Healthy Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts

In our last article, we covered being gluten-free when it isn't medically mandated.   Now that there is more awareness of gluten-sensitivity, there is a bigger selection of gluten-free foods.  It's easier than ever for people with medically diagnosed gluten problems to eat healthy diets. However, don't automatically assume that if a food is labeled as gluten-free that it is 100% good for you either.
Some gluten-free foods, for example,  are high in saturated fat, sodium, or cholesterol. Other foods may be gluten-free, however, they have a high calorie count and contain little else that is nutritious. Another real danger that you have to watch out for if you have to deal with gluten-sensitivity is the fact that there are no protocols in place from the food and drug administration as to what it takes for a food to be certified as gluten-free.

Gluten-Free and 100% Gluten-Free

A lot of foods can be labeled dishonestly.  For example, the word light can mean lighter in calories, but it can also mean lighter in color.  You could find something that is low in fat, low in sugar, but it's sodium count is way too high.  These problems can be bad, but not immediately dangerous.  However, where gluten-free foods are concerned, a minor slip can be potentially fatal.
For example a lot of facilities that are listed as gluten-free also bake regular baked goods as well.  Even if the facility wipes down the baking pans and surfaces, there is still a big risk of cross-contamination. That's why when you're buying something like gluten-free pizza crusts for example, you want to make sure that you are getting them from a place that is certified as 100% gluten free.  Eating gluten-free is healthy to people who have a gluten sensitivity obviously, but even someone who is gluten-sensitive isn't exempt from healthy eating.
A healthy gluten-free diet, should include foods that are proved to be healthy such as natural food, lean meats and fish, low-fat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables.   These foods are all safe to eat if you are gluten-sensitive. Non-gluten grains such as quinoa and amaranth are another way to get grain without the dangers of gluten. In face, a lot more products such as breads, cereals, and pastas are being made with these grains.  If you are gluten-sensitive and have to watch gluten, find the right foods to help you, such as gluten-free pizza crusts.
