I hope you can find a favorite glutenless-rhubarb-recipe here that will satisfy

For most who are visiting this page, you obviously will know what this is all
about already. For those who don't quite understand what it means to hear the
words gluten-free and why it is so critical to many people, read on. You may
have a family member or friend who has to stay away from gluten and it could prove
beneficial for you to understand why.
Gluten is a protein that is found in barley, rye and wheat. It is a substance that
is prevalent in many everyday products too like vitamins, medicines and even adhesive
materials.
Gluten is not tolerated by those people with celiac disease.
This is a digestive
disease that interferes with the ability of the small intestine to absorb nutrients
from the food that we eat. When gluten is consumed, the immune system attacks the
small intestine by damaging or destroying the villi that lines the intestine.
The villi that line the intestine are long protrusions that allow food nutrients to
enter and be absorbed by the bloodstream. Without healthy villi, a person can
become malnourished no matter how much food they consume. The nutrients have no way of
getting to the bloodstream. And so, it becomes very important to keep the villi
in a healthy state in order to function properly. If gluten destroys villi, then it
must be deleted from your diet.
There is so much more to know regarding this condition, but that is for someone else
with a much higher level of knowledge and expertise to discuss.

A gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac-disease or "celiac sprue" as it is also known.
It is a challenge and requires an adjustment to eating habits. With this means becoming
educated in learning how to read labels, learning to recognize everyday ingredients that
are ok to use or not to use, and even learning how to question a list of items on a menu
while out having dinner.
A Dietician or Health Care Professional specializing in this area will teach how to
identify foods and decipher ingredient lists that contain gluten. This is so important
as many sources of gluten are hidden.
Thankfully, there are many gluten-free products available on the market and found in
regular food stores in addition to stores that carry organic foods.
And so, you can enjoy the fruits of your labour from your rhubarb garden.
