Gluten Free!
Finally! A recipe collection of gluten free baked goods that are not taste free!
With a growing number of our population suffering from allergic reactions to digesting wheat and or gluten, we have decided to test and share some recipes we've collected along with some tips and techniques.
Gluten is made up from 2 protein molecules, glutanin and gliadin found in flour. When water and flour are mixed and kneaded, gluten is formed and this is what gives traditional bread it's structure and texture. Sensitivity and intolerance to gluten and wheat can range from symptoms such as mild abdominal cramps and headaches, all the way to the most severe being Celiac disease which affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States.

I was pleased to find the nation's leader in the successful treatment of IBS and other related digestive disorders, is right here in the Northwest. He is Dr. Stephen Wangen N.D., founder of the IBS Treatment Center in Seattle, WA. For info on his new book, Healthier Without Wheat click here Visit the links below for additional info about the services they offer.
A partner of the IBS Treatment Center is the Innate Health Foundation. This foundation is a public charity 501(c)(3) organization that supports the IBS and food allergy communities in a variety of ways. One of the best tools they offer is a "wiki" website where anyone can add information about food products, restaurants, recipes, cookbooks and more. It is like Wikipedia for the food allergy/intolerance community. Visit the links below for additional info.
Another doctor of natural Medicine I have had the pleasure of working with is Dr. Christine Bowen N.D.; founder of Bothell Natural Health Clinic in Bothell WA. Digestive support for gluten intolerance is among the many services in which she specializes. For more info on her clinic click here
One of the main issues
shared by those craving baked goods made without wheat flour are the
high prices in retail establishments. Equally frustrating is the poor
quality, variety, and taste found in many retail shops selling gluten
free breads.

wheat free flours, non traditional techniques, and traditional
