Getting Enough Whole Grains

I've been gluten-free for 6 months now and am feeling great. I've always been nutrition conscious (perhaps because I was trying to figure out why eating made me feel so bad!), and I'm now having a hard time getting the suggested amount of whole grains in my diet without wheat/gluten products. I feel like most of our cereals are basically simple carbs. A person can only eat so much brown rice! Any nutritious, whole-grain, food suggestions from your experience??

Thanks

Buckwheat and flaxseed are my favorites. You can get it at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. They taste good and are much more nutritious than any of the other whole grain poisons out there.

Quinoa is another good one. It's high in protein and lots of other nutrients too. Makes a quite tasty cold salad with some chopped up veggies and lemon juice and oil.

Millet is another one.

If you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, you really don't need all that much in the way of whole grains - you can get plenty of healthy complex carbs from that produce. But there is a wide variety of gluten-free grains that you can have, though some may be harder to find that others. Some that I have around the house: quinoa, millet, buckwheat, rice, and teff.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
