Gluten Free Food List

gluten free food list below

taboo list!

Eating fresh, unprocessed foods isn't difficult, however, it may take a little longer to prepare and cook meals; but what a small price to pay for good health?

Much of the food that is included in a "normal" diet nowadays is junk food. If it is packaged in any way, check the ingredients to see if it is gluten free! This isn't always as simple as it sounds as manufactures are good at hiding gluten under various other names.

I wonder if the people that decided to originally grow wheat and grind it into flour could have ever thought what a big part it would play in the diet of the future.

The list of gluten free foods below show items that are safe to eat. You can also buy special gluten-free foods online. Two books may also prove useful when you are shopping. They are the Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2008-2009 or Cecelia's Marketplace Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide.

If you have a PDA you may find the Gluten Guard programs, available from the Gluten Free Mall useful. They include a years worth of updates and make it super easy to check on something while you are out doing your gluten free shopping. There is a version for Pocket PC's and also one for those of us that use Palm Handhelds.
