Going gluten free...it's dismissed by some as the next big diet fad, a silly craze that will go by the wayside soon. But for many people, this diet change radically effects their health.
Gluten sensitivity comes in varying degrees and can cause dramatically different symptoms in different people, which makes it difficult to diagnose. Rather than go through the discomfort of testing, simply eliminating gluten is a relatively inexpensive way to see if this change can help your health. For people who have recently been diagnosed with Celiac or something similar, the mountain of information can be overwhelming, and keep them from getting well as quickly as they could.
I have been doing a gluten free diet for my 5 year old daughter since she was 15 months, and I have also been gluten free since March of 2007. In spite of the difficulties associated with a restricted diet, I happily choose this lifestyle over the symptoms I experience when I eat gluten. My hope is that this class will give you the confidence to try a gluten free diet if you're curious about it, or to approach a new Celiac diagnosis with a positive attitude and enough information to shorten your learning curve.
Initially, classes are just $25 and will include 1-2 hours of class time in my house east of Colorado Springs. We will cover the basics of what gluten is, what contains it, how to avoid getting trace amounts of it (cross-contamination), a few recipe ideas, and a question and answer time. You will receive a spiral-bound booklet of resources to take with you. A $10 deposit will reserve your place in the class. For more information, please mail sarakay [at] gmail.com
