Gluten Free Diet

Gluten Free Diet on-line program

A Gluten-Free Diet is a diet completely free of gluten. Gluten is a protein found in most grains (specifically those that include rye, barley, or wheat). A Gluten-Free diet is required for sufferers of Celiac disease – a disease that affects the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.

Diet Without Gluten


gluten-free-dietIt is possible to eat a well-balanced diet without gluten. Plain meat, fish, rice, fruits, and vegetables do not contain gluten, so people with celiac disease can eat as much of these foods as they like.

Instead of wheat flour, people can use potato flour, rice flour, soy flour, or bean flour. Or, they can buy gluten-free bread, pasta, and other products from special food companies.

However, like many specialized diets, social situations can be very difficult. All food ingredients should be read carefully to ensure the food does not contain gluten.

A complete diet plan can be found on the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC) here.

    I’m looking to join (Praying) to join a gluten free diet online. I think it would be so much easier to go with the flow.

    Dear rajashakeel amjad,
    I just want you to know that there is no such thing as gluten free wheat. I am on a gluten free diet and at 32 yrs old it takes a bit of getting used to. But on the other hand there are a lot of alternatives to the gluten containing grains. I have found that a return to more indigenous diets help. I happen to eat a lot of polenta now and don’t really miss the big bread products. Sometimes cookies though, but I have found alternatives that are great.
    There is the drawback that you tend to miss certain bread products, but I think the nice thing about your daughter being diagnosed with celiac so early is she won’t learn to miss wheat products.

    Coeliac UK is a brilliant site, for people in the UK, they have a book you can order with lists of all the food you can eat inside.

    My daughter went on a gluten-free diet. It was amazing. First she maintained her weight and her body shrunk in size. She went from a size 12 to a size 8. After three months she started losing weight. It is very difficult to eat out but many chains now offer a “gluten-free” menu.
