San Diego Padres announce affordable and fan friendly concessions

The San Diego Padres, yesterday, announced they are going to carry Gluten-Free concessions. In the article, Garfinkel stated, "We are acting on fan suggestions by adding the Kids Meal and by introducing specific categories such as gluten-free food options."

 

Concessions include hot dogs, burgers, salad and hummus & Veggi's... I even hear they are going to have Gluten-Free Beer.

 

Way to go Padres (or whom ever decided on this)!!!

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestine. The small intestine is a 22 foot long tube that begins at the stomach and ends at the large intestine (colon). The first 1-1/2 feet of the small intestine (the part that is attached to the stomach) is called the duodenum, the middle part is called the jejunum, and the last part (the part that is attached to the colon) is called the ileum. Food empties from the stomach into the small intestine where it is digested and absorbed into the body. While food is being digested and absorbed, it is transported by the small intestine to the colon. What enters the colon is primarily undigested food. In celiac disease, there is an immunological (allergic) reaction within the inner lining of the small intestine to (gluten) that are present in wheat, rye, barley and, to a lesser extent, in oats. The immunological reaction causes inflammation that destroys the lining of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of dietary nutrients and can lead to symptoms and signs of nutritional, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies.
