What foods are allowed on a gluten free diet?

Going gluten-free is all the rage these days. Every other non-celiac person seems to be taking up this trendy diet, which means that breadcrumbs and flour can now be found in such cruelly unglamorous places as dog food advertisements.

But for those who suffer from celiac disease or have a sensitivity to gluten, cutting out gluten-containing products like bread, pasta, cakes and biscuits etc., is not simply about avoiding fads – it’s a medical necessity!

At first glance being on a gluten-free diet may seem overwhelming but with time one gets used to it. And believe me you: saying no to your favourite cake isn’t that bad if it keeps you healthy! But wait… so what exactly constitutes as “allowed” when someone is shopping around for good-tasting yet safe-for-consumption foods? This article explores just that!

No Breadcrumbs Please 😀

It’s hard enough finding food free of any unwanted additives; it gets trickier excluding certain ingredients entirely from your plates. Any wheat-based product contains barley rye or wheat: to name just three common sources of our enemy here i.e Gluten itself. Some examples include :

• Artisan breads
• Bagels
• Cakes (and I’m not talking too much about soufflé here!)
• Cookies <\3
• Croissants (I’d rather die than leave my croissant) —- Just Kidding … maybe!
  Quip Alert: Being convinced you’ll only date someone who shares your allergy before remembering how awesome pizza was.

Given so many restrictions at hand even knowing what we can eat safely can leave our brain puzzled sometimes…. So Let’s simplify things by checking some foods we should better go without.

No questions Asked.. Say NO TO WHEAT PASTA.

Let’s get straight to the major offenders we should strictly avoid in our gluten-free diet!
Wheat products are first big red flag here. This includes wheat pasta and bread, so crucial for keeping those hunger pangs at bay. But having to exclude such classics as Spaghetti Carbonara can be a little hard on the soul – Anyway that’s why ‘zoodles’ were ever invented,Yass!! 😀 So if a plate of spaghetti is calling out your name you need not worry, Satisfy all your cravings by replacing ordinary loaves with its Gluten-free alternative!

The Muesli Summit

So say bye-bye to instant-noodle-meals too (Sniff), what else one needs to ditch from their grocery list? High-End Breakfasts like cereals etc.. hold onto your cornflakes before we dive in!. While some traditional cheerio-type cereals won’t pass muster due to containing wholegrain oats or malted flakes others such as muesli has very similar ingredients with naturally glutenous grains used at times.

Good news: there are plenty of popular breakfast-lines which produce exclusive Gluten-Free versions of every kind; Just check the label under auspices 🙂
