Would Americans benefit from a widespread gluten-free diet?
Even if one is not intolerant to gluten, it doesn’t hurt to eliminate it from the diet. I’m doing an essay on this topic, trying to argue that a gluten-free lifestyle would be the cure to many common and preventable illnesses, like obesity, arthritis, even a runny nose. So, what do you think? Would replacing wheat products with rice or nut based flour be a positive change?
Please include sources or links, if possible.
Cite me as a personal interview, because this is direct communication.
When I was younger, one of my friends had a mom who was a celiac. It impacted their lifestyle and they ate very healthy. So, I think that a gluten free lifestyle encourages people to really examine what they are eating. Replacing wheat products with rice based flour would be a positive change. I eat a great deal of rice and it has a lower glycemic index than most wheat products.

what is the most heart healthy gluten free/Casin free food plan out there?
I’ve been changing my diet back and forth for about 2 years now. sometimes good and sometimes bad. I need to find out a decent mixture of food thats both heart healthy and gluten free. I’ve talked with my doctor about this and he says to read the nutrition labels and look online. I’ve been reading the labels, I know exactly how much cholesterol I’m intaking as well as any number of other things. but I need to know whats actually good for me and my heart.
My sudden interest is due to the fact that I’ve had heart issues in the past and I’ve taken it in stride and always just followed what the doc said. but now I have a kid coming along and I want to actually be able to get myself in shape within the next 8 months and the first step to that is a heart healthy diet. or so I’ve heard.
Sadly, the list of “Gluten Free Foods” is about 30 Pages Long. I have been allergic to Gluten for 5 years now, and it is NOT Easy, and NOT Fun. I MISS all that “Real people food”. So I wish you MUCH Luck. Here is the list: http://gfkitchen.server101.com/FoodstoAvoid1.htm
As far as your heart is concerned the best foods to eat are Blueberries, Salmon, Blackberries, Raspberries, Olive Oil, Cod Fish, Flax Seed, Artichokes, Beans, Cabbage, Carrots, Cherries, etc.
The first answer is wrong. I DO Eat cereal, and it is made from “Brown Rice”, or Tapioca. There are Lots of cereals you can eat, and if you can eat dairy you are even luckier, because I have to drink soy milk. As far as the bread is concerned there is also gluten free bread out there. You need to go to a specialty store however.
