Being gluten-free isn't easy. Gluten is in everything. It's in almost all processed foods, canned and packaged soups, ice creams and ice cream products, breakfast cereals, most chips, breakfast bars, pastas, and in many candies. Gluten is a cheap filler for manufactured goods, and so our family has become label readers. Sami's Gluten-free Millet and Flax Bread and Cybro's Gluten-free Rice Bread provide our family with a small feeling of freedom; the freedom most people take for granted to eat a sandwich, have French toast, or make stuffing.

We are gluten-free for two main reasons. First, my husband has celiac disease. Celiac disease affects 1 in 133 people in the United States. It is an autoimmune disorder, and when a person with celiac eats gluten, the gluten lodges itself in the villi of the small intestine. It crushes, or folds, the villi, making it impossible for the digestive tract to absorb the food and its nutrients properly. If a person with celiac disease continues to eat gluten, they will die a slow death. Eating gluten when you have celiac also increases rates of certain cancers. So goodbye, gluten, in our household.
