Day 1 Of 2 Celiac Disease Food Tips And Products To Avoid

Estimates have shown that rates of Celiac disease diagnoses have risen by nearly 400%, and many still go undiagnosed.  There is no cure, no pill to take, only way to help is a strict gluten free diet.
If left untreated, Celiac disease can cause health problems such as malnutrition, developmental delays, lowered immunity, and neurological illness.  This is why it is vital to follow a healthy gluten free diet.

With no cure for the disease, the best way to manage its symptoms is a strict gluten free diet.  The focus should be including more anti inflammatory, healing type foods.  These foods can help repair the small intestines, correct any deficiency.  They include organic animal products, dairy, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and probiotic foods.

Here are some of the  healthiest gluten free foods.
  • Fruits and vegetables-  They are the cornerstone of any healthy diet and are naturally gluten free.  They contain fiber, antioxidants, and many essential nutrients.
  • Lean Proteins- These provided protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals that fight malnutrition and inflammation.
  • Healthy fats- This includes avocado, coconut, olive and flaxseed.
  • Nuts and Seeds-  Good sources of healthy fats, fiber, omega 4 fats and mineral, almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, hemp, chia, pumkin, sesame and sunflower are all good options.
  • Dairy- Organic and raw are best.  This provides you with calcium and potassium. 
  • Beans and gluten free whole grains-  Again high in protein, fiber and contain vitamins and minerals.
  • Gluten free spices and condiments
