[QUOTE="Josie, post: 83759, member: 1792"] The gluten free substitutes are more expensive but there is a lot you can eat that is naturally gluten free. So cakes, cookies, and pasta are more expensive than the regular ones but you don't have to buy special meat or fruits and vegetables. My rules are: Read the label. Now it is required to list wheat if it is there. If it says wheat, it is obviously off limits. If it says oats, malt, rye, or barley, it is off limits. Malt almost always comes from barley. You can call about it if it is something you really want. If it says natural flavors, this might be gluten. If it is from a safe company that will list gluten, this would be ok. If it isn't, then you can call the company or pass it up. Often, the number is listed right on the package. Safe companies are Kraft, Unilever, Sara Lee, Nestle, and General Mills. There are more but those are the ones I remember and come across. If you have a Whole Foods near you, you can get gluten free pasta and mixes for bread and desserts. Other grocery stores sometimes have this too. There are also some gluten free cookies and muffins already made. There's a lot of not very good gluten free stuff out there so you'll have to try to find things you like. I mostly make things from mixes instead of buying it already made because it tastes better. My kids' friends like the food I make even though I always make it gluten and dairy free, so it can be done without compromising taste. We spend a lot on groceries because I used to like to go to restaurants. I decided if I had to eat at home all the time, I was going to eat well. Our food bill is about the same as it used to be when we ate out a lot. A good website where you can get lots of advice, recipes, and support is [url="http://www.glutenfreeforum.com."]http://www.glutenfreeforum.com.[/url] For inspiration, you can search there about gluten and behaviour or mood.
