What Gluten free foods can i eat?
Question by Krystal T: What Gluten free foods can i eat?
I am a vegan, and i think i have a gluten allergy or Celiac disease. I want to test this out by cutting out foods that contain gluten. What can i eat? I already cut so much out of my diet that it would be even harder to just cut out all grains like pasta, oatmeal, and bread.
I want to eat foods that naturally do not contain gluten, not products where you can go to the store and but gluten free varieties. Otherwise i would not be asking this question.

all fresh foods that are not wheat, barley, rye, spelt, etc. are naturally gluten free. For carbs I eat potatoes (especially sweet and yams), quiona, buckwheat, some soy (but be careful d/t cross contamination), some corn (also cc issue).
The best place to get this information is at Celiac.com. Look at the unsafe ingredient list and go from there.
Also, no items from a “bar” or the bulk bins (cross contamination). For fresh food ideas simply search “gluten free recipies” and tons should show up.
If you really want to know, you can always have the celiac blood testing done.
Good luck and health to you!
to the person below, use tinkyada pasta. It is BETTER than wheat based pasta and whole grain ! Stay away from that sticky corn stuff! Also Shar pasta is great!
and unless your corn tortillas are specifically gluten free or you make them yourself with cert. gf corn meal (e.g. Bob’s Red Mill) you are probably glutening yourself due to cross contamination. No offence, but you might want to step your game up a bit and look into emerging information about cross contamination issues.
Also, be careful of those chinese rice crackers. Keep the wheat allergy rss feed going on your computer, if you did that you would understand the number of times “undeclared” wheat alert goes out on those products. They do NOT have the same standards as the US for food (remember MESALAMINE??) in China and you want to be VERY careful about eating that sort of thing!!
Stick with Lundeberg rice cakes and other certified gluten free products for your health and safety and fresh foods only if money is an issue.
and PLEASE tell me you are not eating generic trail mix!
Sorry to break the news to you, but you are going to need to be a bit more careful than what you are! If you can, please join a celiac support group, you sound like you can use the support!
