This dietwhich is mainly aimed at children suffering from celiac disease (click on this word to see the links relating to it) is particularly restrictive.

In fact, it does not tolerate any hitch and its implementation is not the easiest given the number of usual basic foods which must be completely eliminated from the sick child’s menus.

In this regard, we strongly advise all those who have to face this problem of culinary preparation to always have at hand the excellent work selected at the bottom of this page: Naturally gluten freea book that will allow them to easily make nearly 150 delicious, perfectly adapted recipes – which is particularly important for a small child subject to such a restrictive diet.

We remind you that gluten is an amorphous protein who is combined with starch in the endosperm of many cereals (especially in wheat – which constitutes an important basis of our Western diet – where gluten represents around 80% of proteins in the form of gliadins and glutenins).

The gluten-free diet is based on total exclusion of certain cereals – and all food products which contain them – namely: wheat and its various neighboring varieties (spelt, kamut, triticale, etc.), ryel’barley and theoats.
