Gluten Free Cookbook

Learn to enjoy meals again with Gluten Free recipes.

If you’ve just been told that you or a family member has celiac disease, it’s likely your head is spinning with information overload and you’re in a daze of disbelief. A celiac diagnosis isn’t the worst thing but it can feel like the end of your world—at first.

I was diagnosed over ten years ago by a gastroenterologist who didn’t offer any guidance about how to live my life gluten free. Although I commend him for finally discovering the reason behind the ailments that had stumped doctors for many years, when he informed me that I had to change my lifestyle, he didn’t include instructions on how to do it. Since then, I’ve spoken to celiac groups and taught gluten-free cooking classes around the country and I can confirm my experience was not unique. People are often left with more questions than answers after their diagnosis and they can feel woefully unsupported.

Fortunately, it’s never been easier to embark on a special-diet lifestyle. Follow these tried-and-true steps to be on your way to a happier and healthier gluten-free life.

Understand Your Disease

Make a point to learn all you can about your condition. Read recently published books written by acknowledged experts and turn to websites run by national celiac organizations, noted celiac research centers and trusted publications. The Internet offers a wealth of material but some of it is erroneous or, at minimum, conflicting. Be sure to verify data and make certain your sources are reliable. As you learn more about the disease and your new lifestyle, you can explore other resources with more confidence and better scrutinize the information being proffered.

Don’t Settle

Just because you are now eating gluten free doesn’t mean that you don’t have the right to enjoy delicious meals. Trust me. I’ve tasted more than my share of just plain awful gluten-free food. Don’t buy it. Don’t order it. Don’t make it. Once you know it’s possible that your food can be just as good as (if not better than!) wheat-based foods, you’ll become adamant about wanting only the best. If we all demand better, companies and restaurants will have to respond with delicious products.

Exhale

Relax. It’s going to be all right. Your diagnosis is a life sentence, not a death sentence. You’ve been handed the opportunity to largely control your health by what you choose to put into your body. Without a prescription, you can heal yourself simply by taking charge and changing a few of your foods. Now don’t you feel better already?
