Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q.

What is the most effective treatment?

Nothing, gluten only affects people with celiac disease.

Q.

A.

Does gluten make you fat?

No, there are no convincing studies that affirm this relationship, there is more talk about the tendency to use gluten-free foods without foundation, since obesity is a disease that occurs due to other causes, such as excessive consumption of saturated fats, sugar.

Questions from a Celiac

Q.

A.

What if someone who doesn't have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity eats gluten-free foods?

Absolutely nothing. Following a gluten-free diet does not harm the body and is not a risk as long as a balanced diet is followed. The whole family can put gluten-free food on the table and try new recipes without having to worry about their health.

Q.

A.

Should I have a set of cookware or a whole kitchen just for me?

All you need is a toaster, a bread bin, and maybe a cupboard set aside for you in the kitchen. Another thing you can do is put your name on kitchen utensils (especially wooden ones) to use exclusively with gluten-free products. It is important that after each use, work surfaces (especially cutting boards made of wood) are thoroughly cleaned so that no residue from other previously prepared foods remains.

Q.

If I am celiac, will my children be too?

A.

​This autoimmune disease is not necessarily hereditary. In any case, it may be a good idea to give your children the recommended blood tests.
