Plain grits would be gluten-free--they are just ground corn. Sometimes things are added, but even then I doubt that anything gluten-derived would be present.

Grits are good to go.

I have to say, I'm from the south. Read the label carefully. A number of the national grits brands on our shelves down here have the disclaimer in fine print - contains wheat. Hate when I see that. Why is it necessary to prostitute a great thing like grits with the evil wheat???

Anyway, good grits are made from corn, and that should be the only ingredient.

I buy Quaker grits. The ingredients are:

"white hominy grits made from corn, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid."

That's it. And apparently those ingredients after corn are all B vitamins, except for the iron obviously.

Very yummy. With butter. With cheese. With eggs and sausage. yummmmmmmmmmm (and I'm a northern gal by birth...but I have been living in Virginia for awhile now. lol)

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
