Deliciously Gluten-Free fresh baked goods!

So why open a bakery that’s gluten-free?

My family and friends saw me as a sickly, picky kid. I would order a meal, take one bite and start to feel sick. This has continued into my adulthood. My husband has had many frustrating cooking moments with me. We would cook some complicated, romantic, gourmet dish, and I would take one bite, feel sick and want nothing to do with the food.

Then I got a stomach bug, and with the advice of my doctor to eat bland foods such as pasta and bread (which would normally be helpful), I ended up in the hospital. After months of testing and seeing specialists, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac Disease.
According to the Celiac Disease Foundation [www.celiac.org], Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong inherited autoimmune condition affecting children and adults. When people with CD eat foods that contain gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can affect those with CD and cause health problems.
Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with Celiac Disease. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat and the related grains rye, barley and triticale and MUST be eliminated.
My husband and I spent six hours that first day grocery shopping (after being diagnosed with CD) just to end up back at home with nothing to eat. I hope to make fresh baked gluten-free foods readily available.

Six years later, I have a beautiful two-year-old who, unfortunately, has inherited Celiac Disease from me. I am constantly looking for healthy, great-tasting options for both of us. I have always enjoyed cooking. It has been a dream of mine to one day own and operate a restaurant. I thought CD had prevented that dream from becoming a reality … until now! I love creating mouth-watering goodies that just happen to be gluten-free.

Welcome to Ana’s Bakery … where everything is deliciously gluten-free!
