Gluten-Free Stuff
Feb. 10th, 2011 11:11 amUseful Page on Being Gluten-Free While Getting Stuff You Need
Am hopefully done with being stupid for the week. Did you know Lindt chocolate truffles have barley malt in them? I didn't. And if I'd only had a couple I probably still wouldn't know, but I had a couple yesterday, and a couple the day before, and oh yes, a couple the day before that. And then we had Wild Bill's teriyaki beef jerky because we were too busy to make food like we should have, and the teriyaki has wheat in it. Blah.
So, the above page has some info on gluten, some foods that have it, may have it, and don't have it.
It also talks about celiac disease, and I'm considering that I might be a celiac sufferer, although not the most serious stuff at least. Plus, all I really have to do to recover is NO EAT FOOD WITH GLUTEN IN IT.
There's also a bit on Prebiotin, which your body needs, and which gluten foods have a lot of -- that's right, GF people miss out on that. Fortunately, there are a bunch of other foods with prebiotin in them, which the site lists. Also, you can get a GF prebiotin supplement if you want.
The page is good enough that I think I'll compile all the bits I want from it into a separate document and print it out for personal reference.
I was amused to see that Jerusalem Artichoke, a plant I got a couple of years ago from a friend, has prebiotin in it. I've been leaving it to its own devices until now, but this year there will be harvesting. Also, since it's thriving rather well, I need to move it to areas that it will find more challenging, so that it doesn't take over the garden.
Non-gardeners will be happy to know that plenty of the useful foods are easy to get at the market, and likely you've been eating some of them already.
