Publisher's Synopsis
Do you want to go gluten-free but don't know where to begin? Are you already on a gluten-free diet but finding it difficult to stick to?
It's hard, right? Gluten is present in many products these days; the list is endless. Eliminating gluten from your diet appears to be an impossible task.
However, it is entirely possible. You'll be well on your way to maintaining a gluten-free diet with the help of this book.
Gluten is a protein complex found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. (Other grains like corn and rice contain different proteins that do not include gluten.) It helps give the dough its sticky, elastic quality, making baked goods like bread, pizza, and bagels soft and chewy. Because of those qualities, gluten is often used in products you wouldn't expect to find wheat, like soups, sauces, processed meats, and cheeses.
Most people have no issues eating gluten, but for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or gluten allergies, eating a slice of bread can feel like drinking poison. You probably feel a little overwhelmed if you've just learned you can't eat gluten. As if giving up bread wasn't enough, now you must figure out if there's gluten in your salad dressing. You'll find, though, that with some education and time to learn the ropes, you'll be well on your way to eating a gluten-free diet.
