Find Out About The Newest Fads In Gluten-Free Food For 2013

By Faryn Clark


Almost everyone has heard about "gluten-free" and, we often see some of the labels telling that the product contains no gluten. Gluten-free diet has long been in our midst, but it just recently gained its popularity to the masses because of its tremendous health benefits.

What do we mean by gluten-free diet?

In simple terms, this is the type of diet where foods containing the protein gluten are not allowed, even wheat and barley. This diet is primarily developed by medical experts to treat celiac disease.

Gluten-free diet is not what you think it is. As a matter of fact, you are already eating (unaware) gluten-free products almost every day such as eggs, nuts and vegetables. With this diet plan getting famous, food manufacturers' supplies for gluten-free alternatives and products have significantly increased. They are driven to address the increasing demand of alternatives such as pasta and bread.

So, the following are some of the foods that naturally contain no gluten. You may take them regularly depending on what your physicians have told you.

1. Fresh meat and fish

2. Dairy products

3. Eggs (fresh)

4. Dairy products

5. Beans, seeds and nuts

Nevertheless, you still need to check the label to ensure that you are not eating products or foods with gluten mixture. The above foods are susceptible to cross-contamination if you take checking the label lightly and where you bought them.

Take note of the following foods because they are naturally rich in protein gluten:

- Barley

- Rye

- Rye

- Wheat

These products or foods are rich in vitamins and minerals but you must remove them from your daily diet otherwise; your celiac will not be cured (if you have any). Take supplements containing the vitamins and minerals that the above products have.

Is there an alternative?

10 of the most common Gluten-free food alternatives have widely gained popularity in the market but, may be great risks to your diet plan, especially when you are suffering from celiac disease. It is best that you avoid them. They include:

* Cake

* Cakes

* Fast food French Fries

* Cake

* Cereal

* Dressings on salad

* Salad dressing

* Cereals

* Soup base

* Sauces

This diet plan may give you the impression of a weight loss program but, it is not. This diet is mainly designed to treat those people who are suffering from celiac disease. However, because of its effectiveness in taking away unnecessary weight to people taking this diet, its popularity in losing weight has tremendously increased. Gluten-free diet means that you replace your old favorites with new foods that are safe and affordable without depriving yourself from eating the way you have been used to.
