What’s Up With Adding Gluten to Everything?

OK, so I understand that wheat crackers, pasta, and bread made with gluten-containing flours can’t be eaten; but what’s the deal with ice cream and buckwheat? Read on, my gluten-free friend, and get the food 411 on food safety for these foods.

Buckwheat: the name itself sounds like an implication of glutenous guilt; however, contrary to its name, buckwheat is actually the ground seed of the rhubarb plant. It’s not a grain; this is flour made from a seed; therefore, this delectable, able to be eaten flour is not a grain. Buckwheat, along with amaranth and quinoa, is known as pseudograins, “pseudo,” meaning fake or false. Despite its terminology, buckwheat is totally gluten-free and safe to eat for celiacs.

Road Trips are the best way to get to know the geography around you, have the opportunity to talk to locals, and learn about new places along the way. I've found many different museums, parks, and cool non-touristy off-the-radar areas I wouldn't have noticed if I had not taken a road trip.

Road Trips are Economical

The great thing about road trippin' is that you can easily fall within your budget when you aren't flying or renting a car. Flying and car rentals can be significant expenses on your trip. Consider, too, that you can bring as many foods, drinks, and snacks that your car space allows. Bringing your own food also substantially lowers the expense of your trip by reducing the amount of eating out.

Whether you are celiac, gluten-intolerant, have acquired Hashimoto’s or another autoimmune disorder, your doctor may have told you to stay off of gluten. The fact is, the protein in gluten really pokes at your immune system. You may be wondering how your grandparents and great-grandparents ate as much gluten as we did and they were perfectly fine.

The fact is, our grandparents not only ate a different type of gluten, but they ate much less gluten.

Modern Day Processed Gluten

Today, with the modern miracle of science, we have figured out ways to process foods which are foreign to our food supply and our evolution. Did you know that our hybridized gluten has introduced five different gluten proteins into our diet which weren’t eaten previously? This creates a host of proteins which are foreign to our digestive and immune system. What does our body do? Our bodies are made to fight off foreign proteins, such as those found in our new hybridized gluten, along with bacteria and other invasive microscopic flora and fauna.
