Celiac is not the easiest thing to live with. I had an employee that worked for me about a year ago that had Celiac disease, and she could eat nothing! Really, it was a little distributing because once you know someone that has this, you begin to realize what it is, how it effects your body and how you eat, and just how many foods out there contain gluten or wheat proteins. It's crazy! Everything from cookies and breaded fish to noodles and stuffing! Having Celiac disease means that you cannot eat gluten or you can end up getting very sick.
We're not talking about your usual nausea and vomiting, you can actually end up in the hospital if you slip up and eat something with gluten in it. After you realize you have Celiac disease you may start wondering what you can eat - and if this means you are going to have to give up ALL your favorite foods. Well thankfully there are some things you can eat that do not contain gluten such as fresh meat, fish and shellfish, cheese, almonds, rice cakes, and eggs just to name a few. It seems like the can have list under-weighs the cant have list.
But that's okay, not only can you find foods that naturally do not have gluten in them, but you can also find websites such as ours that is a gluten free bakery. We have every Sweet you could possibly think of, and it won't make you sick, which is the most important thing! Sweets are a big one for me, so I simply cannot do without gluten free cookies, gluten free crackers or gluten free cakes. Also, available are wheat free cookies and gluten free snack products as well. So while having Celiac disease might not be the best thing in the world to have, at least you know that you have someone on your side when it comes to the things you can eat!
