Being told you have to eliminate an entire food group can be super overwhelming. Gluten specifically can be hidden in so many foods. Luckily, since there was the gluten free craze there are a lot of alternatives. With any dietary restrictions, always read the labels! Any product that contains wheat, barley, rye, brewer's yeast, malt or oats contains gluten. Not all wheat free products are gluten free.
Here are some of my favorite alternatives:
` Udi's gluten free bread (cheapest at Costco). Tip: always toast gluten free bread or it gets soggy
` Barilla pasta. Holds together better than pure rice pasta.
` Coors peak beer
` Mission gluten free tortillas Tip: be sure to pan fry first or they will fall apart.
` Namaste organic gluten free flour (from Costco)
` Heinz ketchup
Be prepared to make your seasonings from scratch, there are a lot of hidden ingredients. (recipes to follow)
When shopping, stay away from processed food. The easiest way is the stay on the outside of the grocery store. Fresh food does not contain gluten.
