Celiac
Disease or Wheat/Gluten Intolerance effects 1 in 133 Americans...
and another figure says over 3 million Americans may have Celiac
disease which unfortunately is considerably under-diagnosed. Most
Americans who are diagnosed are of European descent and are between
the ages of 30 and 45. However anyone at any age can have the problem.
And, unfortunately it is also a genetic disease. So if your Aunt
Mary has it, chances are you might have it too. Testing is fairly
simple and involves either screening the patient's blood for antigliadin
(AGA) and endomysium antibodies (EmA), or doing a biopsy on the
areas of the lamina propria and crypt regions of their
intestines, which is still the best way to diagnose the disease.
The only acceptable treatment for Celiac Disease is strict adherence
to a 100% gluten-free diet for life. This avoidance can prevent
almost all complications caused by the disease. A gluten-free
diet means avoiding all products that contain wheat, rye and barley,
or any of their derivatives. This is a difficult task as there
are many hidden sources of gluten found in the ingredients of many
processed foods.
 "Eat @ Steve's" is
there for you - to help make people aware of this problem and to
teach you to treat your body right. You should feel positive about
what you eat, while eating delicious, easy to make comfort food
without any wheat or gluten. Even if you don't have a problem with
wheat/gluten, it's a healthier and tastier way of eating! Remember
- wheat or white flour is NOT the only good tasting flour in
the world!
Remember, moderation is the spice of
life. But, how can you eat wheat in moderation when it is in just
about EVERYTHING! "Eat @ Steve's" shows you what
foods to avoid,
and shows you tips on how to "wine and
dine." For

what you call a feel good fanatic. He's a real person who has
suffered with Wheat and Gluten Intolerance for 10 years. He's

FOR SURE. Steve's goal is to make an entree in
15 minutes or less. It's easy when you shop
smart! Steve's attitude
towards cooking is to have fun in the kitchen not be a slave
to it. Cook foods that you like, don't omit them from your diet
if you don't have to! If you love macaroni and cheese - well
now you can have it! Steve makes his with corn pasta, and it's
BETTER! Love pizza? It's easy. Just go and buy a Glutino pizza
shell, and follow Steve's cup a'
no cook sauce recipe!

Well first of all, if you're on this site, you probably
already know you have to avoid anything containing
the grain wheat and the
protein found in wheat, gluten. Gluten is
a protein found in wheat, oat, barley, rye and foods containing these
ingredients or their derivatives. You should know you can't buy bread
from a regular store, they all contain wheat, even all rye breads.
So avoid all breads unless you buy the wheat free gluten free bread
from a health food section or store, order them online, or make them
yourself from gluten free flour. For more info. on breads, click
here.
Even these foods have wheat:
Some Ice creams
Some French fries
Some White wines
Natural flavoring
Soy sauce
|
Some
Candy bars
Most meat sauces
Colas and other soft drinks
Baked Beans |
Some basic ingredients that are derived from wheat
include:
Gelatinized starch
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
Modified food starch
Modified starch |
Starch
Vegetable gum
Vegetable starch |

NO! This is a healthy alternative, for those who
have Wheat and Gluten Intolerance or Celiac. There is no quick fix
to this problem. There is no perscription drug to take for this. The
only solution is avoidance. And for complete avoidance you really have
to do your homework and think and plan ahead. Steve is trying to save
you the time and frustration and to help you live a normal healthy
life.
