I have some exciting news to share with you today! Two of our contributors, Dr. Paul Nottoli and Jen Broyles are hosting a FREE live online event called Getting a Grip with Gluten. They’re going to discuss in depth how to incorporate a healthy, gluten-free lifestyle, customize your diet to work for you, make additional lifestyle […]
Migraine headaches as well as joint pain are common problems for people suffering from undiagnosed and/or untreated celiac disease. Ibuprofen and Naproxen are many times the go-to pain relievers of choice for millions of people — according to one NIH study, this may be worsening their situation: “All the conventional NSAIDs studied were equally associated […]
There have been numerous posts written about why a gluten-free diet alone isn’t going to help you heal from the ravages of celiac disease, but I will take any opportunity I can to help people come to the conclusion that the gluten-free aisle may not always be a good choice. A few articles to start with are here, […]
If you haven’t tried Sylvie Shirazi’s gluten-free recipes, you’re really missing out. This one for Parsnip Hummus Dip with Fiery Chili Oil is the ultimate healthy snack (or meal) when you’re in the mood for something with a Mediterranean flair. Made from parsnips (not chickpeas as the word hummus implies), a handful of spices, and few […]
How many times have you been at the supermarket meat counter and looking in the glass case at all of the beautiful sausages only to find out they’re not gluten-free? It’s more common than you might think. Even your favorite butcher uses casing that’s not gluten-free. As with most things, it’s much better to be […]
Everyone needs to hear Dr. Tom O’Bryan‘s important message about gluten sensitivity. It goes way beyond people simply being diagnosed with celiac disease and then following a gluten-free diet — Dr. Tom goes one (or a few) steps further and discusses the numbers of people who are simply gluten-intolerant. It is just as important for them to […]
When I first adopted a gluten-free diet back in 1999 after my diagnosis of celiac disease, I of course went straight for what was then a really bad selection of gluten-free substitutes for both bread and tortillas (and a plethora of other baked goods). The bread was a dense concoction of rice and corn and […]
Let me start this post by saying that I have an issue with the common misconception that a paleo or primal diet is centered around meat. Every time I talk to someone about the way I eat, that is inevitably the first thing that comes out of their mouth. I go on to explain that […]
I don’t post many recipes for things like bread replacements and desserts, but every once in a while something comes along that just begs to be shared. This recipe for a “Rainy Day Biscuit” from Simone Shifnadel of Zenbelly Catering is one such recipe. Simple ingredients come together to make something that is downright delicious […]
The Celiac Handbook website was created in 2004 by Chris Armstrong and has evolved into a portal for new (and old) ideas related to healthy and sustainable gluten-free living.
Celiac Handbook goes well beyond the latest cupcake recipe or even the most realistic tasting gluten-free sliced bread. The goal is to share information about minimally processed real food that helps people heal from what has usually been years of damage done by undiagnosed celiac disease.
