Gluten-Free Recipes with Carbohydrates For Celiacs

If you are celiac, you will already be aware of how difficult it is to find recipes that adapt to your needs and that do not include gluten in their ingredients.

Gluten is not only present in wheat but also in other cereals. However, it is common to name wheat first, given that it is the most commonly used cereal.

Aitor Sánchez García , author of My diet limps and expert in Nutrition and Diet, explains that gluten is a protein mesh that is not only present in wheat (and some of its varieties), but also in barley and rye. Therefore, it is not a protein as such, but rather the union of two different proteins that appear in these cereals (which are glutenins and gliadins).

When you need to follow a gluten-free diet, it is necessary to be clear about this concept and, in addition, know what type of preparations can be used and which should be avoided, to avoid annoying symptoms.

Recipes with carbohydrates are usually one of the main concerns of patients. However, they should not worry: it is possible to consume carbohydrates safely, through certain recipes.

Maintaining good  eating habits and following the doctor’s instructions is essential to enjoy well-being, regardless of the condition that has been diagnosed.

Carbohydrates are a source of energy

Despite their bad reputation, carbohydrates are part of the substances that provide energy to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate them into the diet, in a balanced way.

The problem comes when they accumulate in the body, since it is difficult to get rid of that overload. Part of certain diseases, such as obesity, or different heart diseases, linked to a sedentary lifestyle, are closely linked to excessive consumption of carbohydrates.

However, without carbohydrates it would not be easy for us to supply ourselves with energy, and it would be more difficult for cells to carry out their functions . Therefore, use your ingenuity and spend some time creating these new and ideal gluten-free and carbohydrate-free recipes.ADVERTISING
