A gluten-free diet is quickly becoming a popular health choice for many with food sensitivities or celiac disease.
But it can be an intimidating prospect of knowing what to eat for both nutrition and for pleasure.
On Sept. 19, Cecile Gough is presenting her workshop, Take the grief out of gluten for good, at Sante Natural Food Emporium in Elora.
Gough is a Toronto-based oncology nurse and consulting hypnotist who was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2007.
“I’ve been on both sides of the fence as a nurse and a patient and now I want to pay it forward and help other people,” Gough said. “I do these talks regularly as a public service and a way to educate the general public.”
The information event is geared for people with celiac disease or a sensitivity to gluten, to share resources about living a gluten free lifestyle.
Gough will give tips on how to eat safely without sacrificing taste as well as where to find the best products and restaurants. She will discuss healthy alternatives in food choices.
The free session will be held at Sante Natural Food Emporium, located at 130 Metcalfe Street in Elora, on Sept. 19 beginning at 7pm.
