Go Gluten-Free with Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad

I remember growing up as a kid I had an aunt that developed a disease that had to do with gluten. She suddenly was unable to eat things like bread and pasta and could no longer drink beer. It all seemed very strange to me as I thought about how difficult it must be to find anything to eat! Fast forward 20 years and Celiac Disease is more prominent than ever. I constantly find myself coming across Gluten-Free foods and recipes and friends telling me tales of going gluten-free.
Since I’m just as clueless as I was 20 years ago, and there is no better time than now to bring awareness to Celiac Disease, I thought this would be a good time to learn some basics. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. In basic terms, you cannot eat products made with wheat, barley and rye. Today, 1 in 141 Americans suffers from this disease. There are many different symptoms that can exist that may help you pinpoint if you have the disease including delayed growth, depression and fatigue. A quick Google search will be sure to deliver a long list of symptoms if you’re interested.

In addition to this, there are many blogs and recipes available on the internet that will help guide your cooking as well.
