Gluten-free cooking class will start on January 25 LACONIA — A five-week class on Gluten-Free Cooking will be offered by the Adult Education program on Tuesdays from 6 — 8 p.m. beginning January 25. Up to one million Americans may have intolerance for gluten, a protein found in all wheat, rye, barley, and oat products. Allergy to wheat is one of the more common food allergies in children with symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, and nausea. Wheat allergy is different from a disorder known as Celiac Disease, an immune system reaction that causes inflammation in the small intestines when a person eats any food containing gluten. The only medically acceptable treatment for gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease is to elimi-
nate all gluten from the diet. Many people with other conditions may also benefit from a gluten and wheat-free diet including those with Attention Deficit Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, Lactose Intolerance, Autism, chronic fatigue, indigestion, and malnutrition. In the Gluten-Free Cooking class, Sarah BaldwinWelcome, a culinary graduate of Newbury College and owner of Provincial Palate Inc., will teach students how to live wheat/gluten-free and still enjoy pasta, pizza, and crepes. Participants will learn how to prepare basic recipes with gluten-free ingredients and explore new gluten-free alternatives. To enroll in the course or get more information, call the Adult Education Office at 524-5712.
