Do you want to go gluten-free but don't know where to begin? Are you already on a gluten-free diet but finding it difficult to stick to? If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, then keep reading! It's hard, right? Gluten is present in many products these days; the list is endless. Eliminating gluten from your diet appears to be an impossible task. However, it is entirely possible. You'll be well on your way to maintaining a gluten-free diet with the help of this book. Gluten is a protein complex found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. (Other grains like corn and rice contain different proteins that do not include gluten.) It helps give the dough its sticky, elastic quality, making baked goods like bread, pizza, and bagels soft and chewy. Because of those qualities, gluten is often used in products you wouldn't expect to find wheat, like soups, sauces, processed meats, and cheeses. Most people have no issues eating gluten, but for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or gluten allergies, eating a slice of bread can feel like drinking poison. You probably feel a little overwhelmed if you've just learned you can't eat gluten. As if giving up bread wasn't enough, now you must figure out if there's gluten in your salad dressing. You'll find, though, that with some education and time to learn the ropes, you'll be well on your way to eating a gluten-free diet. Imagine the kind of pleasure that you will have when you start eating foods that are good for your body, and you start experiencing a surge of energy or a sense of lightness all over your body. This guide will give you all the necessary information before starting a gluten-free diet. You will be given information on finding gluten-free alternatives to some of your favorite foods and a meal plan to help you start your gluten-free journey and start living a healthier lifestyle right away!
