My Doctor Has Put Me on a Gluten-Free Diet…Now What

A gluten-free diet is one that prohibits the intake of the protein known as gluten.  Gluten is found in grains including wheat, barley and rye.  A gluten free diet is used to treat those with celiac disease, where it causes inflammation in the small intestine.  About 1% of the population suffers from celiac disease.

In the past celiac was only diagnosed through the process of elimination of certain foods.  Now a simple blood test can detect celiac with a follow-up biopsy of the small intestine.

A related condition called gluten sensitivity or non-celiac gluten sensitivity can generate symptoms similar to celiac disease but without the intestinal damage.  Before making the decision to go on a gluten-free diet, check with your doctor.

Whether you suffer from celiac disease, or your physician has simply suggested it for sensitivity issues, Global Meals offers gluten-free options delivered to your home.

Global Meals offers a variety of gluten-free meals made from scratch for our customers with a diet that restricts gluten, wheat or related grains.  Our gluten-free meals are tested to meet FDA requirements of less that 20ppm of gluten per meal.  Without sacrificing the taste, you can enjoy these meals even if you have high sensitivity.
