After over 2.5 years of healthy problem and try to figure what is wrong with me the doctor believe that I’m gluten sensitive.
I did a lot of research about it but it is overwhelming to me. She didn’t give anything to where to start with it.

So I would like to have your input to help me get started. Usually I don’t like to try new things so and I know it is really different food and on top I’m trying to lose weight.

I need your help so bad.

Thanks a million.

    When I looked at your diary this is what I saw that you have been eating that is all ready gluten free;

    Meat.

    Yoplait (Most Yoplait is gluten free make sure to check though, it clearly states it).

    Almost all nuts are gluten free the only ones I would be concerned with flavored nuts.

    The nutella website says they do not use Wheat, Barely, and Rye.

    Fruit.



    The things I did see that aren't gluten free can easily be replaced.
    Rolos (These may be gluten free I could not find an answer)

    Candy I know is gluten free
    Hershey’s Chocolate bar, Almond Joys, Mounds , Dots, Junior Mints, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Mike and Ikes

    Obviously the bread is not gluten free, I haven't tried the gluten free bread so I am not sure if it’s any good.
    Gluten Free Cereal, Chex probably others but that’s what I eat.

    Ice cream, a lot of the Eddy’s ice cream is gluten free I would look at their website. They have a list of them all.

    For something similar to granola bars I eat Kind Bars they taste really good. They have 200 calories but have 7 grams of protein.

    I email companies all the time to ask if their products contain gluten.

    It is overwhelming at first; it does get easier as you get you to checking everything.

    You don't need exotic food. In fact, the simpler the better. Lean meats, veg, fruit, dairy, healthy fats, herbs and spices make delicious meals you can enjoy knowing they are safe.

    I'm reading "the first year: celiac disease" by Jules E Dowler Shepard. Its helpful.

    Ready made gf foods are good to help you adjust to your new life.

    Logging your food is critical, because other intolerances may appear once you get gluten out of your system. I learned that coconut is a no-no for me.

    You can do this.

    I was fortunate to have someone to guide me when I first started gf. Feel free to friends me if you like.
