Celiac Sprue

My uncle has Celiac Sprue and now my cousin has been diagnosed with both Celiac and Crohns. It is through my cousin's diagnosis that we have recently learned my Uncle had been diagnosed with both as well. Turns out that once they had put him on his diet for Celiac Sprue his Crohns symptoms went away. He also said that many other foods use to make him sick such as dairy products. However, as he followed his Celiac diet his symptoms improved and now dairy no longer is a problem for him. People with Celiac Sprue have a weat/gluten allergy. Thus they have foods that do not contain these two ingredients. The good news is that as the word seems to be spreading about Celiac Sprue the more gluten free foods are coming available in the local grocery stores like Giant Eagle. If you are diagnosed with this condition it is imperrative that you follow the diet set forth for you by your Doctor or Dietition if you want to feel better. I will start posting recipes for this condition soon as well. It will be based on my uncle's diet, but I hope that it will help you gain the tools you need to put a menu together.
