You must have read that gluten is a type of storage protein, found naturally in grains. It consists of two proteins, glutenin and gliadin. It is commonly found in grass-like grains like, rye, barley, spelt and wheat. For some people, consumption of gluten results in celiac disease (disorder of the small intestine). Gluten intolerance leads to damaged small intestine and gastrointestinal distress. Diarrhea, vomiting, mouth ulcers, foot cramps, skin allergies, depression, abdominal pain, fatigue are some of the commonly observed gluten allergy symptoms. This disease cannot be cured and the patient is expected to follow a gluten free diet.
Gluten Free Foods
Following a balanced diet without gluten is challenging but not impossible. Grains are to be avoided and various fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, nuts are to be included in 'gluten free diet list'. One should consume more of whole grain food items.
Various ready-to-eat 'meals without gluten' are available in market. But a homemade meal that does not contain gluten can be prepared with the help of 'gluten free ingredients'. That is always the healthier option. Here is the list:
Making your own flour blend can prove beneficial for you. Instead of choosing only one sprouting grain at a time, combining a variety of sprouting grains can reduce the impact of allergy. Studies on the appropriateness of the diet of oats continue with mixed results. There is less clarity in the researches and so a diet consisting of oats cannot be called 'totally risk free' (gluten free), yet.
Information on gluten free cereals is easily available on the Internet. You can start your day with a fresh fruit, tea or milk, and some gluten free cereal. You can add some fresh fruits or raisins to the cereals to make them healthier. Always eat unprocessed meat or fish dishes for lunch or dinner. Corn tortillas with tomato salsas, rice noodles, plain yogurt can be a part of your lunch and dinner. Soups and salads with low fat dressings are quite helpful, when included in daily diet. You can also enjoy the special gluten free desserts. Plain corn chips, fresh fruits and vegetables, popcorn, yogurt with fresh fruits, corn tacos, dry fruits can be enjoyed as snacks.
