Don’t you just love the smell of pancakes in the morning? Have an allergy or a reason that stops you from eating pancakes made with ordinary flour? Not to fear! Below is a recipe for gluten-free pancakes, a pancake you can eat that you can enjoy.
Some facts about gluten allergies include:
- For some people, pancakes made with ordinary flour affect their body due to Celiac Disease, a Wheat Allergy, or a Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.
- Wheat is one of the top eight food allergens in the United States.
- A wheat allergy is an immune response to any of the proteins present in wheat, including but not limited to gluten.
- Allergic reactions can result from eating wheat, but also, in some cases, by inhaling wheat flour.
- Wheat can be found in many foods, including some you might not suspect, such as beer, soy sauce and ketchup.
- Avoiding wheat is the primary treatment for wheat allergy.
- Wheat allergy sometimes is confused with celiac disease, but these conditions differ.
- A wheat allergy generates an allergy-causing antibody to proteins found in wheat.
- In people with celiac disease, a particular protein in wheat — gluten — causes an abnormal immune system reaction.
- Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system responds abnormally to gluten.
- Gluten is present in wheat, barley, and rye.
- If you have celiac disease, eating gluten will cause your immune system to destroy your villi.
- These are the fingerlike parts of your small intestine that are responsible for absorbing nutrients.
- Without healthy villi, you won’t be able to get the nutrition that you need.
- Some people don’t have celiac disease and are not allergic to wheat, but have some bad symptoms after eating gluten.
- Researchers are still trying to discover the exact biological cause of this condition, known as NCGS (Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
- There’s no test that can diagnose you with NCGS.
- It’s diagnosed in people who experience symptoms after eating gluten, but test negative for wheat allergy and celiac disease.
