INTRODUCTION

The onset of a variety of health conditions such as heart disease, obesity and digestive issues has been traced to the consumption of wheat. This is why many nutritionists and dietitians are supporting the adoption of a wheat-free and gluten-free life. When you make this transition, you will give yourself a better chance of having a healthier and more enjoyable life.

The Wheat Belly Recipes Collection is designed to provide a collection of delicious wheat free and gluten free recipes for individuals who want to live a healthier lifestyle. This gluten-free and wheat-free diet has become very popular due to a number of reasons:

Wheat Allergy

A surprisingly large number of people are allergic to wheat but most of them do not know that the problems they are experiencing are caused by this grain. This is because wheat is present in almost an unlimited number of foods. Wheat allergy is now recognized as one of the top food allergies.

Celiac Disease

This autoimmune disease is known to affect about 1 out of every 133 people in the United States. Many people have it without being aware because of the diverse symptoms that it has. The immune systems of sufferers of this condition have an abnormal response to gluten and this damages the small intestine. The ability of the body to absorb nutrients is affected and other serious problems may be experienced. Presently, Celiac disease can only be treated by abstaining from foods that contain gluten.

Gluten Sensitivity (Nonceliac)

Gluten may also have adverse effects on your body even if you do not have a wheat allergy or Celiac disease. If you have a condition known as nonceliac gluten sensitivity , you will not have an abnormal autoimmune response but you may still experience digestive problems, headaches, fatigue, depression, neurological issues and other symptoms experienced by Celiac disease sufferers. Unverified estimates claim that this condition affects up to 20 million Americans.

Other Health Problems

Besides wheat allergy, Celiac disease and nonceliac gluten sensitivity, the consumption of gluten can also cause other health problems. These include dermatitis herpetiformis (a type of  skin rash) and leaky gut syndrome. In leaky gut syndrome, certain toxins find their way into the bloodstream.

Why You Should Avoid Wheat

Digestive Difficulty: The human body is not properly equipped for the digestion of wheat. Cows and other animals that feed on wheat have the right type of stomach and enzymes to break down gluten and absorb it into their bodies. A large percentage of gluten containing foods that humans eat just passes through the body without providing substantial nutritional value. Additionally, the undigested portions end up causing unpleasant flatulence.

The Nutritional Value  Of Refined Wheat Is Low: The modern process of refining wheat removes most of the nutritional benefits that it can give to your body. As a result, it contributes very little to your health. Many wheat-containing foods have to be enriched by manufactures but this enrichment process does not really add much to the nutritional value.

Wheat Is Pro-inflammatory: The part of wheat that is digestible is converted quickly to sugar when eaten. This rapid supply of sugar causes a rise in insulin levels of the body as well as the inflammation of the cells.

Choose A Healthier Lifestyle

Many people do not have gluten related problems but have chosen to adhere to a gluten-free and wheat-free diet in order to have a healthier life. The recipes in this book will make it easier for you to adopt this new lifestyle. If you try going gluten free for a few weeks, you may discover that your body has some minor reactions to gluten that you were never aware of. Less bloating, better digestion, increased energy and a heighten sense of well-being are some of the changes you may notice.
