Gluten free foods list




Gluten free foods:

Have you developed gluten intolerance? You don’t know what to eat? Well then this article is perfect for you. Once you develop gluten intolerance you don’t really have a clue about what to do. Gluten is a protein complex found in many essential grains such as wheat, barley, maize etc. These grains are some of the key ingredients in our daily diet. This makes it hard to decide what it is that a person with gluten intolerance should eat.
There are many gluten free foods available in the markets which prove as a good substitute for the grains and other basic products with gluten. Here is a list of foods that you can eat if you have developed gluten intolerance.

      Grains
      Don’t be surprised to see this. Many grains such as millet, sorghum, and rice are considered to be gluten free foods. These foods have minimal gluten in them and thus medical specialists recommend these to the patients with celiac diseases. Development of celiac diseases is one of the key complications of gluten intolerance.  Other grains such as kidney beans, soya beans can also be consumed. One can also use flour made from nuts and millet as a substitute for wheat or corn flour. Chickpeas are another important gluten free food that can be eat at anytime of the day.

      Read the labels
      When you go to the super market be careful when it comes to buying gluten free food. Many companies have started manufacturing gluten free food for people with gluten intolerance. Thus it is very important to read the label and read the ingredients used in the product that you want to buy. 

      Fresh dairy products
      Many of the dairy products such as eggs, chicken and lamb meat can be classified as gluten free foods. One should keep in mind that these products must not be cooked with flour nor should they be breaded with the normal bread available in the market. Fish can also be consumed by the patients with gluten intolerance. Fresh milk is another major gluten free food that one can consume at any time of the day to cater for the calories needed by the individual.

      Fruits and vegetables
      One should always go for fresh fruits and vegetables to cater for the deficiencies created by no consumption of wheat and other essential grains. Vegetables such as spinach, cauliflower and turnips are a good energy source. Fruits such as melons, peaches and apricots can be consumed as deserts to eliminate the craving for cakes and tarts. One can also mix the fruit with fresh cream to make them more nutritious and tasty. One of the most suitable vegetables that a person with gluten intolerance can consume are potatoes. Potatoes have it all. They are nutritious, they are a good energy source, they give you the gluten free starch needed by your body to make glucose and most importantly they taste exceptionally good. Be it boiled mashed potatoes with cheese or baked potatoes with a bit of seasoning they always taste good.
