

Check the ingredients list to see if you can find gluten in these products.

• Pastas and breads
• Breading and stuffing (croutons),
• Salami, sausages, and hotdogs processed into deli meat

You should always check the label of processed food before you purchase it. On packaging, look for "gluten free" labels from the USDA. The USDA label "gluten free" is not synonymous with "wheat free." It's better to avoid gluten-containing foods if you suffer from celiac.

Considerations

Celiac can be a serious disease. It can be controlled by eliminating gluten. You may need to take some time to figure out how to eliminate gluten from your food. Speak to your doctor. You will be given a list that outlines what foods you are allowed to eat. Also, they may recommend working with a dietitian to create a nutrition plan that will ensure you are getting all of the necessary nutrients.

You may want to start your diet with a nutritional supplement. You only need to take a supplement if you haven't been able to absorb nutrients from gluten-containing foods. Choose a gluten-free supplement.

Gluten-free eating can reverse the damage that celiac has caused. Feel better. You can get your symptoms back if you eat badly. You can cope with stress by:

• Do as much research as possible on gluten-free eating. You can find websites, cookbooks, and books that explain how to eat without gluten.
