There are two different types of diabetes. Type I and Type II. Type I Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and very young adults. Type I Diabetes differs from Type II in that a person with Type I Diabetes does not produce insulin at all. Insulin is needed to take sugar from the blood into the cells. Type I diabetes used to be called Juvenile Diabetes as it was diagnosed in children at early ages. The symptoms of Type I and Type II Diabetes are very similar. Frequent urination, frequent thirst, excessive hunger are three of the most common symptoms.

Treatment involves monitoring blood sugar levels, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and potentially taking insulin or oral medication. The articles provide tips for managing diabetes through diet, exercise, testing blood sugar levels, and seeing a doctor regularly.
This document discusses factors that determine health and provides recommendations for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It states that 70% of health is determined by lifestyle and nutrition, 15% by genetic makeup, and 15% by access to medical services. It identifies fruits, vegetables, grains, water, and juice as healthy foods and sweets, chips, pizza, soda, and coffee as unhealthy. The document recommends chewing food well, eating slowly, avoiding screens during meals, saying no to unhealthy foods, taking care of one's body, acquiring healthy habits, and enjoying life.
Junk food refers to highly processed foods that are high in calories from sugar or fat but low in nutrients. Common junk foods include french fries, pizza, burgers, soda, chips, and cake. Consuming junk food can lead to a number of health issues like fatigue, depression, digestive issues, blood sugar fluctuations, brain function problems, heart disease, kidney disease, liver damage, diabetes, and increased risk of cancer. The document encourages people to avoid junk food and adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle for long-term well-being.
Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly process glucose due to a lack of insulin or insulin resistance. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 occurs most often in children/young adults and is caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells, while type 2 accounts for 90-95% of cases and is associated with obesity and physical inactivity. Symptoms can include blurred vision, fatigue, frequent urination, and weight loss. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and sometimes insulin or other medications to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Good control is important to avoid damage to organs and tissues.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of being used for energy. There is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes, and it is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and extreme tiredness. Treatment requires lifelong insulin injections via multiple daily injections or an insulin pump.
CD is an autoimmune disease where ingesting gluten damages finger-like projections (villi) in the small intestine, preventing nutrient absorption. It affects people genetically susceptible and is diagnosed through blood tests detecting antibodies and intestinal biopsies. Managing CD requires a strict lifelong gluten-free diet to avoid symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. While there is no cure, following the diet can control the disease.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye that allows dough to rise and gives bread its chewy texture. While most people can tolerate gluten, it can cause issues for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the small intestine in response to gluten. Going gluten-free is important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but unnecessary avoidance may deprive people of fiber, vitamins, and nutrients while increasing risks like diabetes, weight gain, and nutrient deficiencies.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye that allows dough to rise and gives bread its chewy texture. While most people can tolerate gluten, it can cause issues for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the small intestine in response to gluten. Going gluten-free is important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but unnecessary avoidance may deprive people of fiber, vitamins, and nutrients while increasing risks like diabetes, weight gain, and nutrient deficiencies.
The document discusses the gluten-free diet trend and misunderstandings around gluten. While a gluten-free diet is important for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, it is often unnecessary for most people. Fad diets promising quick weight loss through elimination of gluten are misleading as gluten-free products often contain more fat and sugar. A gluten-free diet can also lack important nutrients if not properly managed with a dietician's guidance. Moderation is best for health and weight management rather than elimination of food groups without reason.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten that affects the small intestine and prevents nutrient absorption. It causes the intestinal villi to become damaged or flattened. Symptoms vary but include diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. It is estimated that 2-3 million Americans have undiagnosed celiac disease. Treatment requires a strict gluten-free diet for life, as gluten will cause the villi to become damaged again. While there is no cure, following the diet closely can control the disease and allow the villi to heal over time.
In 2008, Lara Field founded FEED – Forming Early Eating Decisions (FEED KIDS, LLC), a nutrition counseling practice.
Field has always had a passion for kids’ nutrition. She has over a decade of experience in clinical practice at two of the top ranked pediatric hospitals in the country, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (formerly Children’s Memorial Hospital) and University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital. She has specialized in pediatric nutritional care including the pediatric intensive care unit and pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology clinics.
Celiac disease is a digestive disease where people cannot tolerate gluten, which damages the small intestine and prevents nutrient absorption. Symptoms vary but include abdominal issues and can also affect other parts of the body. It is treated through a strict lifelong gluten-free diet to heal the intestine and prevent further damage and complications. Proper management requires eliminating all gluten sources and working with a dietitian given the many foods that contain gluten.

1) Around 1 in 7 people in the US are estimated to be allergic or sensitive to gluten, which are proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten gives flour its elasticity and is commonly found in many foods.
2) Gluten sensitivity, intolerance, and Celiac disease are variations of the same illness caused by an immune response to gluten, ranging from mild to severe damage of the intestinal villi responsible for nutrient absorption.
3) Symptoms of gluten issues can include digestive problems but also many non-digestive problems affecting various body systems. Early diagnosis and a gluten-free diet are important for treatment.
Most people don’t like to talk about it, but having a gastrointestinal problem is common.
There’s no need to suffer in silence, though. Here’s a top-to-bottom look at nine of the most prevalent digestive conditions, symptoms, and the most effective treatments available. If you suspect you have one of these issues, don't delay speaking with a healthcare professional.
Here are the key points I would cover in our appointment:
- Explain that self-diagnosing and going gluten-free without proper testing could lead to missed celiac disease diagnosis. Recommend serologic testing first.
- Discuss the difference between celiac disease, NCGS, IBS and discuss his specific symptoms to determine if gluten sensitivity is likely.
- Explain risks of gluten-free without medical need like nutritional deficiencies. Develop a plan with adequate substitutes if he does try gluten-free.
- Manage expectations that gluten-free may not solve all stomach issues as other food triggers are possible. Consider an elimination diet under medical supervision.
The goal would be to determine if
This document discusses nutrition considerations for patients with gluten sensitivity. It defines gluten and lists common food sources. It describes celiac disease as an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that affects nutrient absorption. For non-celiac gluten sensitivity, symptoms are less severe and not accompanied by autoimmune markers, but are still alleviated by a gluten-free diet. The document recommends a gluten-free diet for managing both conditions to prevent complications and maximize nutrient absorption.
The document describes the CD-DIET research study which aims to screen people with type 1 diabetes for celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that can cause intestinal damage and nutrient deficiencies. The study offers blood tests to diagnose celiac disease in people with diabetes aged 8-45 who have not been recently tested. For those diagnosed, the study will assess the impact of a gluten-free diet over one year. The goals are to improve understanding of managing both conditions and ensure accurate diagnosis of celiac disease in the diabetes population.
This presentation teaches you what you need to know to solve the puzzle of gluten sensitivity. It draws clear differences between Type 1 and Type 2 gluten sensitivity, and shows how a gluten-free trial can play a useful role in diagnosis in cases where the scientific evidence is unclear.
Going Gluten-Free: Celiac Disease vs. Gluten SensitivityAli Ghahary
Before you decide to go gluten-free as part of your dietary plan, it is important to know about the common misconceptions that surround gluten-free diets, in addition to the great benefits.
This document discusses gluten and the gluten-free diet. It begins by asking why celebrities and others are going gluten-free. It then explains that the gluten-free population is small, consisting of those with celiac disease (0.7-1% of people) and gluten sensitivity (0.05-13% of people). It defines celiac disease as an autoimmune disorder caused by ingesting gluten. Gluten is defined as a protein found in grains like wheat that forms dough. The document cautions that a gluten-free diet needs to be nutritious and should only be undertaken by those who require it, like people with celiac disease.
Coeliac disease affects approximately one in 70 Australians and is an immune reaction to gluten that damages the small intestine. A lifelong gluten-free diet is currently the only treatment. The president of Coeliac Australia discusses the increasing rates of diagnosis, which may be due to both better awareness and a true rise in cases potentially linked to environmental factors. Independent retailers can help by becoming educated on coeliac disease, stocking gluten-free products with the Coeliac Australia endorsement, and avoiding treating gluten-free options as a fad.
Ashley was diagnosed with celiac disease after experiencing severe weight loss and bowel pain. Testing revealed damage to her small intestine from an immune response to gluten. Celiac disease affects the digestive system by triggering this immune response from gluten. While there is no cure, following a strict gluten-free diet can effectively manage symptoms and prevent complications like malnutrition and osteoporosis. Clinical trials are researching potential treatments like vaccines to desensitize patients to gluten.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley that gives baked goods their structure. While over 10% of consumers say they avoid gluten, only about 1% have celiac disease or a medical need to avoid gluten. There is no evidence that a gluten-free diet provides health benefits for those without celiac disease or a medical reason to avoid gluten.

Celiac Disease (CD)
A chronic, inherited digestive disease that can lead to malnutrition if untreated, CD results from the immune
system response to gluten that damages the small intestine. When the small intestine is damaged, nutrients
pass through it, rather than getting absorbed. To develop CD, you must inherit a gene and be consuming
gluten, and the disease must be activated; triggers include stress or trauma such as surgery. The disease is
permanent; damage to the small intestine will occur every time you consume gluten, regardless if symptoms
are present.
Symptoms
Effects can range from no symptoms to any combination of the following:
Diagnosis
Common misdiagnoses include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), spastic colon/bowel, and Crohn’s disease. To
find out if you have CD, your physician will order a Celiac Diagnostic Blood Panel, a test that reveals whether
you have elevated levels of certain autoantibodies—proteins that react against the body’s own cells or
tissues. Test results will determine whether you need additional testing. A positive small intestine biopsy
(showing damaged villi) is the “gold standard” for a CD diagnosis.
Treatment
The only known and effective treatment is lifelong elimination of gluten.
What is gluten?
Gluten is the common name for
proteins in specific grains. These
proteins are found in all forms of
wheat (including durum, semolina,
spelt, Kamut® khorasan wheat,
einkorn, and faro) and related
grains, rye and barley.
A gluten-free diet is free from
these grains and any foods or
ingredients derived from them.
This includes the obvious breads,
pastas, and baked goods made
with gluten-containing flours, but
may also include unexpected foods
such as sauces, salad dressings,
soups, and other processed foods.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)
If you experience distress when eating gluten-containing products and show
improvement when following a gluten-free diet, you may have NCGS. People with
NCGS are unable to tolerate gluten and develop an adverse reaction when they eat
it. Though it hasn’t been well researched, significant clinical
evidence supports the existence of this condition. In early
2012, an international group of recognized celiac disease
experts classified NCGS as a distinct condition.
Symptoms
NCGS symptoms may resemble those associated with CD.
However, with NCGS there is no indication that gluten
causes the same type of intestinal damage that it does in CD.
Diagnosis
There are no agreed-upon medical tests that can confirm
NCGS. Rule out celiac disease and wheat allergy. Then, if
removing gluten relieves your symptoms, you may have NCGS.
Treatment
Although there are currently no scientific studies that support
specific treatment for NCGS, many people find that a gluten-free
diet dramatically improves their health. Consult an expert in CD and
NCGS for dietary guidelines.
It’s estimated that
NCGS affects up to
sixtoseven
times more people
than CD does.

Low-intake nutrients
Unlike traditional grain products, very few
gluten-free grain products are enriched with
vitamins and minerals, potentially resulting in
deficiencies. Eat these foods to help you get
enough of these important nutrients.
Folate: Green leafy vegetables (spinach,
romaine lettuce, turnip greens), asparagus,
lentils, beets, broccoli
Iron: All types of meat, lentils, soybeans, tofu
Magnesium: Green leafy vegetables (spinach,
Swiss chard), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds,
black bean
Niacin: Mushrooms, avocados, broccoli, tuna,
salmon, chicken breast
Riboflavin: Mushrooms, cooked spinach, soybeans
Thiamin: Sunflower seeds, black beans, tuna,
green peas, lentils
Celiac disease linked to weak bones
Children with celiac disease may be at risk for lower bone mineral
density, according to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
which found poor absorption of bone-boosting vitamins D and K
in children with the autoimmune disorder. Before cutting out
gluten, 43 percent of children had suboptimal vitamin D levels,
which decreased to about 20 percent after a year of going GF.
Twenty-five percent had suboptimal vitamin K levels to start, and
all but one returned to normal vitamin K levels after a year
following a GF diet. Past findings also indicate that adults with
celiac disease have a high risk of bone disease, too. Discuss the
possibility of supplementing with your healthcare provider.
Common nutrient deficiencies
Poorly absorbed nutrients
Damage to your small intestine
from celiac disease may impair
absorption of the above nutrients,
as well as the following ones, so
focusing on these foods can help
you get more of these nutrients.
Vitamin A: Green leafy vegetables
(spinach, turnip greens), sweet
potatoes, carrots, red bell peppers
Vitamin B12: All types of meat and
fish, eggs
Vitamin E: Green leafy vegetables
(spinach, mustard greens, turnip
greens), sunflower seeds, almonds,
hazelnuts
Vitamin K: Green leafy vegetables
(kale, spinach, Swiss chard, collard
greens), broccoli, Brussels sprouts

1
Omit obvious gluten-containing foods from your diet, such
as cereals, breads, and pasta. Try eggs, cream of rice, or fruit
for breakfast. Substitute rice cakes, rice, potatoes, or corn
tortillas for breads and pastas. Have sherbet or fruit for dessert.
Use vinegar and oil on salads instead of premade, bottled dress-
ings. Drink milk, 100 percent fruit juice, coffee, or teas.
2
Read food labels for less-obvious sources of gluten and learn
what to watch out for. Avoid anything you think is suspect.
Be patient as you learn the terminology and look at food and
food preparation in a new way. To remain positive and focused, stay
connected with someone at a local GIG support group.
3
Try calling or writing to a food manufacturer. In doing this,
make sure you use the proper terms and be very specific in
what you are asking.
4
Look at products you may have never thought of as
containing gluten: medicines, chewing gum, and toothpaste.
Consider cross-contamination issues such as sharing toasters
and foods like mayonnaise, margarine, and jam that may get
contaminated through use.
5
Explore new foods that are naturally gluten-free. There are
many gluten-free grains you may not have tried before, like
sorghum, quinoa, teff, and buckwheat. Often when some
doors close, others open. Look at your gluten-free diet as an
opportunity to discover new healthy foods and exotic cuisines.

Looking for wheat
Finding wheat on food labels has become
much easier since the Food Allergen
Labeling and Consumer Protection Act
(FALCPA) became law in 2004. It requires
that the top 8 allergens, including wheat,
be clearly identified on labels. Now even
derivatives of wheat such as “modified
food starch” must clearly indicate that
“wheat” is the source. “Wheat” either
appears in parentheses in the ingredient
list or in a separate “Contains” statement.

How to be nutritiously gluten-free
When newly diagnosed with CD or gluten sensitivity, your first reaction might be to replace foods like
muffins, bagels, and pizza with their gluten-free counterparts. But remember that some of the health-
iest, most nutrient-dense foods are naturally gluten-free: fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meats, low-fat
dairy, beans, seeds, and nuts. Simple, real-food combinations like caramelized squash with coconut,
kale sautéed with garlic, figs stuffed with lavender goat cheese, roasted cauliflower, and avocados
mashed with cilantro and lime juice are all delicious, bursting with nutrients, and, yes, gluten-free. In
other words, don’t just focus on gluten-free; focus on flavor and health, too.
When you do buy packaged foods, think twice before choosing processed foods that substitute white-
rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, or corn for wheat (and pack in sugar and salt for flavor). For
bread, cereal, snacks, pasta, and other goods that would traditionally contain gluten, look for those
made with more wholesome flours such as amaranth, teff, quinoa, and millet, as well as other healthful
ingredients, including ground flaxseed, hemp seed, chia, and nuts.

Tips for dining out
Gluten-free diligence is paramount when eating out or attending
dinner parties. Here are some pointers.
Call ahead.
When you’re not in the mood to cook, phone your chosen restaurant
and talk with the manager or chef (not the host or hostess). The best time
to do this is midmorning or midafternoon, when they’re less busy.
Choose cuisines wisely.
Some cuisines tend to be gluten-free more often than others. Mexican food, for example, emphasizes
beans, meats, corn, rice, avocados, and other fresh produce. Indian food is another good option to explore.
Some Asian dishes are fine, but many are doused in gluten-containing soy sauce.
Ask detailed questions.
Even dishes from a dedicated “gluten-free” menu section can suffer from cross-contamination. Use the GIG
restaurant card. Ask your waiter to take the card to the chef for more assistance in selecting safe menu
items. The only person who really knows what went into a dish is the person who made it.
Be prepared for dinner parties.
To avoid staring longingly at off-limits foods, offer to bring your own gluten-free entrée, appetizer, or
dessert. Most beer harbors gluten, so consider bringing that, too. If you’re still worried about finding
enough to eat, eat a small meal beforehand.

GF personal care and supplements
If you’ve got celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, any gluten you
consume, including gluten in supplements and oral care products, can
cause adverse reactions. But what about topical beauty aids? Does your
shampoo, body lotion, and makeup need to be gluten-free?
Many beauty and personal care products do contain gluten. Coarse-grain
ingredients such as oats and bran aid in exfoliation in facial and body
scrubs; lipstick may contain gluten in the form of wheat germ oil and color
sources. Other common gluten-containing beauty ingredients include
triticum vulgare (or hydrolyzed wheat protein, hydrolysate wheat protein),
sodium benzoate, potassium stearate, and hordeum vulgare (barley).
Is there concern about gluten’s presence in personal care items?
1. Gluten reactions occur when gluten is ingested and exposed to the
digestive tract.
2. Gluten is a protein that’s too large to be absorbed through the skin.
3. Substances absorbed through the skin do not have direct access to the
gastrointestinal system.
4. Skin reactions to gluten are most likely an allergic reaction and not related to celiac disease.
5. The true content of gluten in cosmetics is not clear; however, the amount of gluten used in most products is
insignificant, and it would take ingestion of unusual amounts to cause a reaction.
GF supplements
In natural and herbal supplements, gluten may be found in the form of added grains, grain grasses, or ingredi-
ents derived from these grains. When over-the-counter and prescription medications and supplements do
contain gluten, it is often from the inactive ingredients such as the fillers and binders, so it’s important to read
labels carefully. Gluten in prescription medication is less common but still should be thoroughly investigated
before using medications on a regular basis. Find Certified GF supplements here.

Baking aids. Today’s GF flour mixes work much like
all-purpose flour; some boost nutrition with almond,

BREAD. GF breads have vastly improved. You’ll find
excellent loaves which contain whole grain flours, buns,

Cereal. Choose cereals made with buckwheat, rice,
and corn, plus add-ins like chia, hemp,
and flax. Although inherently GF, oats often come in
contact with wheat during growing and processing,
so look for “certified gluten-free.” They also contain
a protein similar to gluten’s protein, so people with
celiac disease should consult a healthcare practitioner
before eating any oats.

Condiments. Many, including plain ketchup and
mustard, are naturally gluten-free, but mixed condi-

Kitchen hardware:
These items should be replaced and/or
designated for strictly GF use.
Cutting boards (plastic or wood). Due to cuts and
grooves that can develop in these items, it’s best to get
new ones to designate for GF use only.
Baking sheets and pans. Baking sheets and pans
often develop cuts and grooves. For baking sheets,
one option is to use parchment paper with existing
pans when baking GF cookies. To simplify matters and
to ensure safety, consider having separate GF desig-
nated baking sheets and pans for all GF baking.
Non-stick pots and pans
If there are any cuts or scratches in the surface of an
item, it needs replacing.
1
Stay clean. Start by giving the kitchen a thor-
ough cleaning. Pull everything out of the fridge,
cupboards, cabinets, and drawers and wash
things down with warm soapy water. In a NGF house-
hold, you’ll have to do this regularly.
2
Organize and segregate. Create designated
shelves, drawers, and cupboards specifically for
GF foods and for NGF foods. If they’re sharing
pantry space, place GF foods inside sealable containers
and put them above the gluten-containing items.
3
Dedicate kitchen hardware. Get duplicates of
all kitchen tools that could harbor gluten. Mark
all GF items in red.
Toasters. If you’ve ever toasted gluten-containing
products in it, get yourself a new one and mark it
clearly. (For toaster ovens, see if you can purchase
another rack for it.)
Colanders, strainers, and flour sifters. Since pastas
and gluten often get stuck in the small holes and slits,
cleaning them fully is problematic if not impossible.
Have separate items for GF foods.
Wooden utensils, boards, rolling pins. Porous items
can harbor gluten.

5 GF baking flours
Instead of relying on less-healthy white-rice and tapioca flours, cook and bake with nutrient-rich gluten-free
grains and flours. Here are five to try.
What’s your secret for perfect GF baked goods?

Quinoa flour.
Milled from South
American quinoa
seeds, quinoa flour
is easy to digest and
full of protein,
magnesium, fiber,
zinc, and folate. Its
delicate nutty flavor
is ideal for banana
bread, biscotti, light
muffins, shortcakes,
and pizza crust. Also
great for dredging
fish, chicken, or
pork cutlets before
cooking.
Garbanzo bean
flour. Also known
as chickpea flour,
this is sky-high in
protein and fiber—
6 and 5 grams per
quarter cup, respec-
tively. Garbanzo
flour has a complex,
slightly “beany”
flavor; work it into
breads, savory
piecrusts, falafel,
and burger or meat-
loaf mixtures. Also
try it as a thickener
for soups, stews,
and gravies.
Buckwheat flour.
Related to rhubarb,
not wheat, this flour
gleaned from buck-
wheat groats has a
robust, earthy flavor
and is chockablock
with B vitamins,
fiber, and rutin, a
powerful antioxi-
dant. Buckwheat
flour adds a distinct
taste to pancakes,
crepes, bars, scones,
quick breads, and
maple cookies.
Teff flour. Teff is
the world’s tiniest
grain and yields a
sweet, malty flavor
when milled. The
tan-colored flour is
a good source of
iron and bone-
boosting calcium.
Teff flour perks up
flat- breads, waffles,
gingerbread
cookies, and
anything baked
with chocolate.
Chia flour. Dark
chia flour is mildly
nutty; white chia is
more neutral in
flavor. Chia is a
particularly rich
source of omega-3s,
which offer various
health benefits
including promoting
heart health. Chia
flour works well in
muffins, brownies,
sweet breads, fruit
crisps, and home-
made crackers. Or
mix a heaping
spoonful into
oatmeal or granola.

Brown rice
Rice comes in many varieties: short grain, long grain, jasmine, basmati,
and more. Long-grain rice tends to be fluffier, while short-grain rice is
stickier. Compared with all grains, brown rice contains the most B vitamins.
Tip: Add leftover cooked brown rice to cold salads.
Recipes: Jasmine Brown Rice Soup
Creamy Rice and Quinoa Pudding
Buckwheat
Despite the name, buckwheat is a gluten-free member of the rhubarb
family. It is also sold unroasted as kasha. Buckwheat is high in B vitamins,
fiber, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and zinc.
Try: Use buckwheat flour to make delicious crepes.
Recipes: Spiced Apple, Buckwheat, and Oat Porridge
Tuscan Kale Soup with Buckwheat
Cornmeal, polenta, grits
Ground, whole-grain cornmeal is a rich source of complex carbohydrates
and also provides B vitamins and iron. Polenta is cooked cornmeal that
can either be served moist as a porridge or left to set and served in
wedges. Grits are made from cornmeal with the germ and bran removed.
Try: Cooked polenta makes a great alternative to pizza crust—top with
tomato sauce, cheese, and vegetables, and bake.
Recipes: Sunshine Polenta
Rustic Polenta Pudding
4 easy tips for cooking GF grains
1. Always rinse grains thoroughly under cool running water to remove debris.
2. For fluffier grains, toast the grain first in a dry skillet over a burner for a couple
of minutes until the grain starts to give off a nutty aroma or pop.
3. For stickier grains, add the grains directly to cold water before bringing to a boil.
4. No need to stir! Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook
until you can tip the pot and no liquid comes to the surface.

Millet
This golden, beadlike,
U.S.-grown grain tastes
nutty and mildly sweet,
is highly digestible and
gluten-free, and provides
fiber, protein, minerals,
and B vitamins.
Try: Coarsely grind
uncooked millet in a spice
grinder; mix with garlic
salt, paprika, or dried
herbs for a gluten-free
breading for chicken.
Recipes: Millet, Shrimp,
and Squash Risotto
Orange-Banana Bread
with Pecans
Quinoa
Technically a grass,
quinoa is related to
spinach and comes in
several color varieties.
Quinoa is high in protein,
fiber, vitamin E, magne-
sium, iron, phosphorous,
copper, and zinc.
Try: Serve quinoa in a
traditional salad with
corn, tomatoes, bell
peppers, and kidney
beans.
Recipes: Pink and Purple
Quinoa
Golden Quinoa Pilaf with
Tart Cherries
Sorghum
Sorghum contains antioxi-
dants including anthocya-
nins, also found in blue-
berries. It’s also a good
source of fiber, B vitamins
and iron.
Try: Sorghum flour mixes
well with most other
gluten-free flours in
baking.

and Pecan Cookies

Teff
A tiny grain with a sweet
flavor, teff is high in
protein, calcium, iron,
copper, and zinc. It is
traditionally used as flour
but can also be cooked
whole and used as a side
dish.
Try: Cook teff on the
stovetop and use as a hot
breakfast cereal or a
seasoned side dish.
Recipes: Ginger-Pear Teff
Muffins

3 simple ways to use millet
Breakfast: Combine cooked millet with chopped,
toasted almonds, apples, dates, cinnamon, and your
favorite milk or nondairy milk substitute for an
allergen-free breakfast.
Baby food: Use apple juice instead of water when
cooking millet, and then purée the mixture for a
nutritious first food.
Salad: Add cooked millet to finely chopped kale,
scallions, carrots, bell peppers, cooked beans, or any
vegetable combination; toss with a nut-based
dressing for a healthy lunch salad.
