"I was diagnosed two years ago and have found that many of the recipes that are available for celiacs are not always very tasty, not adequately tested, and frequently leave much to be desired. That has not been my experience with this cookbook. It's like the skies have parted and I am enjoying cooking food again!"

-D. Hasselfeld, Phoenix

 

 

"I LOVE this cookbook! We like the variety of recipes that are offered and I haven't tried a recipe yet that I didn't like, My kids are having a blast with the home made ice cream cones and the Disneyland Monte Cristo Sandwich! I am looking forward to your NEXT one!"
-- J. Seven, Virginia

 

 

 





"Is candida albicans a trigger in the onset of celiac disease?"

This interesting study compares a specific amino acid sequence found in Candida cell wall protein to a gliadin amino acid sequence that triggers the immune response in celiac disease. The researchers found that the sequences are “identical or highly homologous to known celiac disease-related alpha-gliadin and gamma-gliadin T-cell epitopes,” and PROPOSE THAT CANDIDA IS THE TRIGGER FOR CELIAC DISEASE....Lancet. 2003 Jun 21;361(9375):2152-4.

To clarify, this research shows that a protein found in the cell wall of Candida is very simiilar to gluten. As a result, the immune system can confuse gluten found in grains for the cell wall of the candida and then mount a response against the gluten! The immune cell bound gluten then damages the small intestinal wall as in Celiac Disease!

Symptoms of Celiac Disease

Don't Be Misdiagnosed!

 

It is extremely important for health sufferers to become aware of the long list of intestinal diseases that can be attributed to Celiac Disease, but that mimic so many other diseases.

Celiac Disease is frequently misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, proctitis) pancreatitis, and even gall bladder disease, to name but a few.

There are numerous intestinal disorders that can be caused by or are related to Celiac Disease and many diseases that are associated with, or may be a by-product of Celiac Disease.

Do you know someone
with these symptoms?

They can range from no gluten sensitive symptoms at all to severe gas and diarrhea or non-intestinal disease symptoms such as muscle cramps, infertility, and even depression.

Symptoms of Celiac Disease can vary with each individual and cover a wide arena...

The symptoms of these intestinal conditions are very similar to the symptoms of celiac disease, another intestinal disease. Celiac disease is most commonly misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, gall bladder disease, Crohn's disease or ulcer or other digestive or intestinal disease. Celiac Sprue is not an allergy and those with celiac disease are gluten intolerant. Food allergies and wheat sensitivity or wheat or food allergies are much different than having celiac disease, however wheat free and gluten free cookbooks can be helpful for those with food allergies. Celiac disease is a genetic, inheritable immunologic disease which interferes with the digestion process. All or most bowel or intestinal disorders can be similar to Celiac Disease and can manifest with symptoms of severe diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and weight loss, to name a few. Symptoms of celiac disease can vary with each individual. Celiac Disease can also present with few symptoms and can be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, anemia, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infertility. Many intestinal diseases mimic celiac disease, such as the intestinal disorder group of inflammatory bowel disease, which includes intestinal illnesses as colitis, Crohn's disease, and proctitis.

Learn the difference between Celiac Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS and other bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease, gall bladder disease, colitis, proctitis, various digestive disease and intestinal disease.
