Inquiry re: G-Free Diet (Gluten free) (supplements, weight loss, lose, calorie)

[scsigurl3000]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Can someone tell me what a gluten-free ("G-Free") diet is, what you can and can't eat, and if it's effective and healthy, long term?

I do know that it means avoiding wheat...so no bread. How about rice? Can the diet be combined with a vegetarian diet?

TIA

I may be wrong but I think Glutenfree diets are maily for people who are glutenintollerant or glutenallergic or whatever the sickness/condition is...

It's for people who have celiac disease, but it's also supposed to be good for weight loss and general health. At least that's what some of the books say; I have the Kindle version of the preview of a book about this by that woman on the View -- the blond republican -- in her book, it says that.

You can eat bread. Just not "regular" bread. You can eat rice. You can eat vegetarian.

Gluten-free diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You just need to take additional supplements. The wiki article has the details.
Some bread ex:
Your Gluten Free Source Online Store

p.s. I feel better g free but its annoying because its not so much common grab and go stuff. You still need a calorie deficit to lose weight.

You can't eat anything that contains gluten. People who suffer from celiac disease follow a gluten free diet, and people with autism follow it also sometimes.

Things you can't eat would include: breads, crackers, cereals, cookies, pasta, donuts, cakes, pizza, biscuits, pretzels, and lots of other items. Many packaged foods have hidden gluten...if it's not listed as gluten free, you can't eat it. Rice Krispies is not gluten free, but Rice Chex is.

Many organic and speciality groceries have a larger selection of gluten free products, but prepare to pay a much higher price for them.
