Gluten-Free Foods List – Safe Foods For Gluten Allergies

This is a re-post from a while ago but thought it would be helpful for those following a gluten-free diet. 

So, I recently decided to try going gluten-free.  I have to admit, it’s not very easy.  I’ve been confused about what I can and can’t eat. It’s hard looking at labels and figuring out if it’s a gluten-free product.

Gluten-Free Foods List – Safe Foods for Gluten Allergies

Celiac.com has a Safe Gluten-Free Food List.  It’s a long list of gluten-free ingredients.  Carry this with you or bookmark on your phone so you can check for gluten-free ingredients while shopping.

It’s quite interesting.  I know to avoid wheat, but I wasn’t sure what other grains to avoid.  According to this Gluten-Free Ingredients List, these surprising foods are gluten free::  quinoa, corn, rice, seeds (except wheat, rye & barley), polenta, grits, whey, yeast, and more.

So yes, quinoa, corn, rice, whey, grits, and polenta are gluten-free.

I’m still trying to figure out if wheatgrass is gluten-free. Does anyone know this? A lot of the green juices have wheatgrass and barley grass in them, but I’m not sure if those are gluten-free.

So, if you are looking for a gluten-free oatmeal alternative, try quinoa. You can prepare it and use it like oatmeal. Add fruit, syrup, etc. and make a yummy breakfast out of quinoa.  Check out Molly Robson’s Oatmeal Alternative Quinoa for Breakfast ideas.

I’m going to try it out and let you know how it goes.
