Children's Prize main characters. The series “Fairytale Patrol” received the “Main Characters” award

Porridge is the product of the first main complementary food. Many people know that there are cereals containing gluten. But only some parents know what danger this substance can pose to their baby. When can you offer your child gluten porridge and which cereal is best to choose for complementary feeding? We will try to answer these questions in this article.

What is gluten?

Before you figure out which cereals are gluten-free, you need to learn more about the consequences that their consumption may entail.

Gluten or gluten is a special protein of cereal crops. It is he who is responsible for such properties of cereal as ductility, elasticity and stickiness. Present in all cereals that can be offered to a child as complementary foods, except rice, buckwheat and corn.

One of the main components of plant protein is gliadin. It is he who has a damaging effect on the epithelium of the small intestine. The mechanism of this effect is not completely clear, but the exact connection between intestinal damage and gluten is beyond doubt.

Gliadin binds to cells of the intestinal mucosa, lymphocytes and other immunocompetent cells. This causes destruction of the epithelial lining with the development of areas of atrophy - gluten enteropathy develops. With the complete elimination of gluten-containing foods, the intestines gradually recover.

The main symptoms to determine gluten intolerance are as follows:

• Decreased appetite;
• Slowing down the rate of weight gain;
• Moodiness, aggression, sleep disturbances;
• Increased abdominal circumference due to weight loss;
• Liquid, fatty, copious stools;
• Decreased muscle tone;
• Loss of previously acquired skills;
• Edema;
• Anemia, increased bleeding;
• Pathological fractures that occur for no particular reason;
• Hair loss, dry and brittle nails;
• Convulsive syndrome.

Symptoms of intolerance do not appear immediately, but after a couple of months. The disease usually manifests itself at 6-8 months. This disease is hereditary and does not occur in all children.

When can gluten cereals be introduced into complementary foods?

Based on the above, there is no need to rush into introducing gluten-free cereals into your baby’s diet. You can offer your child such a product only after he has mastered gluten-free grains (rice, buckwheat, corn).

The timing will depend on when complementary feeding is started. Introducing foods other than breast milk or an adapted mixture occurs from 4.5-6 months. But many experts recommend not introducing gluten-containing grains before 7-8 months.

There is no need to rush into eating cereals for complementary feeding. In any case, the approach must be individual. A week is enough for one child to master a new product. And the other one is missing two. Therefore, it is important to monitor the child’s reaction to new food and, in case of any deviations, postpone the introduction of a certain product for a while.

Which gluten porridge to choose for the first feeding?

As it turned out, gluten porridge is not suitable for first feeding. Cereals containing gluten are introduced only after cereals that do not contain it.

It is better to start introducing gluten porridges with oatmeal or wheat. These cereals are very nutritious and have an optimal composition of macro- and microelements. Mucous structure oatmeal gently envelops the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, protecting it from the effects of harmful substances.

For a long time in the past, the most popular cereal that was introduced first was semolina. But as they show Scientific research, they are not as rich in important nutrients as other grains and contain a large number of gluten free It is better to offer it to your baby closer to the age of one year.

Ecology of consumption. Food and drinks: More and more new products are appearing in our market, in health food stores, including cereals...

More and more new products, including cereals, are appearing in our market and in “health food” stores. Which of them can (and should) be consumed by patients with celiac disease, and which cannot?

Answers in the table and materials of the magazine “Gastronom” No. 2 (73) for February 2008.

Note from Dr. Artyomov E.M.: a categorical ban on these products applies only to patients with celiac disease. As for patients with celiac enteropathy and simply people who want to lead a healthy and comfortable lifestyle, in cases where a product is acceptable for this category of people due to its low gluten content, it is isolated green . In addition, patients with celiac disease should be aware of the presence of gluten in the germ of corn kernels. From this, by the way, follows a ban for these patients on “milk meat” - boiled ears of whole corn, canned corn grains, as well as non-industrial corn flour. In the industrial production of corn flour, the germ is removed from the grain during grinding!

Gluten free (allowed):

• Cereals: rice, buckwheat, corn, millet (millet), Italian millet (chumiza), sago, sorghum, amaranth, quinoa, montina;
• Roots: potatoes, yams (sweet potatoes), tapioca, cassava;
• Legumes: soybeans, peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas, mung beans, etc.;
• All vegetables and fruits;
• Meat, fish, eggs;
• Milk and natural fermented milk products(kefir, yoghurt, fermented baked milk, yogurt, etc.);
• Hard cheeses, except for those produced in Russia and Ukraine in violation of GOST /powdered gluten is added - gluten!/, butter, vegetable oil.

Buckwheat- a close relative of rhubarb and sorrel. This herbaceous plant comes from the mountainous regions of India, Burma and Nepal, where it began to be cultivated more than four thousand years ago. From India, “black rice” came to China, Central Asia, Africa, the Caucasus and Greece. IN Kievan Rus It was bred by Greek monks. Apparently, that’s why they began to call it “Greek” cereal. In addition to common buckwheat, there is another wild species of this plant, common in Siberia and the Urals - Tatarian buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). In Ukraine and the Volga region she is called “Tatar”.

In the southern Russian, Ukrainian and western Ukrainian regions, buckwheat is sometimes called “little letter” - for the similarity of its seeds to beech seeds. The Dutch boekweite, German buchweizen and English buckwheat names also translate as “beech wheat”. French (ble sarassin) and Italian (grano saraceno) - Saracen grain - are most likely associated with dark color grains

Millet (millet)- this ancient cultivated plant has been known to Asians and Africans for more than 5 thousand years and still remains the main food product third of the population globe. At the same time in the USA and Western Europe millet was used mainly as feed for livestock and poultry. But in last years, due to the widespread hobby healthy eating, this protein- and carbohydrate-rich cereal is beginning to enter the daily diet of Europeans and Americans, who call it by the Russian word proso.

Several types of cereals are obtained from millet: millet-dranets, i.e. whole grains, freed only from flower films. This cereal has an intense yellow, characteristic shine and bitter aftertaste. Millet polished (crushed) Contains only grain kernels that are completely purified. It is lighter than millet-dranet and does not shine. This millet is better digestible, cooks faster and is perfect for porridges and casseroles. And finally - crushed millet. This is a by-product of millet processing, namely crushed kernels.

Millet is boiled as a side dish, stewed with meat, and bread is baked from millet flour. Kazakhs love “nauruz-kozhe” - millet fermented with katyk. Ukrainians prefer kulesh - liquid millet porridge with lard, sunflower oil, cracklings, onions, garlic, herbs. In the Caucasus, until the beginning of the twentieth century, the main food was thick millet porridge - “basta”.

Amaranth. All over the world, amaranth, or amaranth, grows in warm and temperate regions and is used in ornamental gardening. And in Central and South America, its grain (more precisely, seed) species have been bred for thousands of years. In the pre-Columbian era, amaranth was a staple among the indigenous peoples of Mexico, with tons of its tiny seeds sent annually to the capital as tribute to the supreme ruler.

In the 1950s, when scientists proved the extraordinary nutritional properties of amaranth, farmers in the South, Central and even North America again “took up” the forgotten grain crop.

Amaranth contains as much protein as other grains. It is very rich in lysine, an essential amino acid for humans, which is not found in sufficient quantity everywhere.

Yellowish-brown, with a slight peppery flavor, amaranth grains are usually cooked as porridge or made into flour. Broths are seasoned with cereal and served as a side dish. In Mexico, a kind of sweet “popcorn” is made from seeds mixed with honey, and in Chile the seeds are fermented to produce “beer” - chichi.

Nutritious black, white or red flat quinoa seeds, which are high in vitamins, protein and amino acids, are used to make flour and cereals. They are used to make flatbreads, prepare porridges and even brew beer.

Beforehand, the grain is well washed and soaked, since it surface layer contains bitter substances. Beans sold in supermarkets have already undergone this procedure.

Quinoa grains are cooked in the same way as rice. When finished, they become translucent. They can be used as an additive to soups and salads, a side dish for hot dishes, and for stuffing vegetables. Quinoa is used to make pasta in the USA.

In Africa and Asia, its variety durra is grown as a fodder and grain plant, in South Africa highest value has “Kaffir sorghum” - kaffir, in the East the Chinese variety is widespread - “Kaoliang”.

From sorghum grains, rich in starch and protein, prepare porridges, and bake unleavened bread and flatbreads from flour. Molasses (“sorghum honey”) is obtained from the stalks of sweet sorghum. Sorghum is used to produce starch, beer, various alcoholic drinks and alcohol.

Sago. Initially, this was the name given to cereals made from granular starch extracted from the core of the sago palm. In Rus', where palm trees grow poorly, the word “sago” came to mean a similar-looking cereal made from potato starch, from which porridge was cooked. A special feature of sago is the virtual absence of protein.
