Sounds like a bad case of the stomach flu. Yes, some of us may be experiencing experienc-ing these symptoms today as flu season is fast approaching, but people with celiac disease live with these symptoms daily. Celiac disease is an intestinal in-testinal disorder in which the body reacts to a protein called gluten, which is found in bread, pasta, cookies, pizza piz-za crust and other foods that contain wheat, barley, rye and even oats. When a person per-son with celiac disease eats foods that contain gluten, an immune reaction occurs in the small intestine, resulting in damage to the surface of the intestine and an inability to absorb certain nutrients from food. This can cause vitamin deficiencies that deprive de-prive the brain, nervous system, sys-tem, bones, liver and other organs of vital nutrients. There are no typical signs and symptoms of celiac disease. dis-ease. However, most people with the disease have complaints com-plaints such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating. Celiac disease is also called celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, cilia sprue and gluten-sensitive gluten-sensitive enteropathy. . Celiac disease runs in , families and is an inherited disease.

If you are experiencing any symptoms symp-toms out of the ordinary for long periods of time, you may want to drop in and have a visit with your doctor. You may ask what is gluten? glu-ten? Gluten is wheat gum, the insoluble component of grains such as wheat, barley and rye. It is a mixture of gliadin, glutenin, and other proteins. Gluten causes allergic reactions reac-tions in certain people, young or old. This past week as I was contacted by Ruth Bezzant from Pleasant Grove for recipes reci-pes that are gluten free, I was taken back to many years ago when I was working as a nurse. I remember bits and pieces of nursing school when we learned briefly about celiac ce-liac disease. In fact, not too many months ago I had a short training on celiac disease dis-ease for a refresher course. I am not one to give advice on the actions you should take to improve your disease (other than staying away from gluten all together), but I do feel that I have a small piece of knowledge and some wonderful recipes I can share with you to help yourself, or the one you love with celiac disease. It is hard to find foods that are gluten free. If you think about every piece of food that you eat daily, more than half would be filled with gluten. Many health food stores and local grocery stores now offer of-fer gluten-free foods. The problem our reader had was how to make food for a friend that has cilia sprue. There are some recipes that are delicious that you and I can make out of our every- chine and hearing amplifiers at the center. Exercise class A low impact im-pact exercise class for seniors is scheduled every Monday and Wednesday at the Jacobs Center at 10:30 a.m. Bingo Bingo is held every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. Other activities There is a movie matinee on Thursday at 1 p.m., free for seniors, Legal aid -A BYU law student is volunteering to help each Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. with legal questions that he can help with. Quilting There is always a quilt to do and help is welcome. Crochet class Every Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon, Edith McCellan is teaching teach-ing a crochet class. Bring your own yarn and hook. The course is free. Boutique Caroline's Boutique Bou-tique provides a variety of crocheted and quilted items and is open during the center's regular hours. Other activities Billiards, card games, exercise equipment equip-ment are a few of the other activities ac-tivities available at the Jacobs Center. Luncheons Those who haven't been to a center lunch for a while day food in our pantries. The secret is knowing what foods we can use and how to put them all together. This week I will share with you some recipes that I have had on file from my last brief training on gluten-free foods. To Ruth and all of the others looking how to cook without gluten, may you find these recipes helpful. Until next weeks batter chatter try these recipes, even if you are not suffering from celiac disease. And if you are suffering from stomach aches may you feel better and may your diarrhea be put to rest! I can be contacted at emily-marIoweconnect2.com. emily-marIoweconnect2.com. Note: Any information that I have given you today is simply sim-ply from the training I have received and from my memory memo-ry bank. I am not a physician or a specialist concerning celiac disease.
