Gluten-Free Shopping Guide

Gluten-Free diets are becoming much more common than they were just 10 years ago. If you are unfamiliar with gluten, it is a sticky protein that is found in wheat, barley and certain other grains.

Many people are allergic to gluten or can not eat it at all because they suffer from celiac disease. Having celiac disease means that your body cannot digest gluten and causes an autoimmune response that damages the small intestine. This will cause the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications.

A problem that many have who cannot eat gluten is they do not know where to shop for gluten-free foods. A Michigan company called Cecelia's Marketplace has come to the rescue. They have written a series of books with the most popular being the Gluten Free Grocery Shoppers Guide. This book helps you to find nearly any kind of grocery item at any grocery store that is gluten-free.

Imagine how much that will help. No more label reading and hoping that your food is not gluten contaminated. The Gluten Free Grocery Shoppers Guide takes the guesswork out of grocery shopping.
