Starting off on a Gluten-Free Lifestyle After a Celiac Diagnosis
Starting Off with Natural Alternatives
The most nutritious and cost-effective way to start off a gluten free lifestyle is to choose foods that do not contain gluten as part of their naturally occurring composition. Foods that are naturally gluten free include:
- Meat
- Poultry
- Fish
- Dairy
- Vegetables
- Fruits and berries
- Nuts, legumes, and beans.
Other ingredients to also opt for that normally don’t contain gluten include:
- Oils derived from plants and seeds (like olive oil, coconut oil and so forth)
- Herbs and spices
- Natural sweeteners like pure cane sugar, stevia, agave, honey, or monk fruit
