• Is eating gluten-free a healthy move? Is the
  gluten-free diet only for people with coeliac
  disease? Can gluten-free foods help lose weight?

  surrounding the gluten-free diet. While more and
  more people are getting into gluten-free living,
  varied researches have shown a sudden increase in
  the patients with gluten allergies and
  sensitivity.

  gluten-free diet may not bring satisfying

  that is why knowing the ground rules before you

• Know if you have coeliac disease.
• It is important to figure out whether its the
  urge to follow the diet trend that most people
  are into or you really need to go gluten-free.
• If you suspect that you have coeliac disease or
  gluten sensitivity, you must talk to your doctor
  before simply giving up gluten-free eating.
• You dont have to say no to grains altogether
• The gluten-free diet doesnt necessarily mean
  youve to get rid of all grains and cereals.
  While you need to completely avoid wheat and
  gluten containing grains, there are plenty of
  naturally gluten-free cereals and grains you can
  reply on including buckwheat, quinoa, millet and
  amaranth. Not to forget, fruits, vegetables,
  cheese, eggs, poultry fish and meat are great
  alternatives.

• Read food labels when shopping.
• Pay attention to the ingredients list and labels
  on the packaged foods to pick foods that are
  suitable for your gluten free diet. It is
  necessary that you be cautious when reading
  labels as there are foods, especially snacks that
  are labelled gluten-free but arent actually.
• Go for gluten-free substitutes of your favourite
  foods.
• No matter how much youre into crackers, pasta
  and breads, you need to keep your distance.
  However, you dont have to kill your cravings and
  palate altogether. Rather, you can opt for
  healthy substitutes like quinoa bar, muesli,
  gluten-free chocolates snacks and trail mix.

• Prevent cross contamination.
• When diagnosed with coeliac disease, you must
  maintain a 100 gluten-free diet. Even a small
  bit of gluten can cause symptoms and increase
  risks. Keep you gluten-free foods separately and
  clean the kitchen surfaces before cooking to
  avoid cross contamination.
• Going gluten-free may seem challenging at first,
  but with the right information and knowledge, it
  can not only be easier to adapt to but also you
  can turn results in your favour.
• So, follow the guidelines above and diet your way
  to a happy, healthy gluten-free life.
