What is Celiac Disease?
There are many symptoms of celiac disease that include: weight loss, abdominal cramping/swelling/bloating, constipation, vomiting, muscle cramps and fatigue.
The best way to be diagnosed is to see your family doctor. They will review your symptoms and more than likely send you for a simple blood test that will check for antibodies related to celiac disease. If you are diagnosed with celiac disease following a gluten free diet is essential.
Gluten intolerance is similar more so to lactose intolerance. The individual will experience similar symptoms but the antibodies are not present. Sometimes preparing a food diary is helpful to keep track of your health symptoms and as you eliminate (under the full guidance of your family doctor and if possible a dietitian!) gluten out of your diet you can see if this is working for you. I found this to be helpful for myself to pin point where I was developing symptoms and how/if they were alleviated by removing certain foods out of my diet.
Check out some of these helpful tips from UDI’s on how to deal with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
Are you or do you know someone who is suffering with Celiac disease? Do they struggle with this diet?

Toronto Gluten Free Expo 2013
Here are a few of the shots I was able to capture on Sunday.
My favourite product of the day had to be the Glutino baked potato crisps! Everyone in my family loved them and could not believe they were gluten free! They taste so much better than other baked crisps I have ever tried.
