By Faryn Clark


Almost everyone has heard about "gluten-free" and, we often see some of the labels telling that the product contains no gluten. Gluten-free diet has long been in our midst, but it just recently gained its popularity to the masses because of its tremendous health benefits.

Did you say gluten-free diet?

Simply put, a diet that does not involve any food having protein gluten. Any food that may contain such substance is prohibited like barley, rye and bread. Originally, this diet plan is designed for people who suffer from celiac disease.

Unlike what most people think, gluten-free diet is never hard to follow. We have already eaten a lot of gluten-free foods in our diet. The only thing is that we are not aware that those foods are gluten-free. Manufacturers are even aware of the popularity that this diet plan has reached, which is why they have started to produce gluten-free alternatives such as breads and pasta.

So, the following are some of the foods that naturally contain no gluten. You may take them regularly depending on what your physicians have told you.

1. Nuts, seeds, and beans

2. Fish and meat

3. Egg

4. Dairy products

5. Green vegetables and fruits

Nevertheless, you still need to check the label to ensure that you are not eating products or foods with gluten mixture. The above foods are susceptible to cross-contamination if you take checking the label lightly and where you bought them.

Now, get rid of the following products as they are rich in gluten:

- Rye

- Barley

- Triticale

- Triticale

These products or foods are rich in vitamins and minerals but you must remove them from your daily diet otherwise; your celiac will not be cured (if you have any). Take supplements containing the vitamins and minerals that the above products have.

Is there an alternative?

There are many alternatives available in the market. All you have to do is check on the label and see if they fit to your taste. The following are some of the most common alternatives that you may want to get rid of:

This diet is easier and achievable compared to any diet programs for we have already been consuming gluten-free products unaware - starting your gluten-free diet means removing old favorites and welcoming new foods without depriving yourself from the vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
