Have you hear about Celiac Desease?

I didn’t know about it until one my close friends strsted to talk about it and how it has affected her family. The little I know is that this is a digestive and autoinnmune disorder that results in damage to the lining of the small intestine when foods with gluten are eaten. (Gluten is a form of protein found in some grains).

With Celiac Awareness Month coming up (May) and gluten-free diets on the rise, I put together an assortment of gluten-free snacks perfect for the whole family to enjoy.

May is Celiac Awareness Month so it’s about time to start raising awareness about this disease all year round. And the best Gluten-free snacks for the entire family.

Celiac Disease symptoms:

According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, common symptoms in children may include:

• abdominal bloating and pain

For Adults the symptoms for Celiac Disease look as follows

• unexplained iron-deficiency anemia
• fatigue
• bone or joint pain
• arthritis
• osteoporosis or osteopenia (bone loss)
• liver and biliary tract disorders (transaminitis, fatty liver, primary sclerosing cholangitis, etc.)

• seizures or migraines
• missed menstrual periods
• infertility or recurrent miscarriage
• canker sores inside the mouth
• dermatitis herpetiformis (itchy skin rash)

With so many gluten-free diets right now, I thought of putting together a short and sweet gluten-free snack selection. Just because I have a very, very sweet tooth and the candy is always following… lol
