Abstract
Celiac disease is the chronic inflammation of small intestines due to immune response to gluten. There are no drugs to treat celiac disease and there is no cure. But celiac patients can lead normal, healthy lives by following a gluten free diet. On an epidemiological basis, celiac disease is prevalent among wheat consuming states of north India, such as Punjab, Rajasthan, U. P., Bihar, and M. P. Celiac disease is, thus, an important public health issue. In the present investigation, pearl millet and rice were used for the development of gluten free upma. Three ratios of pearl millet and rice were used along with supplementation of amaranth grains (Pearl millet:Rice 25:75, 50:50, 75:25). Results of organoleptic acceptability demonstrated that equal proportions of pearl millet and rice were the most acceptable to the panelists. Pearl millet and rice can be effectively utilized in the development of gluten free upma which will not only provide satisfaction to the deprived palates of celiac sufferers but will also help in combating the associated nutritional deficiencies of the disease.
