May 27, national day of the celiac

Today is May 27th and in Spain we celebrate the #NationalCeliacDay.

The celiac disease is a immune-mediated systemic diseasebasically caused by the consumption of products that contain gluten in genetically susceptible people. It is one of those ailments that seem difficult to diagnose, so the improvement of people who suffer from it is sometimes slow in coming.

The latest research links symptoms such as headachethe abdominal swellinggrowth retardation or mood disturbances, such as irritability, apathy or sadnesswith the consumption of gluten in people immunosensitive to it.

As if by 'magic', by reducing or eliminating gluten from the diet, the symptoms disappear. This is something that goes way beyond fashion, it is a vital necessity and, therefore, we must take it very seriously.

Fortunately, in recent years, social and food industry awareness of consumers who cannot eat gluten has grown and the supply of gluten-free products has increased significantly.

At Turrones y Dulces Pablo Garrigós Ibáñez We have always been clear about this. It is true that some of our flagship products, such as the Jijona nougat or the Alicante nougatare naturally gluten-free elaborations. However, we also make sure that the rest of our catalog is gluten free.

For example, the fruitésThese delicious sweet snacks made from natural fruit pulp are perfectly suitable for everyone.

The same goes for our chocolates and chocolates. We create the recipes always thinking of them as a whim that everyone can enjoy, in a guaranteed way.

Even the most traditional cakes and sweets, if it is feasible to maintain the tradition, are made in specific bakeries to ensure that there is no cross-contamination because in Pablo Garrigós Ibáñez we understand that food is not a LUXURY, it is a RIGHT.
