Whether it be by necessity or by choice, living the gluten-free lifestyle is a significant change for anyone to take on and accomplish.
As a response to celiac disease or numerous other gluten-related sensitivities, or because living without gluten just makes you feel better in your everyday activities, the transition to being gluten-free is one that can be long and full of questions.
Here is a list of foods and ingredients that contain gluten to help you when you’re at the food store. Take time to look at the labels of all your packaged foods BEFORE you purchase them.
Watch for gluten lurking derivatives in cereal and bread and be aware of added sugars and other inflammatory ingredients in gluten-free packaged foods.
There are great gluten-free brands out there but there are also many unhealthy gluten-free foods that line the aisles of the food store so beware.
All the best in health and beauty to you as you start and /or continue on your journey to a healthier you.
Enjoy!
