Celiac Disease

A segment of our society which has largely been ignored until just recently is the population suffering from Celiac disease. There are other segments of our society that have other gastric problems such as Crohns Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome also known as IBS but that will be the subject of a later blog. Celiac disease strikes persons who are intolerant of Wheat, Rye, Oat and Barley gluten. Gluten is a plant protein found mainly in wheat, which imparts the properties of elasticity to dough. The majority of gluten is found in wheat, however it is also present in rye, oats and barley. Corn, rice, potatoes and legumes are considered low gluten and become the primary flours used for people who cannot tolerate gluten. The line of products that we carry both at http://www.myhealthmanagement.com/ and http://www.bariatricfoodproducts.com/ is very friendly to those that suffer from Celiac disease and tends to make their life easier by offering them a host of products that heretofore were unavailable or unknown to them.

The following products DO NOT Contain Wheat, Rye, Oats or Barley:

Creamy Chocolate Shake Mix, Creamy Vanilla Shake Mix, Island Fruit Smoothie Shake Mix, Vanilla Creme Instant Pudding, Double Chocolate Instant Pudding, Lemon Chiffon Instant Pudding, Dulce de Leche Caramel Pudding, Custard Creme with Toffee Bits and Chocolate Marshmallow Pudding.
