Ingredients to avoid?

[Breezy1]

Hi again!

Im thinking of trying the gluten free diet to see if my symptoms improve at all, since testing is difficult for me. I can’t start right away as most of the food in my house conrains gluten, and all cookware has been used for cooking with gluten foods as well. But I would like to know what ingredients to look out for when I go grocery shopping next. If anyone could give me a list or a link to a reputable source I would very much appreciate it!

Thank you!

You need to avoid anything with wheat, rye, barley or oats.  Malt is made from barley so it is out also.

It's simplest to simply avoid all processed foods to start.  Instead eat meats, veggies, nuts and eggs.  No dairy is helpful also.

As mentions a whole foods diet is best cooking stuff from scratch with just whole foods. Keep a food diary if you can, record what you make and how you make it. Many with celiac end up with not just gluten issue but the damaged system can develop other food sensitivities or intolerance to other foods. Remove dairy and oats at first too.

Oh try using microwave cookware, like Nordicware as a cheap start to replacing everything I use the omelette makers still lol, they also have grill plates with splatter covers (combo is a must), steamers, rice cookers, etc.
