Gluten Free living
Gluten is found in the following foods:
- Barley
- Malt or malt flavoring (can be made from barley)
- Malt vinegar (made from barley)
- Rye
- Triticale
- Wheat (durum, graham, semolina, kamut, spelt)
Wheat in particular should be avoided as it is difficult to digest and it is
really high in pesticides.
Eliminating Wheat from your diet will not be easy. It is really in
everything:
- pasta
- soy sauce
- sauces
- bread
- cereal
When changing over to a gluten free diet, I first found it easier not to try
to replace these items. Nothing really compared (at the time) to a good
piece of bread.
Since I gave up gluten 3 years ago, I hardly miss it. I would never
believe I would be saying that since my staple diet was sandwiches, pasta for
dinner and a bagel or muffin for breakfast.
