What is Gluten?!


Question:

What is Gluten?

My daughter-in-law is allergic to gluten, where can she find reciepes that are gluten free and taste good


Answers:

Hi. Gluten is a protein in wheat, rye and barley. (It is not actually IN oats but because of cross contamination, ppl avoid oats also.)
I am assuming she has Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance bc rarely are ppl actually allergic to gluten (they are more often allergic to wheat.) But Celiac is a highly common autoimmune disease in which the person cannot digest gluten. I dont know if I understand the other answerer's answer but if you have Celiac, you absolutely CANNOT EAT GLUTEN. NO NO NO NO. ABSOULTEY NOT. She also must be watchful of lipsticks, some lotions and what not, beauty products she could ingest or lick off her lips.

Here are some great sites with more info and recipes for the gltuen free lifestyle. Also feel free to email meprivately for more info.
