How to Eat Gluten Free

If you have been told by a doctor that you have celiac disease and must eat gluten free meals, you can learn to do so by following a few steps. While it can be difficult, you can find tasty and nutritious food that doesn't contain gluten.

Instructions

1

Learn what types of food you are not allowed to eat on a gluten free diet. The list is rather long and varied. Some items you are not allowed to eat include barley, rye and wheat. These grains are used to make a variety of foods, from cereal to cookies. Avoiding gluten in your food is the first step to a gluten free diet.

2

Shop online at a place catered toward the gluten free market. One such website is the Gluten Free Mall website, where you can order gluten free food and have it delivered to your doorstep. This is a great alternative to those who do not want the hassle of keeping track of which products do and do not have gluten.

3

Buy a gluten free cookbook from the Gluten Free Mall website (see Resources below). These cookbooks are great for people trying to avoid gluten, as they give great substitutes for everyday foods that contain gluten. With as good as some of the meals taste, you'll forget that you are on a gluten free diet.

4

Inform friends, family and coworkers that you are on a gluten free diet so that you aren't tempted by foods that contain gluten. By telling others, you can avoid situations in which you have to turn down food. Instead, others will be aware of situation and could make dishes specially prepared without gluten.
