Celiac Disease - Gluten / Wheat Intolerance

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that is triggered by the consumption of gluten. Gluten is protein found in grains like wheat, rye, barley and other related grains.  With celiac disease the lining of the small intestines is injured by gluten. Injured intestines results in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps and nutritional deficiencies. If gluten is removed from the diet the intestinal lining will not be damages or has a chance to heal. Many with celiac disease remain on a gluten-free diet throughout their lifes. Removing gluten from your diet is not easy. Grains are used in the preparation of many foods. Reading the ingredient’s name may not disclosure the inclusion of gluten. Examples would be oats. Oaks are suppose to be safe for gluten patients but have been known to be cross-contaminated if processed in the same facilities as wheat. Celiac disease is a hereditary condition. Most common among  with those of Scandinavian-Celtic descent. Approximately 1 in 133 people are gluten intolerant. A specialized doctor should be consulted.

Casein Allergy
Casein is a primary type protein found in milk and milk derivatives. Some manufactured foods can contain casein. Casein allergy is more common in children than adults. Casein allergy is an immune system disorder. Symptoms can be rashes, eczema and stomach cramps. More severe reaction can occur. Note that manufactured foods may contain casein. Read the labels and check for casein-free products.

The Paleo Diet can be restrictive (note that some Gluten-Safe Foods are not allowed). Some may suggest that if Cavemen did it we in modern society should be able to strictly conform. Some of the foods restricted on the Paleo Diet have nutritional benefits. If you are not lactose intolerant milk is a good source of calcuim and protein. Beans have several nutrient values. On the other hand, The Paleo Diet's emphasis on lean meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, elimination of sugar, low carbs and preservative free diet has long term health benefits. Based on your personal preferences a strict or modified Paleo Diet maybe best suited for your health, weight-loss goals and life style.

Gluten Free Kitchen  and Restaurant Tips
Cooking and Restaurant Tips for The Paleo Diet

Gluten free meals requires that cooking surfaces, utensils and cooking oils are gluten free.  If your whole household requires a gluten free diet it is a easy task. But if not everyone in the household requires gluten free meals it just requires different rules of preparation for gluten tolerant  and for gluten free house members. Cooking tips to consider at home and when dining in a restaurant.
One of the main concerns with a gluten free diet is cross-contamination.  Gluten meals have to be prepared with no cross contamination from gluten products in your kitchen and in restaurants. Cross-contamination happens if gluten containing foods come in contact with gluten free foods. An example is commercial oaks.  Oaks are gluten free  but can be processed in the same environment as wheat there for can become cross contaminated. For those that require a gluten-free diet oaks should not be consumed. Likewise, preparation of gluten free foods requires rules to eliminate cross-contamination with gluten produces in your home and in restaurant.

Here are a few kitchen tips:

1.Use two  different sifter for gluten foods and gluten free foods. Label the two sifters one for gluten and the other for gluten-free.
2. Do not prepare gluten foods on same surface with gluten free foods. If the same surface is used it must be cleaned thoroughly before gluten free food preparation.
3.  Use different utensils for gluten free foods and foods containing gluten. If the same utensils are used the utensils have to be cleaned thoroughly for gluten free products.
4. The same toaster  cannot be used for gluten containing foods and gluten free foods. A separate toaster is needed for gluten free products.
5. Gluten free foods cannot  be fried in the same oil used to fry gluten breaded items. One simple rule that can be easily overlooked.
6.  Cross contamination can occur with jams, jelly, mustard, mayonnaise and butter. Watch out for gluten crumbs that can be shared.  Have separate items for celiac persons. 

Gluten Free Tips at Restaurants:

1. Check with waiter or owner of the restaurant to verify that fried foods are not cooked in same oil as gluten products.
2.  In restaurant the grill has to be cleaned before preparing gluten free foods.
3.  Verify that salad dressings, sauces, gravies and fried foods are gluten free.
4.  Remember Gluten Free Safe Foods:
-Fresh poultry
-Fish and meats (cannot be marinated, breaded or basted coated)
-Most dairy products
-Fresh fruit
-Fresh vegetables
-Rice
-Potatoes
-Gluten free flours (rice, soy, corn, potato)

Note: “Wheat-Free” does not mean gluten free. These products may still contain gluten.
