Going gluten-free? Here are some simple tips to help you navigate and enjoy a gluten-free lifestyle:
1. **Read Labels Carefully:** Always check ingredient lists for hidden sources of gluten. Look for terms like wheat, barley, rye, and malt.
2. **Opt for Naturally Gluten-Free Foods:** Fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, and most unprocessed foods are naturally gluten-free. Focus on these!
3. **Choose Gluten-Free Grains:** Swap out wheat-based products for gluten-free grains like quinoa, rice, buckwheat, and corn.
4. **Watch for Cross-Contamination:** At home, keep separate utensils and cooking areas for gluten-free foods to avoid cross-contamination.
5. **Explore Gluten-Free Brands:** Many brands now offer gluten-free versions of your favorite products. Look for the gluten-free certification label.
6. **Stay Informed:** Apps and online resources can help you identify safe products and dining options when you're out and about.
