Did you know that, in this day and age, it is unlikely that there is anyone in the world who does
not have a relative, friend or acquaintance with celiac disease, but many do not understand
what it is or how it is treated.
Thanks to Mother Nature, nowadays we have natural and organic products such as Cassava
Flour, Amaranth and Quinoa Powders. Among its many benefits is being an excellent
replacement for traditional flour such as wheat and that can be consumed by celiacs.
What is Celiac disease? It is a medical condition that affects the immune system by
damaging the small intestine. Its considered one of the most widespread digestive disorders
worldwide, as well as one of the most common genetically transmitted diseases. About 1% of
the population in Western countries suffers from it, mainly in Europe and North America.
Treatment consists of a gluten-free diet, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. When a celiac
person eats gluten, his or her immune system reacts by damaging the mucosa of the small
intestine, causing inflammation, lesions and preventing proper absorption of nutrients.
Therefore, KC’s Pantry aims to offer delicious and healthy products, which can be used daily in
every home to lead a healthy life.
