Eat:
- Vegetables - like green beans, broccoli, corn, brussel sprouts, zucchini, etc...
- Remember to use olive oil instead of butter
- Be careful of adding sauces, usually contain BOTH lactose & gluten
- Fruit - apples, pears, bananas, etc...
- Meat & Poultry - chicken, beef, turkey, pork
- NOT meatloaf (usually contains breadcrumbs)
- NOT anything with a breading, like chicken tenders or fried fish
- Beans - kidney beans, black beans, navy beans, etc...
- Greens - lettuce, spinach
- Most salad dressings include gluten. Making your own is really easy. See my recipe section
- Fish - cod, salmon, trout, tuna
- Don't add butter, olive oil is a great substitute
- Sushi is great - but again most sauces will not be gluten-free
- Starch - rice, potatoes, quinoa
- Sauces - making your own is the best way to go to be sure to not digest gluten or lactose
This is where it gets tough...
- Pastries - making your own is the best solution. Switch out the flour, and add xanthun gum (a powder substance. Should be next to the alternative flours)
My personal disclosure: Please use this "gluten-free" list for educational purposes only. The list should be considered solely as guidance and should never be considered as medical advice. Consumers should always consult with a physician or health care provider prior to changing or restricting their diet. Because there is no universally accepted standard definition for a gluten-free diet, you should always proceed with caution by reading food labels, consulting with your medical adviser and contacting the responsible manufacturer of the Brand product.
