Fermented Goodies in Indiana & Gluten Free Delights!

After my diagnosis of Celiac Disease I have been working on treating intestinal permeability, among many other things.  One very helpful item for my protocol  is fermented foods.  Hidden Pond Farms is a small local business that makes raw fermented foods.

Two of my favorites are the Ginger Kombucha and KimChi.  You can order on line for home delivery by visiting their website.

Fermented foods feed the good bacteria in the gut & aid digestion.

  Fermented foods are highly beneficial for everyone because they give you natural probiotics, which are critical for immune health.

The Sweet Beet has a great article which tells of the benefits of ferments and links for making your own.

Hidden Pond Farm is located in Centerville, Indiana

Another items on my daily regimen is ginger.....so I decided to make ginger lemonade...

1 thumb of fresh ginger

2 c. of water

Blend in Vita Mix 

add lemon juice & liquid stevia to taste

ice 

Ginger is anti inflammatory, great for digestion, warming to the body and just plain taste good!

Whole Foods has a great article on the benefits of ginger, tells you how to store it and uses.

My teenage daughter is also gluten sensitive and carries the gene allele for Celiac, therefore we have been doing a lot more gluten free cooking & uncooking.  

On Friday we made a gluten free pizza using Bob's Red Mill Gluten free Pizza crust.

I created a new cheese sauce because of our varied food intolerance's &  sensitivities.

You may also make a raw crust for your pizza & use tomato slices instead of tomato sauce and any other toppings you prefer. Mariated mushrooms & Onions are good...just soak in Bragg's Liquid Amino's or Coconut Aminos for a soy free option.  I really enjoy using sweet onion bread
