Becoming gluten free is an eye awaking moment, all that you use to eat and now you need to find alternatives. Being lactose intolerant is easy, just switch to an dairy free milk, there are many to choose from. However being gluten free is a bit more of a challenge, sure you can eat potatoes, rice and corn cereals , but eventually you will get bored. With time and education you will see just how varied your diet can be, leading to a happier and healthier lifestyle. It may take some work in the kitchen, but in the end it will be worth it.
The biggest challenge to many that have to go gluten free is breakfast, lunch and snacks. Dinner is easy, meat, chicken, potatoes, vegetables all gluten free.
Breakfast Strategies- Eggs and quick Breads- you can use quick gluten free bread, like cornbread or any gluten free loaf.
You can use gluten free oatmeal, add fruit, milk and a sweetener. You can make a protein shake with yogurt and soy or almond milk if lactose intolerant. Try some peanut butter on gluten free bread or gluten free roll. There are also many breakfast bars that you can have to replace a meal, try different ones till you find one you like.
Being gluten free, having to eat gluten free takes some planning and time in the kitchen. It means you need to always prepare and know what the plans are to make sure your foods are available. Tomorrow I will go over some lunch and snack strategies.
