What can you eat on a Gluten Free Diet?
Many foods are naturally gluten-free including rice, maize, fish, cheese and eggs. Fruit, vegetables and pulses like peas and beans are also fine. Gluten-free alternatives are now widely available to replace foods normally full of gluten.
Typical day's diet
Breakfast: Gluten-free porridge, dried fruit.
Lunch: Salad with tuna, cheese or mixed beans in tomato sauce, rice crackers, fruit.
Dinner: Steak, potatoes, carrots and peas.
Top tip: Some people with coeliac disease can eat oats without any side effects but in general, the Coeliac Society advises people with this condition to steer clear of them too.

My daughter has been recommended to be gluten free and your article was very informative. I found a lot of articles tell us what we can't eat but we need to know what we can eat (especially for me because I am the one who is mainly responsible for feeding her!) I was delighted to be able to print off a copy of the chart 'Vegetarian Gluten-Free and Gluten Containing Foods' even though we are not vegetarians. This will be pinned to my 'fridge. Many heartfelt thanks for your advice. Margaret Thomson
