Gluten Free Foods List

For a gluten free diet, the first thing you need is some gluten free flours, such as quinoa, sorghum, rice, tapioca, and teff.

It is good to have a few types of these as gluten free flour for foods work best when they are mixed, you will also nedd some guar gum or xantham gum as without these your baked goods will not stay together as well.

Next things to buy are some quality gluten free cereals like Rice Chex and Envirokids cereals, also brown rice cereal and cream of rice is good. When you go to the supermarket make sure you go to the free from area there so you can see a good range of gluten free cereals as well as wheat and dairy free foods.

Also when buying these foods make sure you read the labels and see that there is no trace of gluten through cross contamination, Look for items labeled gluten free, and steer clear if you see that a product is produced in a facility that also produces wheat.

If you want to try something new, research online to see if any gluten sufferers have tried it first, as it only takes a little gluten to cause a problem.

Eventually all this will become second nature and your gluten free lifestyle will make you feel healthier and happier.

I hope I have been of help
