Three years ago, our little girl complained of stomach pain after eating. At one point, after returning from a trip, that evening she had very severe stomach pains.
The next day at the doctor’s, and then at the blood sampling for analysis, abnormal – very high – antibody values were discovered. After a week, endoscopic digestive biopsy, the result was that our little girl has celiac disease.
And immediately, the transition to the diet began. One of us parents, working in the medical field, quickly understood that it would be like this for the rest of her life, with a gluten-free diet. The transition to the diet was not easy, the girl being 9 years old, but there was no other solution. The mother started looking for gluten-free products and saw that the prices were not negligible at all. She had experience in cooking and looked for products that could mainly replace wheat flour. In almost three years, numerous recipes have appeared, some of which remain basic in the diet. It should not be forgotten that the girl’s mother also discovered that she was gluten intolerant, so they both suffered.
This blog appeared out of the desire to show that even those who have celiac disease or are intolerant to gluten, can have an even healthier diet than most.
Living in Belgium, some of the products used to prepare the recipes can only be found on the European market, but you can easily find other brands as alternatives, so all you have to do is look for the recipes that are accessible to you and get to work!
