I just recently checked out an exceptional book on the topic of eating gluten free:
In eating Gluten Free, Shreve Stockton, author of “The everyday Coyote” as well as a expert photographer, provides a special blend of info as well as recipes, including useful cooking as well as preparation hints. Stockton was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in 2003 as well as has dedicated herself to sharing all that she has discovered about living well, as well as eating well, with this prevalent condition.
From the book:
“The wheat-free/gluten-free diet plan is one of the fastest growing nutritional patterns in this country. … Gluten intolerance triggers an auto-immune reaction in the body, which indicates that the body generally attacks itself. … The resulting damage can be physical or neurological, as well as symptoms can variety from gastrointestinal distress to depression, stress and anxiety as well as fatigue. … In its a lot of serious form, celiac disease, damage shows up in the little intestine. When even the smallest amount of gluten is ingested, it triggers the body to assault itself, a process that inflames the lining of the little intestine, which makes it impossible to take in nutrients. … Gluten intolerance is often misdiagnosed as well as symptoms are frequently ascribed to many other conditions.”
“Many people who are not gluten intolerant are nonetheless finding the health and wellness benefits of a wheat-free/gluten complimentary diet. … Grains consisting of gluten are tough to digest, they jeopardize the body’s capability to preserve maximum health, as well as they can even have an adverse impact on brain chemistry.”
While I’m not gluten intolerant, I discovered the book inspiring in general as far as healthy eating as well as making modifications to one’s eating routines is concerned. I’m interested with the health and wellness benefits a diet plan lower in or complimentary of wheat as well as other harmful grains as well as plan to check out further. The book may even get me to begin cooking, considering that the author makes getting started noise relatively manageable. As a verified non-cook (my stove currently serves as an additional desk ….), that’s stating something!
Many of the recipes noise absolutely delicious, from the hot cakes made with sorghum flour as well as applesauce to the buckwheat banana bread to the creamy cauliflower soup to the hippie bars (part cookie, part cake). A large range of smoothie recipes is already getting me out of my protein powder/banana smoothie rut.
Humans are not the only types who can have issues with digesting grains. Our family pets likewise do much better on grain-free diets. See my previous articles “Amber is on a diet” as well as “How to select healthy foods for your pet” for a lot more info about healthy as well as grain-free diets for your pets.

Thanks for the link to the elimination diet, Julia – what a fantastic resource!
I believe we frequently tolerate things liike tiredness or headaches as “normal” since we believe we have no influence over our health. when we comprehend that we have far a lot more manage over our bodies than we believe we do, as well as we begin checking out exactly how to eat better, take much better care of our bodies, minds as well as spirits (and yoga is such a terrific method of doing that), we recognize that anything less than feeling great is just not acceptable.

Great post, Ingrid! I’ve checked out that as much as 60% of Americans are intolerant of wheat / gluten as well as aren’t conscious of it. The intolerance may show up as bloating, fatigue, headaches – all of which we can quickly compose off as “well this is just the method I am” or quality to stress. one of the very best methods to figure out exactly how these foods impact you is to go on an elimination diet plan – I did this diet plan in 2004 as well as it was truly eye opening as well as assisted me establish an eating plan that works for me. I published a copy of the diet plan on my web site – maybe your visitors will be thinking about trying it ?
