The Alpha Nutrition diet revision program is gluten free and is designed to
discover a new diet that reduces immediate symptoms and reduces the long-term risk of the
disease progressing. The first phase of the Alpha Nutrition Program is an attempt to clear
symptoms. This is home science. You want to accomplish four important goals at the same
time:
-
Remove all the problems in your existing food supply
-
Add all the nutrients your body needs
-
Reintroduce the best, nourishing foods available
-
Establish a new healthier diet that will work for the rest of your life
Features of the Alpha Nutrition Program
Exclusion of wheat, rye, barley and millet are the initial steps when gluten
intolerance is suspected. The exclusion includes all the foods made with the flours of
these common grains - Durham flour, Triticale, and bulgar are all excluded. The bran of
these cereals is also excluded. A trial of an elimination diet lasting 3-6 weeks is
sufficient to experience significant improvement in most bowel conditions. Longer periods
of exclusion are required in conditions with chronic tissue inflammation, especially
arthritis, and the skin disorders, eczema, and dermatitis
herpetiformis, which sometimes requires an exclusion of several weeks before the skin
condition remits completely. Phone card from USA to Italy
We do not
consider it adequate therapy for a single food group to be eliminated on the assumption
that every other food will be well tolerated. Multiple food intolerances are common and should be
assumed, rather than assuming that gluten intolerance is the only problem
Gluten restriction should be part of a more
comprehensive dietary study, preferably in the form outlined in the Alpha
Nutrition Program. The best
dietary plans are based on what is good to eat, more than what is bad to eat! No-one wants
to be confronted with long lists of foods they must avoid. It is better to build a diet
from scratch, emphasizing the positive. There is an entire universe of foods not related
to milk, gluten-cereals, and eggs, the most common problem foods! Средняя бухгалтерская контора предоставляет бухгалтерское сопровождение предприятий в Икше
The are some features of the Alpha Nutrition
Program which need emphasis in managing Celiac
disease. The focus of a gluten-free cookery is often on replacing gluten flour in baked goods
with starches made from rice, arrowroot, potato, Soya beans, other legumes like
chickpeas and wheat starch ( the gluten proteins have been removed). While baking can
be done with these non-gluten "flours", the results are never as satisfying as
with wheat flour. Gluten is the most desirable ingredient in flour for producing bread,
and baked goods, and its absence is conspicuous.
In many respects it is easier, kinder, and nutritionally wiser to forgo the baked goods
in large measure and eat other foods. The task of changing your diet is very much like
moving to another country and culture. You may try to bring all your old habits with you,
and struggle to get all of the ingredients that you are used to forming into meals, or you
can gracefully, and with a sense of adventure try the new cuisine.
Certainly, bakery foods are delicious and tempting, but so are creatively prepared
rice, vegetable, fruit, fish, and meat meals. Even with multiple exclusions, an appealing,
varied diet is within reach if you are willing to change your eating style. The main
thing is to be inspired to create and enjoy a new cuisine that will diminish your
disturbances, sustain your interest in food, and provide balanced nutrition.
Alpha ENF: Often, full recovery involves
a food holiday. Alpha ENF
can be used as a completely absorbed, fully nourishing food-replacement. Alpha ENF can be
used to supply nutrients that may be in short supply - such as amino acids, B vitamins,
vitamins D and B12 and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc.
malabsorption, malnutrition and allergy to other foods may be hidden causes of slow
recovery and prolonged disability.
We think that proteins in general are high-risk food components in Celiac disease
and we are concerned about the adverse effects of hydrolyzed proteins. Gluten, the
proteins in wheat, rye, barley and oats are definitively excluded but other
high risk proteins are albumin from eggs and milk, globulin and casein from milk,
muscle proteins from meat, and sometimes Soya
proteins. When you begin diet
revision you avoid eating all these proteins. Their use is postponed until full recovery has been achieved.. Proteins from
vegetable sources appear to be better tolerated. Meal replacement formulas made with milk,
egg or Soya proteins should be avoided. All body-building
protein powders are avoided.
Alpha ENF avoids all the protein problems by supplying the nutrient requirement with
pure amino acids. The amino acid content of Alpha ENF will supplement or replace dietary
protein. Alpha ENF can be added to fruit and vegetable juices to make complete meals of
simple beverages and can be added to soups, or puddings after they have been cooked to increase their nutritive value. The most definitive rest and recovery technique is to take a Food Holiday.
Alpha Nutrient Formulas are gluten
free. Please note that maltodextrin, used in Alpha ENF and Alpha PMX, does
not contain gluten and is not related to barley-derived malt.
Self -Help:
The diet revision program is explained in enough detail in the Alpha Nutrition
Program Manual that an intelligent, well-motivated person can follow the steps outlined.
You order the manual with the Celiac Supplemental Text.
We recommend ordering the
Celiac Starter Pack - you will receive the Alpha Nutrition Program
Manual, the Book of Gluten and a 500
Gram bottle of Alpha ENF. The texts are available in printed course
notes or as eBooks. You can order the starter pack
with an email support option so that you can correspond with a tutor for 2-3 weeks
and have help getting started.
