What GF Folks CAN Eat

When I first became gluten-free, I was overwhelmed by the list of things I couldn't eat.

Here is a list of things GF folks can eat:

• beans
• corn
• dairy
• eggs
• fish
• fruit
• grains (buckwheat, millet, quinoa, rice, sorghum, tapioca, etc)
• herbs
• legumes
• meat
• nuts
• potatoes
• poultry
• seafood
• soy
• spices (that are labelled gluten-free--some, like curry powder, have gluten-containing additives)
• vegetables

vices we can enjoy (in moderation, of course):

• wine!
• some chocolate (check ingredients)
• coffee/tea

Here are the ingredients to avoid:

• wheat (wheat protein, bulgur, semolina, spelt, durum, kamut, graham, farina, couscous, matzoh) The only exceptions to avoiding the word "wheat" are buckwheat and wheatgrass.
• wheat starch
• barley and malt
• triticale
• rye

See! The list of what we can eat is longer!
