Eating Gluten-Free

Some of you may or may not be already eating Gluten-Free. If  already are or even if you haven't started this will be a refresher and make sure your on the right foot. First thing you want to look at his your "Grains" these will be the biggest area where you want to make sure they are gluten free. Now grains can be in anything from your cereals to gravies. Watch out in breads,bars, breading, gravies, cereals, crusts, soups, hotdishes, condiments, french fries, pastas, etc. Some grains that will be acceptable to most will be millet, quinoa, amaranth, teff, g/f oats,sorghum, brown rice, white, rice, tapioca, fava bean, garbanzo bean. If your not sure avoid or call the company that manufactures the product and ask them, however make sure you have that it writing somewhere. Don't take there word for it.
There is alot of hidden items in foods that contain gluten examples, flavorings, textured things,natural flavorings, preservatives,etc. A couple more things that contain gluten can be your vitamins, and for the ladies cosmetics and yes even lipsticks.
