I am grain free. Diary is open.

I am gluten free and now am corn free..... which really bummed me out because I liked my corn tortillas!

I cannot eat any "gluten free" substitutes because I have found I get really sick.... so I guess I am just eating meat, fruits, and veggies...

I started feeling better about a month after I went gluten free....

You should really read Wheat Belly. It convinced me to go grain free. I had corn tortillas on vacation and was sick for a week afterwards. I had rice once and was fine but because of the carbs I don't eat it much.

I remember reading that rice is the only grain considered to by non allergic. That's why they put it in dog foods as it's supposedly safe. I know it's the only grain I tolerate easily. The other option is Tapioca (cassava/yuca) and making Spanish breads like Pandebono, Bunuelos, or others that don't include wheat - but they are based on using lots and lots of cheese - sometimes they have a small amount of corn.

I've never tried going totally grain free but it may be you need to see if the product is produced in a factory where no accidental mixing occurs. I did find out from my allergist that I have a slight allergy to corn so I don't put it in too often but I haven't eliminated it. My problem is that if you're avoiding grains, you'd be eating potato all of the time as your carb and I had a girlfriend who gained a ton of weight that way. Have you ever been tested for allergies as well as Celiacs? You could have both.

I just found this link. The only ingredient I totally disagree with is Quinoa. It may be grain free but I actually had a severe reaction to it which makes me wonder about that one. I can tell you though that you'll find that most of the grain free items they have make horrible breads. I've tried and most were horrifying when they were bean based. I just couldn't do it. I'd rather eat rice than go that route. You can do the Spanish breads but they are heavy in cheese (Farmers Cheese) but at least they do taste good. I've made them out of desperation and it stops my craving.

I am grain - free. Between the intolerances (wheat and corn among others) and diabetes (gotta watch the carbs), it was just easier to remove all grains from my life.

I try to stay grain free. My daughter is completely grain free... She is also dairy free, allergic to eggs, all nuts, and many other things. It is the hardest thing ever!
What I know is that it helps her and I feel better if I eat no grain whatsoever. So, I try my best.

Grain free is usually know as the paleo or primal lifestyle....
It's a diet consisting mostly of fruits, vegetables, free range natural fed poultry, wild caught fish, lead grass fed red meat, free range eggs. Some do dairy products, some do not.
Some do eat quinoa and brown rice, but sparingly. All foods are as fresh, natural and organic as possible. Clean eating.
I've been trying....but it's been hard. I have had a few slip ups, but I do feel lots better, less bloated without the breads and the grains.

You can be grain free without being paleo or primal, too. I am vegetarian - currently vegan - and grain free, and allergic to some nuts and other goodies. Vegan raw food diets are mostly grain free, unless you are eating sprouted or fermented grains. (I am not a raw foodist.) We are so lucky to have such a wide variety of foods available to us.

Have you tried buckwheat porridge? Either coarse-ground groats or buckwheat flakes - very nice substitute for oatmeal.

I'm grain free (except for the occasional gluten free oatmeal). I find that most grains hurt my tummy so I just stay away from them.

Is anyone here not just gluten free, but entirely grain free? I'm considering it!

I was grain free for a long time but recently I've been exploring quinoa, corn, and rice. I have been wheat, rye, and barley clean for 5.5 months though and now I'm adding oats to the list of AVOID as well.

I'm okay with potatoes, but not rice or corn. We have a grain-free group, if you want to join.
