Gluten Free

“I want to become gluten free.” Ever since that day, I have eaten gluten free. Those words affected me in a positive way. I will never forget the life changing day, and how it happened. Of course, the day I decided to give up gluten I woke up with a stomach ache and a memory of eating pizza the night before. “Ugh, my stomach hurts what a great way to start my weekend.” I complained. In the kitchen eating breakfast my mom and I were talking. She brought up, “Maybe the gluten makes your stomach hurt and causes your headaches.” I responded “Huh, maybe.” and acted like it didn't matter. After I finished my breakfast, I researched how much better people felt when they were gluten free. “What no pizza!” I yelled “I love

  • Gluten-free: The Harm behind the Diet

    1029 Words  | 3 Pages

    Gluten is a protein found in common grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. Those affected with allergies to these foods (the most serious allergy being Celiac Disease) must follow a strict gluten-free diet in order to experience relief from their symptoms. Despite eliminating the ingestion of the allergen, gluten-free individuals begin to suffer from adverse side effects. In recent years, many Americans have begun to live an entirely gluten-free lifestyle with no medical necessity to do so. Many believe it to be a healthier diet, and even more believe it is an effective weight-loss tool. With this growing fad of adopting a gluten-free diet, under the false pretenses of varying health benefits, many Americans are exposing themselves to unnecessary health risks, over-priced and narrowly available foods, and an overall depletion of dietary needs.

  • Exposing Celiac Disease

    2123 Words  | 5 Pages

    Imagine having a life threatening disease and not even knowing it. This was the case for me. I was brought up eating healthy wheat bread and grains. Much to my surprise I would learn it was actually hurting my health. I have always had “stomach issues” and being lactose intolerant, I blamed it on that. I never thought it could be something else. Last year I learned I was anemic; soon I was lying in the hospital with a blood transfusion and wondering why. I ate extremely healthy foods and was sure I should have retained those nutrients. Once my blood work came back I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I was burning more calories than I was eating without knowing it. To top it off I had a rash on my face that seemed to never go away. Anemia, hyperthyroidism, lactose intolerance and having rashes are all symptoms of celiac, you would think after all of this a doctor would either test me or at least mention it. That was not the case. Instead, I learned of this medical condition through three-time daytime Emmy winning actor Sarah Joy Brown. Sarah J. Brown is a fellow celiac sufferer who spreads awareness of CD to her fans, friends and family through her facebook and twitter accounts. I will be forever grateful to her. Celiac disease is life threatening and more should be done to spread knowledge and awareness on the subject.

  • Gluten Free Bread Essay

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    Food advertisements, supermarket displays, and restaurant menus increasingly highlight foods, particularly bread, as being gluten-free. Gluten consists of two proteins, gliadin and glutamine, which combine and help produce light and fluffy bread (Lord, 2012). Wheat is bred for its high gluten content which serves efficiently well for all bakers and chefs. Today, gluten is becoming a problem in society since allergic reactions to the protein have increased. Bread is a worldwide staple food and gluten is a predominant aspect within the dough mixture. Gluten free bread is basically fixed as it was thousands of years ago without the fermentation of yeast and the mixture of sourdough.

  • Grain Brain Review

    Does Grain Brain actually stand the test of empirical science? After the book’s release, America went gluten free. It used to be that only those with a gluten allergy needed to be on a gluten free diet, but now it is for everyone- or is it? After reading the notes provided, I noticed there were some bad science being used to support this new fad diet. Dr. David Perlmutter talks with James Hamblin during an interview, which makes clear that there are to be holes poked in Perlmutter’s theory. Two of the problems with Perlmutter’s evidence is that he is inferring causation from correlational data and using data from small sample sizes.

    The day that changed my life. It was 7am that morning I woke up and got my black dress on with white lace at the top. I waited for my dad and brother to get ready as I waited I sat and thought to myself “how am I going to get through this today?” I never did find an answer to that question and I probably never will. I walked into the funeral home that morning, and with my family we entered the room this was the very last time I will ever get to see my grandma. She laid there as I stood there looking at her, granddaughter to grandma. She looked completely like herself mostly other than the makeup which wasn’t her at all. My grandma was apostolic which if you knew my grandma you would know she never wore make up. Not in her entire life all 94 years of it. But it was kind of relieving to see her look so peaceful she looked like herself in her handmade rose colored blouse and
