Why treat Celiac Disease (CD) with a gluten-free diet?
Celiac Disease (CD) is a genetic disease of the small intestine occurring in children as well as adults. Gluten, the protein component of wheat, barley and rye damages the surface of the small intestine resulting in malabsorption of nutrients, and causing a toxic reaction in the individual. Removing gluten from the diet is the only way to treat CD. This allows the small intestine to heal, thus improving health. Strict adherence to this gluten-free diet is a lifelong requirement, without exception. Having a gluten-free diet does not mean you have to eat bland baked goods and pastas. At Foods By George we make gluten-free foods without compromising the taste.
