Allergy Free Foods Or Recipes

By Chris Channing

Today, it seems more than ever, that people have allergies to certain foods. Eating foods that a person has an allergy to can cause many different symptoms. Some of the symptoms may be very mild while others can be severe or even death. If you have a food allergy, access to allergy free foods or recipes can make life much more enjoyable.

Gluten is a common food allergy. Gluten occurs naturally in wheat and some other grains. It is often added to breads to make them rise more uniformly resulting in a soft white bread. In addition gluten is found in many other foods, so persons with this allergy should read labels carefully.

Lactose causes an allergic reaction in some persons. Lactose is milk sugar and found in many dairy products. Lactose can cause persons with the allergy to have an upset stomach. Fortunately there are several substitutes that can be made for dairy products.

In small children, a nut allergy can be very frightening. The allergy can cause swelling that in the airways that can cause death. Persons with a nut allergy may need to avoid eating foods that are processed in the same kitchens that process nuts. A mild nut allergy can cause a upset stomach.

An allergy to eggs can cause the cook to need to change recipes calling for eggs. In addition, make sure that your physician is reminded of the allergy before receiving any inoculation, as eggs sometime serve as the media in which the medication is stored. If you cook for a person with an allergy to eggs, look for recipes that allow you to prepare foods without eggs.

Persons may also have allergies to less common foods. Most of these allergies are accommodated by avoiding the foods that is the source of the allergy. For example, persons allergic to shellfish, should avoid eating clams.

In Conclusion

When a person is allergic to one or more of the common foods that are used in preparing meals, life can be challenging. It is necessary for persons preparing food for those with multiple allergies take time in reading labels of any prepared foods that may be served. It may be hard to find a bread that works for a person that is allergic to gluten, eggs and milk. Special recipes are being developed regularly that can help to meet these challenges while allowing the person to eat food that resembles a normal diet. - 32378

Your Tips To Gluten Free Cooking

By Stacey Peterno

Perhaps you are one of the many people who have to practice gluten free cooking. You might have a sensitivity to gluten and realize it. About one out of every one hundred and fifty people in this country suffer from gluten sensitivity. These are the signs you should look for. Do you have bloating or pain in your abdomen after eating?

But if you experience these symptoms on a regular basis no matter how much you eat then you might have sensitivity to gluten. Gluten is an amino acid or protein. It is found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is the part of the wheat that gives bread dough the gummy texture. Since so many foods are made with wheat it is sometimes hard to avoid eating gluten.

But with the fact that more and more people are being diagnosed with gluten sensitivity more and more food companies are offering gluten free products. You can find gluten free bake mixes for bread or pastries. You can even find gluten free snacks like potato based pretzels. As companies see a market for gluten free products there will be more released on the shelves of your favorite super markets.

There also are restaurants that offer on their menus gluten free dishes. As the food industry sees that people will start coming to their business for gluten free meals count on the menu choices to grow for those who have to avoid gluten. If you enjoy cooking you will want to cook foods without gluten. You bake bread with products not containing gluten like soy flour rather than wheat flour.

But you can also use rice flour. And you can prepare your own rice flour in your kitchen. You will want to start off with long grain brown rice. White rice has had the husks removed along with the nutrients found in brown rice. You will need a blender that can grind rice into flour. There are blenders on the market that are used to grind fruits and vegetables into smoothies and soups.

These high speed power blenders can be found on the internet. You then use the rice flour and combine it with about a half cup of soy flour you can buy in the store. You then add black molasses; and with that two eggs, baking soda and powder. One cook adds a cup of instant mashed potato mix to help bind together the flours.

Add just enough water to mix it into a smooth but not runny concoction. This does does not need yeast. Then pour the mix into a bread pan and put into a pre heated oven at 350 degrees for about an hour. Then remove it from the oven and let cool. This is a great tasting bread that is gluten free.

Now that more and more people are being diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity more and more recipes, cookbooks, and videos on gluten free cooking are available. Check your local book stores for cookbooks. You can find on the internet a lot of great gluten free recipes. And if you look to social media websites you will find many good videos on how to cook gluten free meals. - 32378

The No-Tech Lo-Tech Nasal Saline Spray

By Stanley Lang

When people go shopping for treatments for their nasal problems they encounter quite a few options. So many options it's hard to say which is the best. Some of these treatments are aimed at getting a saline nasal spray up the nose.

Clearly you need an effective nasal saline solution to be able to use it as a nasal spray. It's not complicated. The most common products simply put salt and water together although the concentrations may vary. Oh, but lest I forget, they tend to have preservatives in them too. Yes, sad to say, preservatives are there to keep the germs out. Most of the nasal sprays on the market have preservatives so it's a good chance that yours does too.

The average person might shrug their shoulders. "Big deal" they might say. I would like you to consider for a moment the concept that something that is strong enough to kill germs is being sprayed up your nose. You might think that's a good thing in that it'll kill the germs there too! Sorry to disappoint you but that's not a good way to get rid of the bad germs in your nose. Here's the straight scoop: preservatives irritate the cells in the lining of the nose. Surprised?

Not only do the store bought strategies have chemicals that are bad for the lining of the nose, they employ devices to get the saline "up there" that aren't as good as a "lo tech" approach. You will read in some places that sniffing saline nasal solution from the palm of your hand "doesn't work". Don't believe this opinion. They don't know what they are talking about.

Actually, sniffing a nasal saline solution from the hand is a very good way to get the equivalent of a saline nasal spray up the nose. I think it's the best way. In over 30 years of medical practice I see this as a very effective strategy--- when it's done right and with the right kind of home made nasal saline solution. I call this my "Lo tech, No tech" approach. If you're interested in this you can get the information on my blog.

So I want to summarize these points: if you combine the right ingredients to make a good saline nasal solution you can make this product free of preservatives and avoid all of those negatives. And you can deliver it to the nose in a very "Lo tech" approach using that most simple of "Lo tech" devices, the hand. (Actually Lo tech only in the sense of not made by people!!)---but make sure you learn how to do it the right way. - 32378

What Are The Benefits Of Allergy Bedding And Hypoallergenic Bedding?

By Pete Malcolm

Every year, millions of people struggle to manage the unpleasant physical affects caused by allergies. If you suffer from allergies, then you know how uncomfortable and stressful it can be to get a good night's sleep. One major cause of allergy afflictions can be found in our bedding. Dust mites found in bedding can cause such health problems as difficulties breathing, wheezing, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, chest congestion, coughing, and stuffy nose. Dust mites are tiny organisms that make their home in warm and moist fibrous environments such as bedding, carpets, mattresses, and upholstered furniture. When the dust mites secrete waste, they dry out and can begin to float in the air. Dust mite excretion will trigger allergic reactions when inhaled. If you are allergic, the reaction will be instant. Dust mites are particularly harmful for people who have respiratory conditions such as asthma. If you are continually finding it difficult to sleep, tossing and turning throughout the night, as well as finding yourself waking up with nose and chest congestion, it is likely that you have dust mites in your bedding. Fortunately, allergy sufferers can get relief from allergens by using hypoallergenic bedding.

Hypoallergenic bedding is specially designed to be allergen-resistant. Allergy bedding uses natural occurring hypoallergenic material such as silk. Natural silk is an excellent hypoallergenic material because it does not support dust mites as it has a tighter fabric weave. People who are allergic to dust mites will see their health greatly improve from sleeping in hypoallergenic bedding because it promotes a dust mite free environment. One can purchase various types of allergy bedding that includes: bed sheets, pillow protectors, mattress covers and pads, mattresses, and duvet covers. Not only does allergy bedding like allergy pillow protectors (one of the most important since your face rubs against it all night), eliminate dust mites, but it creates a healthier environment by improving breathing and sleep.

When you use manufactured products for bedding, you are more prone to sleep disruptions, breathing problems, headaches, and skin irritations. Chemical sprays from manufactured bedding can releases toxins in the air and can also be absorbed into the skin. Hypoallergenic bedding is chemical-free and made of natural material. As well, using regular manufactured bedding and linens makes it much easier for dust mite waste, dust, dead skin cells, and pet dander, to become embedded in the loosely woven fibers. By using hypoallergenic bedding, you will sleep soundly and peacefully knowing that you are not only breathing better, but also improving your own health.

Due to the numerous amounts of harmful pollutants and toxins in the products we use on a daily basis, more people are becoming sensitive to such conditions as allergies and toxin related illnesses. Because we can spend 7 - 8 hours a night in bed, it is important to sleep in a healthy environment. Without a peaceful uninterrupted sleep, people can suffer from irritability, fatigue, concentration problems, and even depression. Using hypoallergenic bedding is an important way of improving sleep, reducing allergies, and improving our overall health and well being.

One of the top manufacturers of allergy bedding products is SmartSilk, a Montreal company whose mission really summarizes how dedicated they are to their products (visit their website at www.smartsilk.com) :

"With the rise of asthma and sleep allergies amongst adults and children, with the growing numbers of woman and men suffering with night sweats as well those of us dealing with life's everyday stresses causing sleep issues, Smartsilk(TM) is committed to providing a clean, healthy, natural, comfortable sleep that will protect you while you sleep and allow you wake up fresh, well rested and invigorated."

How To Find The Best Hepa Air Purifier For A Good Price

By Eddie Howden

Many individuals suffer from the stressful condition that having hypersensitivity could give. It may show itself in the form of bouts of sneezing, puffy appearance of the eyes which are watering and a running or a blocked nose can make it uneasy to breathe. The likelihood that they will hit you is assumed to be at any time of the year, however, you will have the most probability of getting influenced by it during the times when flowers begin blooming and pollens are scattered free off the air or during the springtime. It could also depend on the place of your residence as some areas are prone to carry such contaminants than other areas.Allergy relief electronic air cleaner and its any possible benefits will be tackled on this article.

An electronic air cleaner or air purifier can be very beneficial at home use since being outdoors can't be the only reason that you can get hypersensitivity as your home can be more inclined to gather such elements causing hypersensitivity more than anywhere else. It is from our homes that we breathe same type of air in a cycle as we are like inside self contained spaces. Things like dust and dust mites are commonly found in the home and they can set off an attack very quickly. Allergy relief electronic air cleaner or air purifiers clean the enclosed air which you are breathing in by removing all the air contaminants so that such attacks are prevented.

Since most of the allergy relief electronic air cleaners or air purifiers are made in portable form, you can use it in any room and carry it along anywhere in the house as all it needs is to be plugged to an outlet.Some units of these units can get rid of other odors that can trigger attacks such as those coming from the perfume or air fresheners aside from dust and dust mites. The unconscious inhalation of such smoke or smoke smells can no longer hurt you as they can also entrap those so that such pollutants can't set off an attack. The smoke smell usually lingers on the hands, hair and clothes of a smoker so when an attack prone person stays close to a smoker, the attack is inevitable. What the electronic air cleaner does is to capture the smoke as well as the smoke odor and run it through its own filtering system after which it releases fresh and clean air for you to breathe in.

Air purifiers are easily and readily available in a range of outlets including home improvement stores or stores which stock clothes, groceries and home improvement goods. There are different types of units available with many made solely for home use.

They can be used in a room or throughout the house and there are even systems for your car or truck with units that you can wear around your neck like a necklace that will filter the air where ever you go. I never even thought that a built in allergy relief electronic air cleaner into your cat box can actually remove feline stink - not until I had one. - 32378

Derma Rollers Stretch Mark Results - This Tip Is Almost Too Easy!

By Linda Robison

If you have stretch marks on your body then you probably already know what affect they can have on your self confidence and self esteem. And while we know that laser surgical treatment can help, many people simply can't afford it. And creams never work like they're supposed to, Right?

Is there a treatment that really works? Yes, try an ancient technique called skin needling or micro needling. Micro needling is an old technique, but it's fairly new in terms of home skin rejuvenation.

What is skin needling? It's a form of collagen induction therapy which helps to activate collagen development as well as allows for much better penetration for anti-aging creams and/or stretch mark gels to be much better assimilated by the skin.

Skin needling is performed with an instrument called the Scientia Derma Roller which is a small roller that contains really small fine needles. The needles on the roller penetrate the epidermis (top layer) of the skin to help rejuvenation the skin and improve collagen production.

How Does This Work For Stretch Marks? The derma roller punctures and gently parts the opening the pores - this causes your body to stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer where stretch marks are formed. This causes the brain to begin extra collagen and elastin formation. These formed collagen and elastin help in rejuvenation of the skin and in treating stretch marks.

The Scientia Derma roller is really a little plastic rolling device that has over two hundred very small micro-needles. These types of tiny needles are constructed with surgical medical grade stainless steel. As you move this device over wrinkled skin or stretch marks - the tiny micro needles create tiny openings in the skin's dermis and breaks apart hardened, damaged collagen ......allowing for it to be removed while fresh new skin (collagen and elastin) to be laid down on that damaged area.

Over time, damaged old skin is replaced with healthy, smooth skin. While chemical or laser peels might be faster, using the derma roller is a more healthier, cheaper alternative compared to other methods, and it really works to reduce and break down stretch marks. And, the best part is no healing or down time. You can do a derma rolling session and go out or wear shorts that very same day! As well as, the derma roller helps you achieve much more benefits from your creams because it assists with much better and deeper penetration of your stretch mark or wrinkle products.

The derma roller is regarded as being the most recent and natural method of curing stretch marks, wrinkles as well as scarred skin. Click here Derma Roller Stretch Mark Results for more information. - 32378

Nutrition and Good Nasal Health

By Stanley Lang

The purpose of this article is to put a little context in the articles that have focused on having a healthy nose and healthy sinuses through nasal saline spray or nasal saline solution. The nose, after all, does not exist by itself. But being part of the body it can surely draw a lot of attention to itself when things aren't going well.

There are a lot of different issues that affect the health of the nose. I think that a very important issue is the general nutrition of the body. Many people don't think about this, but the nutrition you throw at your body affects every single cell in your body. So we can say that it affects every single cell in your nose. If the cells in your nose aren't working well, your nose won't work well. Even if you are using a good nasal saline spray, it won't work nearly as well if your cells have bad nutrition.

So the nutrition of the body does directly affect the cells of the nose. It should be obvious to us that the body's health affects the health of the nose and so nutrition to the body affects the nutrition of the nose. In spite of this obvious connection it is typical that people with chronic nasal problems or chronic sinus issues pay little attention to how and what they eat. If you eat junky food your sinus problems are going to be worse.

There are many many nutrients that are important for health. These nutrients can be supplemented to a diet. Now you can either supplement a good diet or supplement a bad diet. Which strategy do you think is more effective? It is a sad fact that many people who do supplement are in fact eating a bad diet most of the time. This guarantees that the nasal cells will not be healthy. Even if you do use a good nasal saline solution you will not have a good outcome in the long run.

Research has shown that there are many different nutrients that are absolutely essential for the cells of the body to be healthy. All of these nutrients affect the immune system. If one is low, the cells are not as good as they could be. If more than one is low there is even more dysfunction. Research has focused more on some nutrients than others so the ones that have the proof behind them tend to get more attention. But all of the nutrients that have been shown by research to be essential for the cells are key to the health of the nose, especially when they are supplemented on top of a good diet.

So as a summary, there are many different things that affect the health of the nasal passages and the sinuses. Even though one is more likely to think about nasal saline solution when you're having symptoms, I believe the most important of these various aspects of having a healthy nose is nutrition. So get your nutrition right if you want to have a healthy nose. - 32378

Adult Acne Scar Cure - The Worst Thing You Can Do

By Linda Robison

When treating adult acne scars, most people wind up with inflammed, flaky skin. Why? Because acne susceptible adult skin is hypersensitive and should treated very carefully and gently. Most acne scar healing treatments are way too harsh for mature skin and usually make the situation even worse.

While you may find countless acne scar cures and remedies on the market, many are not created for older, wrinkled, or aging skin. This is surprising due to the fact that practically 50% of adult women have problems with acne and acne scarring and over 25% of males encounter adult male acne.

Epidemiological reports from a variety of publications like the International Journal of Cosmetic Science determined that not only is there a rise in adult onset acne, but the actual acne symptoms lasts for a longer time and scars are harder to treat. A lot of people find they are searching for the best acne scar remedy well into their mid forties.

As you can imagine, this can cause much distress because not only are middle aged adults coping with wrinkles, but with acne scars too! This is why it is important to choose the right acne scar cure that's strong enough to heal scars, but not aggravate or dry out aging skin that's beginning to show signs of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and age spots.

Acne Scar Healing Remedy For Adult Acne Skin

The key problem with many over-the-counter or prescription acne scar healing products is that they have harsh chemicals like sulfur, alcohol, or benzoyl peroxide which dries out the skin and for the short term clears superficial pimples and whiteheads. However your sensitive skin "rebounds" and looks worse, drier, more wrinkled, and haggard in a couple weeks.

The best option would be to rely on a combination of top quality herbs, plant, and sea extracts such as sea kelp together with lactic acid, vitamin B5, ascorbic acid, green tea and cucumber extract. This may sound like a lot of ingredients, but they can be found in a simple two step remedy plan that includes:

1. Try a professional grade dermabrasion complex that helps to gradually peel the dead layers of skin and lightly eliminate the ropey, bumpy rough patch of scar material. Plus, as a bonus, a good dermabrasion cream will help reduce fine lines and wrinkles!

2. Using a skin "eraser" to help lighten, fade, as well as gently bleach damaged red, blotchy marks from left over scars as well as blemishes. In this step, the bonus is that you also get to lighten and diminish age spots and freckles! Another win- win for you.

The dermabrasion cream really should be utilized several times a week and the skin eraser only needs to be used about once a week. While these two therapies maybe slower than laser scar removal treatments or chemical peels, they are safer, affordable, as well as gentle and healing.

And, many people report enhanced skin tone, color, and texture after a few weeks. Scientists suspect it is due to the mixture of the dermabrasion peel and glycolic/lactic acid exfoliation which removes and renews skin cells and encourages collagen development.

Does Nasal Saline Solution Make a Difference

By Stanley Lang

This article is a review of a recent research article that looked at whether it made any difference in spraying the nose versus irrigating the nose with a nasal saline solution. The condition that was being studied was chronic sinusitis.

Chronic sinusitis is a condition where a low grade infection is going on in the sinuses. The symptoms can be pretty severe or they can be so mild that the person just thinks they have allergies. The infection may go on for weeks or months or even years.

Just to explain a little, there is a reason that the researchers were looking at whether it made a difference to add nasal irrigation to the treatment of the chronic sinus infection. The reason is that the infection will not be able to get better if the secretions blocking the sinus are not removed. The idea being studied was whether saline irrigation helped to move these secretions.

The big question the researches were looking at was whether or not it actually made a difference in using a nasal saline solution in the nose, and, if it did make a difference, whether it was important that it be a saline solution that irrigated into the the nose or whether it would work just to spray the solution into the nose.

The researchers found two different but related things. Not surprisingly they found that the nasal saline solution was helpful in treating the symptoms of a chronic sinus infection. Based on what we know about what is happening with a sinus infection this is not unexpected. What they also found, however, was that it did make a difference whether you used the nasal saline solution as an irrigation rather than as a spray---even if it is the exact same ingredient.

So to recap. It does make a difference if you use a nasal saline solution to irrigate your nose if you have a chronic sinus infection. It not only helps to use this kind of nasal solution, it actually helps to use the solution as an irrigation tool compared to just using the spray. So if you have this condition, you likely have a real benefit in using the nasal saline solution as an irrigation.N - 32378

Rosacea Natural Treatment-1 Simple Treatmnet People Overlook

By Linda Robison

There are a lot of rosacea treatments currently available, though the finest rosacea natural treatment ought to address the actual underlying causes of rosacea. The actual problem using the majority of traditional medicines is they only treat the particular symptoms associated with rosacea, not the main cause.

Furthermore, numerous rosacea remedies contain unpleasant ingredients like propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, and benzyl alcohol!! Exactly how should cure rosacea with such noxious annoying ingredients. Additional ingredients claim that they can hydrate or even moisturize the skin, but only include pore clogging mineral oils. So your skin might feel great for a very short time, but in the long run, you wind up triggering a lot more damage to your skin and worsen your rosacea symptoms and condition.

For this reason I firmly think as well as suggest only natural therapies that truly work to regulate your condition as well as cure the skin. There's two easy steps for dealing with rosacea naturally......this includes a topical as well as internal treatment. The 2nd part is what a lot of people ignore - and that's why these people don't obtain the results they anticipated for. As a wellness advisor over 30 years, I've seen much success by using this two step procedure.

I have found that by using specific supplements and nutrients in a unique blend/dosage many people suffering from rosacea or just damaged, aging skin get great results.....sometimes after as little as 25 days. Actually, these nutrients assist with one of the most common symptoms associated with premature aging like:

skin thinning

broken blood vessels

uneven pigment, freckles, dark spots

dullness

That's because certain nutrients which include; Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, and Vitamins A, C, and E are powerful antioxidants and are also known for their capabilities to help fight off environmental stressors, promote healthy cell regeneration, and help promote a healthier complexion.

I've found that by using the two phase rosacea strategy, like using a daily along along with a natural organic topical product for treating rosacea has brought about incredible results for even the worst of rosacea instances. And speaking of topical rosacea products....there are several things you should look for when selecting your remedy.

1.The product should contain natural anti-inflammatory botanicals to help decrease visible flushing as well as redness by constricting blood vessels near the surface of your skin.

2. It ought to include natural bacteria battling agents to help kill any kind of causative bacteria on the surface of the skin to prevent the breakouts that often come with rosacea.

3. Finally, it should have natural collagen boosters. This is important because collagen networks within the skin are often weakened in people who suffer from Rosacea. It is crucial that your collagen networks are kept strong because they'll naturally weaken as you age. So increasing them is essential in preventing flare-ups as well as making your skin heal more quickly.

By Rai Micht

All natural toothpastes has been acquiring ample awareness lately. And when commercial toothpastes get scrutinized for their persisting aftereffects, the majority are looking into natural toothpastes a lot more passionately. Want to understand what enables natural toothpaste to be so great? It is the ingredients. All natural toothpastes are made primarily of mint oils, which are exclusively natural and implement great bacteria killing effectiveness. Because of these ingredients, there can be several advantages of natural toothpaste which you would obtain easily and effectively.

All natural toothpaste adds just as much cleaning result as chemical loaded toothpaste. Many of the true cleaning of the food and debris which clings on the teeth arises the act of brushing rather than the toothpaste, anyway. What toothpaste accomplishes that's really critical is kill the germs that makes bad breath and gingivitis.

Most natural toothpastes contain mint and other herbs. Mint oils are actually the most effective ingredient for killing germs in the mouth. The advantages of natural toothpaste comes from having more mint and herbal oils than regular toothpaste, so they actually kill more germs than the toothpaste you buy at the drugstore. And, many of them are very concentrated, so you use far less toothpaste than before.

Killing bacteria is the most important function of toothpaste, since bacteria on the teeth is what leads to a buildup of plaque and bad breath. Natural toothpastes also usually contain some sort of gum, such as acacia gum as a binder. They may contain a mild natural abrasive, as well. But, if they're truly all natural, they have no harmful ingredients giving you more advantages of natural toothpaste.

If you are still asking for more evidence of the advantages of natural toothpaste, then here's another reason. Other than killing bacteria, your toothbrush does most of the work in removing food and debris from the teeth. So, using toothpaste with superior bacteria protection should be the most important aspect of choosing your toothpaste.

One of the the beneficial advantages of natural toothpaste is that it cleans the teeth and freshens your breath without using dangerous chemicals. There are numerous toxic ingredients in common toothpastes, such as sodium laurel sulfate, which is a detergent and is a known skin irritant. Regular toothpastes also often contain saccharin, which is associated to cancer in laboratory rats. Even the fluoride that we have always considered as healthy for our teeth is a chemical which may be poisonous in big amounts. Adults have more to fear from fluoride than to gain.

Using natural toothpaste is also a great way to prevent the gum disease gingivitis. Because this disease is caused directly by the germs that build up in the mouth, better germ killing equals less chance of gingivitis. The mint oils used in high concentration in natural toothpastes are the best way to rid your mouth of germs. They also do a better job of getting rid of bad breath, so the advantages of natural toothpaste are an especially good choice for people with severe halitosis problems. - 32378

Changing To Gluten Free Cooking

By Wendy Mackerson

A disorder in the digestive system that affects children and adults is celiac disease. Any food that contains gluten will damage the small intestine and it interferes with the absorption of the nutrients in the food. The protein in the certain grains is disastrous to a person's condition. Gluten in the smallest form can cause health problems. Gluten is found in barley, wheat, and rye and someone living with celiac disease cannot eat foods containing those ingredients. They will have to learn gluten free cooking and begin new eating habits.

It is difficult to diagnose celiac disease. Symptoms may never appear, or something may trigger symptoms (such as surgery) and by chance, you discovered this condition. This is why celiac disease takes awhile to diagnose if it ever is. Maybe a family member has a severe case so then the rest of the family is tested and others find out they too has the disease. Once you have been diagnosed, it is time to change your eating habits.

Doctors will advise someone that is diagnosed with celiac disease to change their eating habits. Staying away from certain products is necessary to stay healthy. It seems rather difficult to keep away from foods like cake, pizza, dressings and sauces. The more someone practices and lives this new way of gluten free cooking, it will become easier.

Changing your eating style may be frightening. You may think you won't be able to cook gluten free foods but once you gain some experience gluten free cooking will not be a big deal. The key is to keep it simple when cooking foods with no gluten

Now that you have to alter the way you eat in order to help your condition, you might want to learn about the grains and starches you are allowed to eat and the ones you have to stay away from. One thing you will start doing is substituting wheat, rye and barley. For instance, someone dealing with this condition will want to always have some gluten-free baking and pancake mix in your home. You can use it to make meals such as pizza and thicken soups and sauces.

Someone with celiac disease should look at food labels at the grocery stores to make sure there is no gluten. They should also stay away from any food that is processed. Contacting the manufacturer of a product that you are unsure is gluten free is also a good idea.

If you need to know gluten free cooking, a tip or suggestion is to have a gluten free cookbook on hand. Local libraries will have books for this type of cooking. Go on the Internet also to find other recipes, be sure the website is a known website so you are sure the ingredients are ok.

Having celiac is not a life-changing condition. You are just substituting one ingredient for another. There may be fewer selections when eating at a restaurant but there will be selections and you will just choose from that menu. As soon as you stop eating gluten, your body starts to heal and changing to gluten free cooking is worth the results. - 32378

Activated Carbon in HEPA Air Purifiers

By Harry Pinello

Are you an aquarium hobbyist, or own a water purification system? If not, chances are you have no idea what activated carbon is, or what it could possibly do in HEPA Air Purifiers. Even if the concept itself isn't totally foreign, you probably still don't know exactly what it does.

How Is Active Carbon Used In HEPA Air Purifiers?

Choosing HEPA air purifiers is often the first time most people encounter activated carbon. They begin their search because of allergies or asthma, but they have no real idea how these machines work. As they look deeper, they'll start to learn that odors and chemicals are what's actually causing the vast majority of the issues they're trying to remedy. Most quality HEPA air purifiers are designed to eliminate allergens as well as odors and chemicals in the air. This is where the activated carbon comes in.

How Was Activated Carbon Used Before HEPA Air Purifiers?

Oddly enough, we humans have been using activated carbon to filter water for a long time; as long as two centuries. Way back then, they already knew of activated carbon's great absorption qualities. Beginning in the early 1900's, activated carbon was produced and sold commercially in the form of a powder. Only used to remove taste or smell from water or color from sugar, we really didn't know at that point exactly what all it could do for us. Once World War I was in full swing, it was discovered that it could be used in gas masks for protecting our soldiers from the chemical agents in the air. The soldiers also used it, as did their ancestors, for water purification. By this point, commercial activated carbon had evolved from powder form to a granular form, which was the beginning of activated carbon being used in even more other ways.

What Does "Activated" Mean?

Most people have a general idea of what carbon is - it's a mineral. The most basic example would probably be charcoal. Activated carbon is what you get after heat is used on the carbon to drive all of the impurities out, leaving room for more to take their place. Think of it as a sponge, only instead of using pressure to extract the contents, we're using heat. Once the activated carbon is full, it can actually be reactivated by re-heating, though this is considered by most to be both impractical and dangerous. So, in this case, activated basically means empty.

Different Types Of Activated Carbon

Basically, yes. Though there are different types of activated carbon, and it's often described in various ways, all activated carbon is nothing more than amorphous carbon-based materials. These materials all have many holes, also known as a high degree of porosity, which cover a relatively large surface area. This is what gives the material such awesome absorbent quality, enabling it to work so extremely well in filtering both air and water. - 32378

By Jonny Woods

There are so many triggers for allergies, and allergens are all around us. Some are related to dust and pollen, and other triggers can be from pets. Do you know what you're actually allergic to? Here are some of the allergy symptoms caused by animals.

You may realize that you have an allergy to dogs or cats because when you get near them, you'll star to experience nasal congestion as well a runny nose. The symptoms are quite similar to viral symptoms such as the flu, but with the flu, the symptoms persists for about a week but with allergies, they disappear rather rapidly.

You might also develop itchy eyes if you pat a dog and touch your eyes after. To stop this from happening, always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after play with any pets. Despite popular belief, it isn't the dog or cat's hairs that cause our immune system's to be trigger, it is in fact the dander of the creature.

What exactly is dander? The majority of animals constantly shed skin, just as we do and they're microscopic in size. The allergic reactions arise when we inhale these tiny particles of animal skin.

If one of your family members owns a dog, you might want to ask him or her to retrain the dog and not allow it to climb on the household furniture. Also, make sure you clean the house often as well as steam clean the carpets on a regular basis to reduce the severity of allergic reactions.

If you're considering owning a pet anytime soon but you know you have an allergy to dander, then look for specific breeds that do not shed as much skin. Look on the internet for information on hypoallergenic pets and you will find a huge list of animals that you can include in your home safely.

If you already have a pet and you really don't want to give it away, consider installing an air cleaner in your home to reduce airborne contaminants such as pet dander.

There are several types of purifiers in the market and you might find small portable air cleaners for your room, and larger units for the entire house. - 32378

Goose Down Vs. Down Alternative Fiberbeds For Allergies

By Ben Warrens

Although a good mattress and a good comforter are essential for a comfortable night's sleep, the addition of another soft, insulating layer beneath the occupant of the bed can substantially improve comfort, as well as insulate when the ambient temperature is very low.

The fiberbed is such a product which sits between the bed and the sleeper. It's a cross between a thin portable mattress and a comforter. It has the softness of a comforter, but is laid upon the bed beneath the sleeper. Generally, it's a bit stiffer than a down comforter because of the addition of top feathers.

While quite a lot of people want to try out the fiberbed, the problem is that these people are allergic to irritants in the fill. The irritants can come from the water fowl which are the source of the down undercoat, or from dust-mites which coexist with people. Dust-mites have been established as a leading producer of allergens that accumulate in bedding.

The solution to such issues lies in the use of down alternative fiberbeds. Down fill actually has a surprising number of substitutes or similar substances. Good down alternatives must have three of the unique properties of down: great insulating power, light-weight, and high loft (or softness). In the case of synthetic fills, polyester is the favored material. In the case of natural fills, silk is likely to be the favorite. A famous example of a synthetic is Primaloft, which comes quite close to down in terms of its weight-to-loft ratio.

In addition to the possibility of reducing allergens, down alternative fiberbeds are also priced lower than down. This is because synthetics can be manufactured in greater volume and at lower cost. Harvesting down from water fowl is labor intensive, as well as time intensive. For example, raising water fowl takes months at least, whereas culling wild ones requires seeking them out. The prices of down alternatives are not fixed either. There are low cost varieties and premium varieties which vary in their closeness to reproducing the properties of down.

When purchasing a down alternative fiberbed, be aware that there are different kinds of stitching designs that have an impact on how the long-term loftiness of the fill. A box-type stitching creates small compartments that keep the fill separated, preventing it from bunching up. Shaking out the fiberbed once a week will also help keep the fill evenly distributed.

Finally, caring for a down alternative fiberbed is convenient. A simple detergent and a regular washing machine will do the trick. There's no need for special cleaning agents, and dry cleaning is reserved for but a very small segment of the down alternative fiberbed market. - 32378
