They will do their best to explain it here. The word "Namaste" (pronounced "Naa-Maa-Stay") is an ancient Sanskrit word with no literal translation. After many hours reviewing all the different translations, they decided they like this one the best. "The Spirit within me honors and respects the Spirit within you." The word 'Spirit' in this context has no particular religious connotation. You could substitute the word 'Heart' or 'Soul' if you like. The essence of the phrase is simply that the best part of me wishes you well - in every way. In seeking to offer you delicious gluten and allergen-free foods, they nourish the body. In nourishing the body, they hope to help nourish the mind and the spirit so you can enjoy optimum health. Frquently Asked Questions I am ordering a Namaste Foods product but wondered about the XANTHAN GUM. Their ad says corn-free. Doesn't xanthan gum have corn in it or a by product? Namaste Foods uses xanthan gum that is NOT derived from corn or corn sources. It is certified by the manufacturer to be free of all carbohydrates including corn, wheat and soy. Can a powdered egg substitute be used in place of eggs? Namaste Foods products are formulated to be used with eggs. However, they have many customers who use a powdered egg substitute with success though some amount of experimenting may be necessary. I live in high altitude and my cakes rise too rapidly and then fall in the middle. Do you have any suggestions? Baking is tricky at higher altitudes and gluten-free baking can be even more of a challenge. Just reducing the liquid doesn't do enough, the cell walls also need strengthening. The following suggestions are from folks who live at high altitudes. Try adding 1 tsp of xanthan gum and 4 TBLS of rice flour to the flour mixture. Reduce the water by 25 percent and reduce the oil by 1/3 to 1/2. Optionally you can try adding one more egg to the mix. Increasing the oven temperature by 20 degrees may be helpful as well. What is Celiac Disease? Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Celiac disease is triggered by consumption of the protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. When people with Celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the fingerlike villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment. Celiac disease is also known as Celiac Sprue, Nontropical Sprue, and Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy. Researchers have determined that Celiac disease is a genetic condition, meaning that it is inherited. In some cases, Celiac becomes active or is triggered by events such as surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress. Roughly one out of about every 100 Americans has Celiac disease, but 97 per cent remain undiagnosed. This means that almost three million Americans have celiac disease and only about 100,000 have been diagnosed. Left untreated, people with Celiac disease can develop further complications such as other autoimmune diseases, Osteoporosis, Thyroid disease, and Cancer.
