Getting Back to Normal - Try a Gluten Free Diet

The only way to treat gluten sensitivity is to eliminate gluten from your diet.

 

If you suffer the chronic symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation why not try a gluten free diet for 90 days and see if you have any relief. You may find it hard at first but I can assure you that if you are gluten sensitive that you will soon feel so much better.

 

You can make your own diet up by using gluten free foods, but check with your nutritionist that it is a balanced diet. If you purchase foods from the supermarket just make sure it has on the product labelling 'gluten free', for example Country Life have bread that clearly displays 'Gluten Free'. Other products may not be that clear, so you may have to look hard.

 

If you go to a restaurant ask if they have a gluten free menu. Usually, the menu will have GF next to the meals that are gluten free.

 

Here is a list of some gluten free foods:

• Caned tuna or salmon etc. make sure it is in water
• chicken & turkey without skin
• eggs
• Fat free cheese, soy cheese & plain yogurt  
• Fresh seafood
• lean red meat, pork & veal
• Milk (if your not lactose sensitive)
• Most vegetable & fruits 
• GF Stock
• GF soy sauce or tamari sauce
• Lemon Juice, vinegar
• Natural extracts vanilla, almond & orange
• Spices and herbs
• GF biscuits
• GF cereal
• GF Cake mix

So as you can see you can eat most foods so it isn't that bad. Of course you also must avoid any other foods that you know you are allergic to.
