Gluten Free/ Dietary Conditions
Gluten Allergies is a typical example that people need a special dietary control for their daily meals
Coeliac diease is an immune mediated disorder that is triggered by eating food containing gluten. Gluten is a protein that is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and oats. Trying to find good food to eat when you are on a gluten free diet is not only hard to find, but is also expensive.
The Thermomix helps overcome this, allowing people to make their own gluten free food fast and also for a fraction of the cost. The gluten free community has fallen in love with the Thermomix so much, that a complete gluten free cookbook was made just for the Thermomix. Make gluten free chocolate cakes and muffins right at home without having to worry about any added preservatives or what exactly is going into the food. Check out some of the testimonials below from people with coeliac disease who had their lives changed after using the Thermomix.
