Gluten-Free

     Many people don't realize how much of the things they eat or drink have gluten in it.  By having a gluten-free diet it can help people who suffer from "celiac disease", it's also just a great diet.  Though it may feel like everything may have gluten in it, many stores sell the same things we eat everyday but are gluten-free and taste just as good.  Things such as bread, and pasta are now available without gluten.


Allowed foods
Many healthy and good tasting foods that are naturally gluten-free:

• Beans, seeds, nuts in their natural, unprocessed form
