A Guide for Foodies with Celiac Disease

Celiac patients know all too well what they can and cannot eat. But, this doesn't mean that they are without any options! As the gluten-free diet is on the rise, there is an impressive amount of recipes, products, and ingredients that will make a delicious meal. 

Gluten can be found in a wide variety of products in everyone's grocery cart. It can even be found in cosmetic products. While celiac disease doesn't yet have a cure, more organizations and companies are raising awareness and developing gluten-free alternatives to your favorite foods.

However, celiac patients need to navigate through this gluten-free market

While patients have more options than they did before, there are still a few challenges that patients need to overcome. Sometimes, there will be companies who claim to be gluten-free, when they aren't. And, there is always a risk of contamination in restaurants who serve food with gluten, and companies who also work with gluten-packed products. Also some patients are more sensitive than others with how much gluten they can actually eat. 

The growing market of options, however, does increase the solutions for celiac patients. When they have lacked creative recipes and products, now celiac patients do not have to go too far to spice up their dinner. Whether it's online or through the "Gluten-free food" filter on Google maps, patients can find different restaurants and stores with great gluten-free food.

Read on for a full-on guide for celiac patients, who are not only gluten-free, but also foodies.
