This video shows you how to create a grit-free, gluten-free chocolate cake from 100% rice flour. I actually made two versions of the cake during this video because I found a mistake in my first recipe. So, the download from my website has been corrected. But you can see how moist the cake turns out. The cake will stay moist for days.

In this 5-minute interview Dr. Anupama Kewalramani, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and a pediatric food allergy expert, discusses food allergies and food intolerance in children. She outlines the causes of food allergies and ways to test for them, including skin testing. She also discusses the comprehensive services the University of Maryland Hospital for Children offers to children with food allergies and their parents.

My symptoms of bloating,indigestion, heartburn (more) have improved since I have been gluten free after Xmas.
I had a few beers last night(coors light) and I am fine today. I found out Coors is wheat free but not gluten free.

There’s a chance that the problem is just wheat, but it is more likely that is with gluten. The amount of gluten in the beer may just have been small enough that it did not cause an obvious reaction.

If you have not been tested for gluten intolerance, it would be smart to go talk to a gastroenterologist who specializes in gluten sensitivity right away. Once you have been on a gluten-free diet for a while, it becomes impossible to use the normal tests to get a medical diagnosis. And that diagnosis can make things much, much easier for you and can be very important for your health in the long run.

So what is wheat/gluten intolerance?

A small percent of the population is allergic to wheat (and is fine when eating other sources of gluten). In an allergy, the body mounts an immune response against a harmless substance, like wheat or pet dander. A wheat allergy is more likely to come with typical allergic symptoms, like asthma, swelling, eczema, difficulty breathing/swallowing, rash/hives, and anaphylactic shock. And the symptoms are more likely to start sooner than those of an intolerance.

About one percent of the population has celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disease. When they eat gluten, it triggers an immune response in which the body attacks itself, eventually destroying the villi of the intestines and making it difficult or impossible for you to absorb the nutrients you need. Fortunately, a very strict gluten free diet almost always leads to a complete recovery. However, in rare cases, it can leave permanent nerve damage. Celiac disease can also lead to many other debilitating and even deadly conditions, from other autoimmune diseases to cancer. (And this is why even if you have no obvious symptoms, a celiac should never cheat on the gluten free diet. It harms the body in serious ways, even without symptoms).

About 12 percent of the population has elevated antibodies in their blood that indicate some form of immune/allergic response to eating gluten, but do not have the classic damage to the intestines that doctors in the U.S. use to define celiac disease. Some of these people (and even some who have negative blood tests) also have severe and wide-ranging symptoms similar to celiac disease. A recent study showed that even without the damaged villi of (the so-called "gold standard" for) celiac disease and even without symptoms, those who have these elevated antibodies to gluten still are more likely to die than the general population if they do not maintain a gluten free diet.

Beyond that, some medical practitioners (many alternative and whole health practitioners as well as some specialists) think that a much higher percent of the population (a few on the outskirts would say everyone) have negative health impacts (ranging from digestive problems to fatigue) from eating gluten. Grains are very hard to digest to begin with, and over time, through selective breeding in the agricultural industry, the gluten content in the grains we eat has grown, making them ever harder to digest and causing increasing negative reactions and problems in our bodies. (The incidence of celiac disease is much higher than it was just 50 years ago.) This idea that gluten affects a large percent of the population is often considered a far outfield idea. But almost everyone agrees that more research is needed to understand the full spectrum of gluten sensitivity; the doctors who study it believe that celiac disease is only the tip of the gluten syndrome iceburg. And most doctors would agree that if not eating gluten (or just wheat) makes you feel better, then don’t eat gluten (or wheat). Elimination diets are common for many disorders.

Because gluten sensitivity is a systemic response, it can be very hard to diagnose on symptoms alone. There are 200-300 different symptoms that can be caused by gluten sensitivity. They range from
–digestive issues (diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, reflux, weight gain, weight loss, bloating, abdominal pain…);
–to mental health issues (depression, anxiety, mood swings, behavior problems…);
–to inflammation issues (aching joints, bones, muscles, increased asthma…);
–to neurological issues (migraines, vertigo, tingling, numbness, weird sensations…);
–to a wide variety of malnutrition-related and other issues (fatigue, brain fog, canker sores, osteoporosis, infertility, enamel problems, missed periods, painful periods, night sweats, thyroid problems, frequent infections…)

Here are my gluten free finds of the week, these are brand products that can be found at most supermarkets or online, you can check out my blog for links to these products if you are interested. These products can be used by people with celiac disease, those on a gluten diet or those with a gluten allergy.
