We’ve all heard of a gluten-free diet. Many restaurants now offer gluten-free items on their menus, and gluten-free options are a necessity for individuals with Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance.
JOW’s personal grocery shopping app can easily accommodate dietary restrictions including a gluten-free diet, veganism, or a picky eater in the family. With just one click, you can have a grocery cart filled with ingredients catered to your dietary needs and household size, alongside delicious recipe recommendations from the JOW team.
If you’re considering a gluten-free diet, read on to learn more about what a gluten-free diet entails and to discover 10 delicious gluten-free recipes from JOW.
What Does It Mean to Be Gluten-Free?
The majority of individuals who’ve chosen a gluten-free diet have a gluten sensitivity, a gluten allergy, or Celiac Disease, a condition in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged by gluten. Celiac disease can lead to symptoms including fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and other tummy troubles.
If you follow a gluten-free diet, you avoid wheat and certain other grains and flours that contain gluten, specifically barley, rye, triticale, spelt, and some oats. While this may sound easy—when was the last time you purchased barley, anyway?—gluten can appear where you least expect it, on the ingredient list for many breads, cakes, and cookies.
Gluten’s prevalence in baked goods is usually due to the presence of malt, but it can sneakily appear in foods like beer, marinades, and even soy sauces. If you choose to become gluten-free, it’s important to carefully read the ingredient lists on any store-bought foods and seek out items labeled gluten-free wherever possible.
There are plenty of gluten-free cereals, breads, and grains like rice and quinoa available in stores, and many restaurants offer gluten-free options. Gluten-free flours, like potato flour, exist, too, so you can still make your favorite baked goods at home.
Foods that you can eat while following a gluten-free diet include:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Beans
- Seeds
- Legumes
- Nuts
- Eggs
- Lean and non-processed meats, including fish and poultry
- Most low-fat dairy products
You can easily get all the nutrients and fiber that you need on a gluten-free diet, and there are plenty of delicious gluten-free recipes you can make from the comfort of your own home.
