Does Wheat Hurt You?

Larissa filled us in this week on what Celiac Disease is. A lot of people are throwing around big words like CELIAC, GLUTEN, SPROUTED GRAINS, and other strange things we smile and nod at because we are too afraid to ask. Well let me tell you, us girls are A Sound Constitution are not afraid to ask anything and neither should you! The best way to attain a healthy lifestyle is to educate yourself and apply your knowledge to your life! I hope we can help you in that life long endeavour! 


Here is what Larissa would like to tell you about her show. 

Have you been wondering what all the buzz is about celiac disease? Or why gluten-free labels have been showing up all over your grocery store?

In this week’s show, we will be discussing the what, why, where, how and when of celiac disease. We’ll cover what celiac disease is, where it affects the body, why the prevalence is increasing and how to live a happy, healthy gluten-free life. 

Included is an interview with Will Langlands and Nicole Narbonne, a couple from Powell River who, for the past four years, have proved that a gluten free diet doesn’t need to be boring or anything short of delicious! Recipes are available on their blog at farmgirl.skeenastreetstudio.ca.

We’ll also cover the difference between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, the meaning behind “silent” celiac disease, the contributing factors that should encourage you to get tested, the challenges faced in a gluten-free diet and suggestions to counteract them. 

If you have celiac disease, know someone who does or simply want to learn more – tune in to A Sound Constitution on CHLY 101.7FM in Nanaimo on Thursday, February 16^th from 10-11am where we will demystify celiac disease, separate fact from fiction and provide you with information about your health care options!
