\nGluten-Free Kitchen Basics<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMay is National Celiac Awareness Month, an ideal time to bring awareness to this disease that affects 1 in 133 Americans. Celiac disease is an autoimmune response to eating gluten, a group of proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. By eating gluten, people with this intolerance risk damage to their small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients. It also contributes to a host of uncomfortable digestive symptoms. Celiac is often, though not exclusively, genetic. It can develop at any age, and many people go for years without getting an accurate diagnosis. To date, the only treatment is to eat a gluten-free diet exclusively. Use these tips to learn more about going gluten free.
