Gluten free shopping may weigh you down if you’re new to your gluten free diet.\u00a0 These shopping five tips will help make your diet easier to follow.<\/p>\n

Shopping gluten-free does not have to be difficult or onerous.\u00a0 It may seem that way at first, but it gets much easier with practice.\u00a0 These tips provide some handy shortcuts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Always Read Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This is the most important tip.\u00a0 It is more than a tip; it is a rule. If you have a gluten allergy, or especially celiac disease, you cannot afford to make assumptions.<\/p>\n

2. Visit the Gluten Free Section<\/h2>\n

Just about every store I go into these days has a gluten-free section.\u00a0 Make life a bit easier on yourself and see what you can replace in your regular diet with specially formulated gluten-free versions.<\/p>\n

3. Avoid Prepared Foods<\/h2>\n

Wheat is a cheap filler and prepared foods are full of cheap fillers.\u00a0 Other than gluten-free prepared foods, you’ll be frustrated if you focus on prepared foods.<\/p>\n

4. Buy Basic Gluten Free Ingredients<\/h2>\n

If you avoid prepared foods, what to buy instead?\u00a0 Fresh meat, fish, fruit and vegetables are all always gluten-free. Semi-prepared items like breaded raw fish are an exception. See the\u00a0List of Gluten Free Food<\/a> section for a growing list of ideas.<\/p>\n

5. Explore New Foods<\/h2>\n

Embrace the opportunity to discover new foods you’ve never tried before.\u00a0 There are more gluten free options than you might think, and you may pass many of them unnoticed, every time you go shopping.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Buy a Gluten Free Cookbook<\/h2>\n

You’ll find entire sections on gluten free cooking at almost any bookstore.\u00a0 Browse them and choose one you think you might like.\u00a0 This will give you new ideas and show you how to prepare your old favorites in a new gluten-free way.<\/p>\n
