[QUOTE="Josie, post: 514297, member: 1792"] Nowadays, they have to label wheat so it isn't supposed to be hidden in ingredients like modified food starch. I avoid natural and artificial flavoring, malt (which usually contains barley), barley, oats, and rye. I don't eat a lot of processed foods because of this and have found that I don't even like the taste of it any more. I tend to eat naturally gluten free foods like meat, veggies, fruit, rice, potatoes, and not the bread and pasta substitutes. I don't eat milk either, but if you can, that opens up a lot more possibilities. The worst part is it is difficult being out and about and finding something simple and quick to eat. Plan ahead so you aren't hungry. I think a lot of fast food places do have girlfriend friendly options but I never eat there any more. You could look online and find out what is ok at each place if you want that. Find a good girlfriend flour mix and you can substitute it for flour in anything except bread recipes. Cookies and cakes will turn out fine with girlfriend flour and some xanthan gum. I like the King Arthur flour mix, muffin mix, and pancake mix. Those should be easy enough to find. I remember being hungry the first few weeks while I figured out what I was going to eat. I did notice benefits from the first day, so I was committed. Possibly an outrageous suggestion, but I would consider cooking girlfriend for the whole family, both to save time, and to see what happens with everyone's moods. You just never know how it could be affecting them, too. I know they are not genetically related, but I think gluten intolerance is pretty common. Good luck with this. I think it could be the start of positive changes for you. I went from being worried, irritable, and stressed out all the time, to being relaxed and optimistic! No bread or cake is worth giving that feeling up. [/QUOTE]
