Celiac Disease Dilemma

Since celiac disease prevents the intestine from absorbing nutrients, I’m wondering if I need vitamin shots. My son, age 12, and daughter, age 17, also have celiac disease.

Genetic Study on Oats Reveal Why the Grain is Suitable for Gluten-Free Diets

The Edith Cowan University’s (ECU) genetic study on oats has shown why oats could be the answer for most people with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance. “We discovered that oats have fewer of the proteins that correspond to gluten in wheat, causing an immune reaction from people with coeliac disease,” said ECU Prof. Michelle Colgrave…


Have You Ever Heard of This Healthy Alternative to Flour?

Have you ever heard of breadfruit? It’s a rather strange name for a piece of fruit that sounds like it may smell or taste like bread.
