Guide To Eating Gluten-Free

<p>What is gluten, how do you maintain a gluten-free diet and who should be eating gluten-free?</p>
<p>That’s what we’re covering in this guide!</p>
<p>Whether you’re considering a gluten-free lifestyle or have already made the change and are looking for some additional support, we’ve got you covered.</p>
<p>We’ll start with the basics!</p>
<h3>What Is Gluten?</h3>
<p>It is a nutrient? Is it a plant? What is this infamous food component that so many people are talking about!</p>
<p>Gluten is the name of a family of proteins that are found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale (a combination of rye and wheat). The primary proteins in the gluten family are gliadin and glutenin.</p>
<p>These gluten proteins are responsible for the elasticity found in gluten-containing food products. Think of the doughy, spongey texture associated with a fresh loaf of bread.</p>
<p>They essentially create a spider web in the center of the food item that acts as the glue holding everything together. It also helps bread products rise as they bake!</p>
<h3>Why Eat Gluten Free?</h3>
<p>There are three primary reasons for maintaining a gluten free diet; a wheat allergy, a gluten sensitivity/intolerance and celiac disease.</p>
<p>Before we discuss wheat allergies, let’s establish the difference between a gluten sensitivity/intolerance and celiac disease, the two are often confused for one another.</p>

<h3>Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance v. Celiac Disease</h3>
<p>What’s the difference between the two?</p>
<h4>Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity Or Intolerance</h4>
<p>Depending on who you’re talking to, you may hear them say gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance, the two phrases are commonly used interchangeably.</p>
<p>A gluten sensitivity or intolerance is characterized by a negative reaction to gluten intake without the presence of celiac disease.</p>
<p>Do people with gluten sensitivities or an intolerance have a disease? No, they do not. Can they still have debilitating symptoms associated with the consumption of gluten? Absolutely.</p>
<p>Possible symptoms may include diarrhea, constipation, bloating, lethargy and stomach pain.</p>
<p>Many disease states result in an increased likelihood of developing a gluten sensitivity/intolerance. Irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and various other auto-immune diseases are examples of this.</p>
<p>With that being said, it’s important to note that it is also quite common for people to inaccurately self-diagnose a gluten sensitivity. For example, a study was conducted in 2015 where 392 patients claiming to have a gluten sensitivity or intolerance were clinically investigated to determine the validity of their assumption.</p>
<p>The study concluded that only 26 of the patients actually had celiac disease, 27 patients had a legitimate gluten sensitivity or intolerance and the remaining 337 patients did not meet the diagnosis requirements (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26043918">1</a>).</p>
<h4>Celiac Disease</h4>
<p>Those with celiac disease may experience some of the same symptoms as those with a gluten sensitivity or intolerance, but there is a bit more severity here.</p>
<p>Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. In this scenario, the body treats gluten as an unwanted invader. This results in the body attacking both gluten as well as the lining of the digestive tract.</p>
<p>More specifically, the villi lining the small intestine. Villi are essentially small, finger-like projections that are responsible for absorbing nutrients from the food we consume.</p>
<p>When celiac disease is present, every time gluten is consumed, more damage is done to these villi. This can result in the malabsorption of key nutrients and can also result in an increased risk of developing many disease states later on in life.</p>
<p>There are two primary ways to definitively diagnose celiac disease: a blood test or a biopsy.</p>
<p>For the blood test, you must be eating gluten in order for the results to be accurate. When positive, Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies (tTG-IgA) are found in particularly high levels in the blood.</p>
<p>For the biopsy, a small sample of tissue is removed from the small intestine to determine whether or not damage has been done to the villi.</p>
<h4>Wheat Allergy</h4>
<p>Now that we know the difference between a gluten sensitivity/intolerance and celiac disease, let’s establish the definition of a wheat allergy.</p>
<p>A wheat allergy is a bit different. Reason being, it occurs when the body creates antibodies in response to protein found in wheat, but not necessarily gluten proteins.</p>
<p>A skin test or a blood test will usually be used to diagnose a wheat allergy.</p>
<h3>Should I Be Eating a Gluten-Free Diet?</h3>
<p>If you’re wondering whether or not maintaining a gluten-free diet is right for you, your best bet is to meet with a <a href="http://nutritionstripped.com/services">registered dietitian</a> to determine whether or not your symptoms are associated with gluten intake.</p>
<p>Once this is appropriately determined, your next step will be to touch base with your doctor. They will help you determine whether it is a sensitivity/intolerance, celiac disease or wheat allergy.</p>
<h3>Guide To Eating Gluten Free</h3>
<p>After you’ve determined that eating gluten free is right for you – where should you start?</p>
<p>Depending on how reliant you are on gluten products, it may seem pretty daunting to suddenly remove all gluten from your diet.</p>
<p>Instead of abruptly removing all gluten products and resorting to your other food groups, finding viable substitutes can make the transition a bit smoother.</p>
<p>Understanding nutrition labels is a great way to confidently select gluten-free substitutes!</p>

<h3>Label Reading When Eating Gluten Free</h3>
<p>Reading labels can seem overwhelming and complicated when you’re first introduced to it, but I have a step-by-step guide for you that will help simplify the process.</p>
<h4><strong>Step 1: check out the packaging for a certified gluten free label or image</strong></h4>
<p>While not all gluten-free products will have this indication, if it does, it takes the guess work out of the equation for you! If you don’t see this indication, move on to step two.</p>
<h4><strong>Step 2: look at the allergen section of the nutrition label</strong></h4>
<p>The FDA has created a Food Allergen Label Law that requires all manufacturers to denote when any of the top 8 food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy) are present in their products.</p>
<p>When reading labels, look towards the bottom of the label for the title “contains:”, if you see wheat listed there, you know the product is not gluten free. If on the other hand wheat is not listed, then move on to step three.</p>
<h4><strong>Step 3: check the ingredient list for barley, rye, triticale, malt and brewer’s yeast</strong></h4>
<p>If your product makes it through these three steps, you should be good to go! If you’re still unsure or having any difficulty with label reading for a gluten-free diet, you can always rely on plant-based products and food items that are naturally gluten free (i.e. meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc.).</p>
<p>Plus, you can always work with a <a href="http://nutritionstripped.com/services">registered dietitian</a> to get some individualized guidance!</p>
<h3>Gluten Substitutes</h3>
<p>Now that you’re able to read labels, let’s talk about some specific substitutions you can rely on for your former gluten-containing favorites.</p>
<h4>Bread</h4>
<p>Gluten-free bread products are becoming more readily available as the years go on. From traditional breads to tortillas, pizza crusts and even English muffins, there are quite a few options out there.</p>
<p>Look for products that use other nutrient dense ingredients such as quinoa, amaranth, chia, millet, flaxseeds, cashew flour, almond flour, chickpea flour and cassava flour.</p>
<p>Some gluten-free breads will sneak some unnecessary ingredients in there like excess cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup – keep an eye out for these.</p>
<p>Don’t forget, you can always make your own bread at home. This <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/grain-free-walnut-bread/">Gluten-Free Walnut Bread</a> is one of my favorites!</p>
<h4>Pasta & Noodles</h4>
<p>Some of my favorite gluten-free pasta and noodle options are brown rice, bean and quinoa-based products. They often have a bit more protein and fiber than traditional pasta options, plus they even have some added fiber, vitamins and minerals.</p>
<p>All of these varieties are comparable in texture and taste to traditional pasta as well! You can find almost every shape and size in the grocery store – from elbows to linguini and noodles, you have quite a few options to choose from.</p>
<h4>Baked Goods</h4>
<p>There are so many great gluten-free flour mixes that can be used! From coconut flour to almond flour and rice flour, the combinations are endless.</p>
<p>If you’re baking at home, these <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/gooey-toasted-coconut-chocolate-brownies/">brownies</a>, these <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/">cookies</a> and this <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/gluten-free-banana-bread/">banana bread</a> are all great options for you to try out.</p>
<p>You can also find some awesome baked goods for your next birthday party or dinner party in the grocery store! Just keep an eye out for proper labeling as we discussed above.</p>
<h4>Dressings & Sauces</h4>
<p>Making your favorite store-bought dressings and sauces at home is a great way to keep things simple. You can use this <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/definitive-guide-salad-dressings/">Definitive Guide to Salad Dressings</a> to get started!</p>
<p>If you’re a fan of soy sauce, liquid aminos are a great alternative. They’re naturally gluten free and have a very comparable taste with even less sodium.</p>

<h3>Does Eating Gluten Free <em>Work</em>?</h3>
<p>So you’ve just found out that you have celiac disease, but when you eat gluten you barely have any symptoms. That means it’s perfectly fine to have here and there? Not quite.</p>
<p>It’s very important to avoid consuming gluten if you have an allergy, disease or intolerance. First and foremost, if you are one of those people experiencing stomach pains, diarrhea, constipation or lethargy due to one of these complications, maintaining a gluten free diet will undoubtedly relieve these symptoms.</p>
<p>For example, I had a patient who had previously been experiencing stomach cramping, constipation and diarrhea weekly. Despite her various efforts, she was unable to make any significant progress in determining what was causing her symptoms. After abiding by a gluten-free diet for six weeks, she no longer had any of the above state symptoms. We then challenged this idea by adding gluten back into her diet, and the symptoms immediately came back.</p>
<p>If you’re not experiencing serious symptoms but you have celiac disease, you also need to abide by the diet. Consuming gluten is causing serious, tangible damage to the villi of your small intestine. A slip up here and there is completely understandable, we’re human after all! But try your best to abide by your doctor and registered dietitian’s recommendations- it will only help you in the long run.</p>

<h2 style="font-family:BebasNeueRegular, arial, Georgia, serif; font-size:23px;"><strong style="text-transform:uppercase;">Apple Cider Vinegar—Nature’s Wonder Drug?</strong></h2>
<p>Apple Cider Vinegar is a popular home remedy.  But did you know that its health benefits date back to Egyptian Urns in 3000 B.C.? The Babylonians as well as Julius Caesar’s army used it to stay healthy and fight off disease. The Greeks and Romans kept vinegar vessels for healing and flavoring. It was used in biblical times as an antiseptic and a healing agent. In Paris in the Middle Ages it was sold from barrels by street vendors as a body deodorant, healing tonic, and delicious drink to keep the body healthy and ageless.</p>
<p>Even Christopher Columbus and crew on their voyage to discover America in 1492 had vinegar barrels for prevention of scurvy as did the U.S. Civil War soldiers.  It helped disinfect and heal their wounds. For centuries in Japan, the samurai warriors drank it for strength and power.</p>
<p>Over thousands of years we have learned that ACV has multi-purposes and a multitude of health benefits.  There is actually a great deal of science behind just how and why ACV seems to be a “cure-all” for so many things. Yes, there is also hype and confusion around what works and what doesn’t work, but all one has to do is look just a little below the surface to uncover the amazing attributes of apples allowed to slowly ferment.</p>
<p>Organic ACV is unpasteurized and contains what is known as “the mother” of vinegar, which makes the vinegar appear somewhat cloudy. Also known as Mycoderma aceti, mother of vinegar is created when acetic acid bacteria and a type of cellulose develop during the fermentation process. Mother of vinegar is harmless, contains health-promoting characteristics such as living nutrients and friendly bacteria, and lets you know that the vinegar is unpasteurized. Most vinegar manufacturers nowadays pasteurize the vinegar before it hits the shelves, to get rid of the mother of vinegar, and in turn, a lot of the nutrients that the vinegar offers.</p>
<p>When choosing an ACV, make sure to select one that is raw, organic and unpasteurized, as the pasteurization process can destroy many of the health benefits. Organic, unpasteurized ACV has a cobweb-looking solid floating inside; as stated earlier, known as mother of vinegar, and is a natural cellulose produced by the vinegar bacteria.</p>
<p>Beneficial Properties – Some of the beneficial properties contained within mother of vinegar include:</p>
<p><strong>Potassium:</strong> essential for healthy metabolism, as well as water and chemical balance in the body<br />
<strong>Iron:</strong> important for blood health<br />
<strong>Magnesium:</strong> vital to heart health<br />
<strong>Enzymes:</strong> boost chemical reactions in the body<br />
<strong>Malic acid:</strong> protects vinegar from viruses, bacteria and fungus<br />
<strong>Acetic acid:</strong> slows the digestion of starch and inhibits bacterial growth<br />
<strong>Calcium:</strong> builds strong bones and teeth<br />
<strong>Pectin:</strong> helps regulate blood pressure and cholesterol<br />
<strong>Ash:</strong> maintains a healthy alkaline state in the body</p>
<p>Other Minerals, Trace Elements and Vitamins:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chlorine</li>
<li>Copper</li>
<li>Fluorine</li>
<li>Phosphorous</li>
<li>Pro-vitamin beta-carotene</li>
<li>Silicon</li>
<li>Sodium</li>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Vitamin B1</li>
<li>Vitamin B2</li>
<li>Vitamin B6</li>
<li>Vitamin C</li>
<li>Vitamin E</li>
<li>Vitamin P</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>More Powerhouse Properties</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Alkalinity:</strong> A big reason why ACV is so effective for so many conditions is because it makes the body alkaline, as opposed to acidic. The more acidic your body is, the better the environment for sickness and disease to take hold. Even though ACV is acidic, it has an alkalinizing impact on the body during digestion, unlike other vinegars.</p>
<p><strong>The 3 A’s</strong>: ACV contains potent antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties, which help to make it so effective for so many conditions.</p>
<p><strong>Detoxifier</strong>: Toxins often accumulate in our bodies, and the malic acid in ACV helps to eliminate these dangerous compounds. By doing so, ACV supports healthy kidney, bladder and liver function.</p>
<p>While there are likely over a hundred different health issues that have responded positively with ACV, here are just a sampling:</p>
<ul style="margin-left:20px;">
<li>Weight loss and fat breakdown</li>
<li>Cancer</li>
<li>Itching</li>
<li>Sore throat</li>
<li>Strengthen bones</li>
<li>Candida</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li>Carpal tunnel syndrome</li>
<li>Blood pressure</li>
<li>Leg cramps</li>
<li>Edema</li>
<li>Allergies</li>
<li>Heart burn</li>
<li>Auto immune illnesses</li>
<li>Constipation</li>
<li>Warts, Callouses, and Corns</li>
</ul>
<p>Since there are so many benefits to consuming ACV daily, we thought we would give you some ideas on how to introduce it into your diet.</p>
<ol style="margin-left:20px;">
<li>Drizzle a teaspoon on top of your salad or mix it with your favorite salad dressing.</li>
<li>Add apple cider vinegar to mayonnaise-based or other vinaigrette-based salads like coleslaw.</li>
<li>Use as a marinade for vegetables.  A vinegar marinade works well mixed with equal parts of olive oil.</li>
<li>Try a delicious mixture of 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar poured over grilled or roasted vegetables. This also works well poured over sautéed vegetables.</li>
<li>If you love popcorn and want a low calorie substitute for butter, fill a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and finely spray the popcorn and top with a little sea salt or pepper.</li>
<li>You can easily add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to any smoothie, but this one works well! Start by putting 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar into the blender, add a whole banana, 5 chopped strawberries, one tablespoon of honey, 1/2 cup of apple or orange juice, and a handful of leafy greens and blend until smooth.</li>
<li>Start your morning with a 6 or 8-ounce glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and little honey or lemon. You can also add the vinegar to any juice.</li>
<li>Rinse your fruits and vegetables with vinegar. This adds some vinegar to your diet and also removes harmful bacteria and pesticides.</li>
<li>Mix with ginger and drink to soothe an upset stomach.</li>
<li>Add 1 Tbs. to your workout water to fight lactic acid buildup.</li>
<li>DIY liver tonic—mix ACV with pure, sparkling water.</li>
</ol>
<p>Why haven’t more people been using this incredible supplement? Although it isn’t expensive, and it is easy to find, the truth is, we seem to go for the exotic, expensive supplements when what will help us most is already in our gardens and refrigerators.  We need ACV and it is a natural, wholefood supplement!  I think I am going into the kitchen now to open up a new, unused bottle and make a warm ACV, distilled water and lemon drink and let’s see how I sleep tonight.  With all of the amazing health benefits, we would all be foolish not to go back to this tried and true miracle.  What are some ways that can introduce ACV into your daily diet?</p>

<h4>Health Benefits of Turmeric</h4>
<p>The spotlight is on curcumin here. Curcumin in the main component found in <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/food-index/turmeric/">turmeric</a> that is responsible for the well-known medicinal benefits and properties. Turmeric and curcumin have been studied for their involvement in improving IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), symptoms of Crohn’s disease, immune health, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystic fibrosis.</p>
<p>Curcumin also inhibits cancer cell growth and has been shown to help prevent colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, tumor growth, and even prostate cancer. It can help reduce the risk of childhood leukemia and also improve liver function. Turmeric has also been associated with the prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular complications, and Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<h4>Health Benefits of Cauliflower</h4>
<p>Cauliflower can provide protection against cancer, anti-inflammation, cardiovascular benefits, and improved digestive health. Sulforaphane found in cauliflower helps protect the digestive lining and prevents bacterial overgrowth such as H. pylori.</p>
<p>Cauliflower-containing diets and the cruciferous vegetable family have been studied most in relation to cancer protection. As with most fruits and vegetables, cauliflower also contains great amounts of fiber which helps keep our digestive system moving, keeps us fuller for a longer period of time and releases a steady flow of energy into our bodies.</p>
<p>We can’t take the full credit for this brilliant recipe. Aloo Gobi is a traditional Indian dish and this recipe was inspired by chef and author Priya Krishna.</p>
