Answer 3

Just like many things, gluten intolerance can be thought of a spectrum. If you have celiac disease then you are at the extreme end of the spectrum of gluten intolerance and can be diagnosed as having celiac disease because of the damage to the small intestine and antibodies in the blood. You can have what is also referred to as non-celiac gluten intolerance where you are intolerant to gluten but don't show up positive for celiac. Think of this as maybe a pre-celiac condition. And I am sure that there are degrees of this where you may just be slightly gluten intolerant and can eat some gluten without any problem.

Answer 4

I suggest looking online about foods suitable for someone with celiac's disease. My wife has IBS and cannot eat wheat, or so she was told. I have found my way around this. We serve a lot of sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, beans, cooked vegetables, rice, rice noodles, and such. Asian foods and Mexican foods made of corn are great. She eats a lot less wheat, but there are other things to take into consideration.

Consult a nutritionist and visit the local health food store. They should have a great selection of foods that are not full of gluten. My wife has trouble with pasta more than anything, so I serve rice noodles for her or else, ouzo rice, when we have spaghetti. She can eat bread, cakes, cookies, etc. now made out of wheat. The key is small amounts. For lunch, she might have a cheese sandwich, open-face style, an apple waldorf salad, leftover veggie and rice stirfry and low-fat ice cream. Dinner could be cheese lasagne, tuna salad, tomato soup and a fruit salad with a little sour cream for dessert. So she has two to three servings a day.

Fat, red meat, citrus fruits are the worst. So is beer. Red wine is okay if she only has a glass. We will get a bottle and I will have three glasses and she will have one. Moderation, along with sleep, water, exercise and certain nutritional supplements is the key. She no longer drinks much coffee either, so she has milk, water, tomato juice, diet soda, green tea, herbal tea and Yop drinks instead.

Answer 5

My nephew has this and was ill for the first 15 years of his life until it was diagnosed. When he lived in England,he would get his bread,spaghetti,etc,from Boots the chemist store,and health food shops. Now he lives in Spain and can get quite a lot of his food in supermarkets. Many have started health food ranges for people with illnesses. I know what a problem it is cos so many foodstuffs,even chocolate,contain wheat flour. Check out your shops,you might be surprised,or what about going to the library for recipe books and make your own snacks? Good luck

Answer 6

Popcorn is great, corn chips or tortilla chips are GF, (check the labels, though, and stay away from the flavored ones), and there are several GF cereals that you can snack on.

Answer 7

A veggie is a plant or part of a flower used as food

Answer 8

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 9

I like popcorn with salt, homemade, made with roasted peanut oil.

Answer 10

you could try rice cakes or popcorn
