Buying Products From An Online Gluten Free Bakery

By Nora Jennings


Discovering that you are gluten intolerant is often daunting. You may feel depressed about having to give up certain foods and battle to make the necessary changes to your diet. An online gluten free bakery can help to make this transition less difficult. The variety of high quality, delicious products available from such bakeries is growing all the time and placing an order is easy.

Today there are many people suffering from digestive disorders and autoimmune diseases that are unable to tolerate gluten. It causes a severe reaction in their bodies which cannot just be ignored. The small intestine suffers damage and can no longer absorb nutrients properly.

Some of the grains that are forbidden to these individuals are wheat, barley, rye and oats. Unfortunately, many of the products consumed on a daily basis are made from these grains. However, progress has been made and bakeries are now using a number of other grains and starches to produce products acceptable in the diet of those suffering this intolerance. Rice, sorghum, tapioca and potatoes are all used to produce acceptable flours.

People often feel very deprived if they have to give up bread. Fortunately, many different types of bread are available from these bakeries, from loaves made from tapioca to flax seed loaves high in fiber. A high fiber loaf made with sorghum, millet and teff flours is a wholesome alternative to one made with wheat. Breads can be bought individually but they can also be bought in cases and stored in a freezer for several months.

Individuals eating gluten-free foods often miss flavor and texture in the foods they have to eat. There are indeed products available that are dry, lacking in texture and that crumble easily. However, bakeries devoted to providing this type of product have managed to come up with some very satisfying alternatives. One can even satisfy sweet cravings with moist muffins or delicious brownies.

The problem with some of these foods is that they contain hidden sugars, fats and sodium. These are added to help improve the flavor but are not good for your health. It is very important to read labels and make sure about the ingredients found in the product being purchased. You may find, for example, that a product you thought was acceptable actually contains wheat for thickening.

You need to make sure when purchasing such products online, that the bakery is a reputable one with a good track record. Many of these bakeries have their products tested to make sure that they are acceptable for people who suffer from intolerance. One way to find out more about a particular store is to read customer testimonials.

It is possible to have items shipped fresh or frozen, obviously depending on where you are ordering from and the nature of the product. These products may be somewhat more expensive than items found in your local supermarket. However, the amazing variety and the quality makes them really worth buying. You will no longer feel deprived with the many delicious alternatives available to you.
