\nThis is the first and most important step on your journey to a gluten-free life. The Celiac Disease Foundation<\/a> offers a helpful list of common foods that contain gluten (pasta, noodles, bread, baked goods, cereal, and more), so read up<\/a>!<\/p>\n
\nFocusing on what you can<\/em> eat as opposed to what you\u00a0can’t<\/em> eat will feel less restricting. From rice and soy to chia and quinoa, there are so many gluten-free options as well as gluten substitutes. Check out the complete list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nNo one can help you manage your gluten-free diet every moment of the day, so learn how to spot gluten in everything you eat. Look, first and foremost, for gluten-free labels and obvious ingredients like wheat, barley, rye, or malt. However, if a label<\/a> doesn’t specify whether or not it’s gluten-free, check the allergen and ingredients list.<\/p>\n
\nBig grocery food chains will offer a ton of gluten-laden foods. Avoid the risk by shopping at organic grocery stores and health food stores as there are more all-natural, gluten-free options.<\/p>\n
\nStarting out on this journey can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Follow gluten-free bloggers like Gluten-Free Girl<\/a> or Gluten-Free Goddess<\/a> for inspo on recipes, book recommendations, and other helpful resources.<\/p>\n
