If you have discovered that you need to live gluten free because of celiac disease, or if you are suffering from intolerance to the gluten in wheat or other grains, I am sure that you simply do not know where to begin. The hardest part for you may be that you think that you have to give up the foods that you love. Simply not true. It is not difficult to live gluten free every day. You do have to be cautious to avoid eating gluten in your every day diet. Understanding where the gluten is coming from is the key to living gluten free every day.

One of the first things that you need to do is look in your kitchen and see what types of foods you have. Chances are, you have a loaf of bread in your pantry, just like many households around the world. This seemingly harmless loaf of bread contains wheat and therefore has gluten in it. Yep, your favorite whole wheat bread has to go, right? Don’t be discouraged. Bread can be made from a variety of flours that do not contain gluten. The thought of giving up sandwiches is simply unthinkable, right? Keeping sandwiches on your favorites foods list is possible while still living gluten free every day.

Putting wheat free bread in your diet is one of the most important steps you can take on your way to living gluten free every day. Tapioca may not be the first thing that you think about when you think of bread, but it is not just for pudding anymore. Tapioca bread is a tasty and healthy alternative to wheat based bread. It is completely gluten and wheat free and when it is toasted, its texture and taste becomes a little bit closer to wheat bread with every bite.

What else can I do to keep living gluten free every day?

Fill your diet with fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are not lactose intolerant, do not forget to add yogurts and cheese. Think of starches as a supplement to your diet, not as a staple. If you love pasta and want to keep starch based foods at the center of you meal, try rice based pasta. They can be very similar to the taste and texture of wheat based pasta.

Living gluten free and keeping the foods that you love in your diet can be difficult when you are first getting started. If you are fortunate to live near a high end grocery store, you will have no trouble finding tasty alternatives to add to your wheat free diet.
