Home Storage for the Celiac Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting nutrient absorption and normal bowel function of the small intestine. Because it affects nutrient absorption, many additional symptoms, diseases and conditions are associated with it. It is caused by gluten and other proteins found in common grains. Celiacs cannot eat any kind of wheat, barley, rye, triticale, or, possibly, oats. They are also limited in how much soy they can eat and may even need to avoid dairy products while the intestine heals. Those with celiac disease must avoid gluten so it seems difficult to have food storage. It may be more expensive and take a little more work but it is possible due to the variety of foods now available. The following are food storage recommendations for a celiac for 1 year: 300 lbs of grains including any of the following: rice - any kind or kinds 60 lbs dried beans - any kind or kinds except soybeans. These include:
50 lbs powdered milk when dairy can be tolerated 5 lbs salt 60 lbs of sweeteners – This includes: white sugar 20 lbs of fats – This includes: vegetable and/or olive oil When most of these are in storage, add fruits and vegetables that are home canned, commercially canned, dehydrated or freeze dried without preservatives. Store the equivalent of 913 cups of food. Then, add home canned or freeze dried meats without preservatives. The amount will be determined by how often meat is to be eaten. Other things to add are: nuts A garden is also highly recommended. See Mixes from the Heartland for gluten free mixes and dehydrated foods. |
