New Wave of Technology Opens Doors to Celiac Sufferers Worldwide
Somewhat unintentionally, the iPad and the iPhone are changing the way in which celiac sufferers cook by providing increased accessibility to an abundance of gluten-free recipes. By cooking in tandem with the intentions of Mother Nature, celiac sufferers need never worry about accidently consuming gluten or being short of something delicious to cook again.

In the US alone more than 2 million people suffer from celiac disease, and as many as 1 in 22 people are thought to be undiagnosed. This escalating figure has increased the demand for instant, gluten-free recipes at the touch of a button, and this demand is being met by a somewhat unwitting source. The iPad, and indeed the iPhone, are providing an unintended aid for celiac sufferers worldwide who require daily access to gluten-free meals.
Previously the avoidance of gluten based foods has proved very challenging for celiac sufferers and those with gluten sensitivity. However, the emergence of the iPad has revolutionized the way recipes are accessed in the kitchen and a growing number of celiac sufferers are turning to PDF cookbooks for practical, healthy meal time solutions.
Amidst the plethora of diets and eating guides available on the market there is one diet in particular that appeals greatly to celiac sufferers. The paleo diet, popularly referred to as ‘the caveman diet’, is a way of eating that best mimics the diet of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts combine to provide the body with every nutrient required for optimum health. The paleo diet appeals to celiac sufferers because it not only avoids gluten but because it offers immense health benefits. Author of the Paleo Cookbooks, Nikki Young explains, “The paleo diet is strictly gluten-free, and not just perfect for those with celiac disease, but also those looking to take their health one step further. Eliminating gluten is one thing - and a great achievement at that - but to truly create peak body performance and live a long and healthy life you need to start listening to Mother Nature, and that means providing the body with the nutritionally rich foods it thrives for everyday.”
The paleo diet not only excludes gluten, but all grains, including non-gluten grains. The paleo diet implements the diet nature intended us to follow, not the artificially adapted modern day diet that is consistently cited for causing health problems such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Cooking is a pleasurable and rewarding experience, but for celiac sufferers there is always the worry of ensuring that meals are gluten-free. However, PDF cookbooks such as the Paleo Cookbooks allow celiac sufferers to cook worry-free and access recipes via their iPad or iPhone in any kitchen at any time. The Paleo Cookbooks contain over 300 gluten-free recipes catering for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. There is even a range of desserts for those worried about satisfying their sweet tooth.
PDF cookbooks rival traditional cookbooks in that they are also capable of including full artwork and step by step instructions. In addition to this, the iPad and iPhone both offer further benefits to the user by allowing fast page scrolling and cookbook downloading on demand.
Searching for gluten-free meals is no longer a hassle, and even for those without celiac disease a gluten-free diet is becoming a popular lifestyle choice, as Nikki Young observes, "A lot of people are following a paleo diet and being cautious in avoiding foods such as gluten, because they know of the harmful effects that can take place in the body, and the simply do not want to wait until their health has been sacrificed before they decide to make positive changes in the way they eat."
With the iPad and iPhone providing extensive, instant access to recipes from sources such as the Paleo Cookbooks, it seems nonsensical that people would continue to eat unhealthy and avoid foods naturally designed for our digestive system and our health.
