Living Gluten Free
Celiac disease is an intestinal condition in which the body cannot tolerate a protein called gluten. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley. In people with celiac disease, consuming gluten damages the lining of the small intestine, causing poor absorption of many nutrients. Symptoms vary, but the most common include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, abdominal cramps and bloating. Consult your doctor for a definite diagnosis. The primary treatment for celiac disease is life-long strict gluten free diet regimen. We can help you learn to live gluten free and enjoy eating.

Cancer Prevention
According to the American Cancer Society, one-third of all cancer deaths are related to lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, obesity, tobacco and others. Guidelines for cancer prevention are similar to those for preventing other health problems including heart disease and diabetes.

Lactose Intolerance
Lactose is a natural sugar in milk and milk products. During digestion, an enzyme called lactase, breaks down lactose into smaller parts. People with lactose intolerance produce too little lactase to digest the lactose in dairy products. It can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as cramping, bloating, gas and diarrhea. We can help you plan a diet adequate in calcium and Vitamin D while controlling the lactose in your daily food plan.Click here for diet help
