   Celiac Disease Foods

   With celiac disease, you can’t eat anything made with wheat, barley, rye, and should avoid oats. So, you have to give up versions of the foods you love but don’t have to give them up completeley. I have been eating a celiac (gluten-free) diet for almost six months now.

   I eat Tinkyada noodles which are made from rice just like I use to eat regular pasta noodles. I still eat pizza - don’t ask me what the crust is made of, I don’t make it. I’ve tried many different versions and like the Glutino frozen crusts the best. I get to go out for gluten-free pizza tomorrow for the first time - I can’t wait! I eat Enviro-Kidz cereal most of the time. I prefer the Gorilla Munch but my family also likes the Panda Puffs. I also eat a Fruity Pebbles type cereal that my grocery store makes. I’ve heard Fruity and Coco Pebbles are gluten-free but I can’t vouch for that. Rice Chex are now marked gluten-free.

   The big thing is to focus on what you can eat. Fruits, vegetables, and plain meat are all ok. Not so plain meats (hot dogs, hamburgers, lunch meat) can be ok but you have to read labels. I eat a ton of Mexican foods - tacos, refried beans, rice, etc but I have to eat them at home rather than out. I’ve also learned the joys of Thai and Indian dishes. I won’t go into all the junk food items that are gluten-free. I’ll just mention a couple: Fritos and Wendy’s Frosty. Some restaurants (ex- Outback, Chik-Fil-A) have gluten-free menus so eating out does not become a thing of the past - just less convient.

   Celiac Foods

   We have lots of information about this disease.

   If a person has Celiac Disease, then their lining of the small intestine becomes injured when someone eats wheat, rye, barley, or oats. The proteins of these grains make your body think you have the flu and it destroys the part of the body where you should absorb food. So that is why one does not grow as a child if you eat wheat, rye, barley or oats.

   However, you are lucky to be diagnosed now. There are many products on the market made from rice, corn, millet, sorghum, and many other grains. Most stores always have a few gluten free products on the shelf- In Meijers you look for the healthy living section.

   We will be happy to send you some more information.

   We will have a pizza party on May 20 6:30 p.m. Community of Christ 1514 W. Miller Rd. You are welcome to come.

   Call 349-0294 or 517 886 5025 if you like more information.
