Gluten/Wheat Free Can Be Easy

Look for the Wheat Free logo.

Gosh, I must've been in elementary school when my mom took me to an allergist to find out the source of my allergies. The test came back and I was allergic to various things including pollen, dust and wheat. While over time I've heard much of the human race is allergic to wheat, or eventually grow out of it as a child and into adulthood... There are many people out there that are noticing a difference when they eliminate wheat or gluten from their diet. For me, I actually don't practice any elimination, I think as a result I may have one nostril that is habitually clogged, but I found that I can live with it. Overall, people tend to feel better when they eliminate wheat and gluten from their diet and I have found there are great options when it comes to making this decision. Before we dive into this I also want to note that there is a difference between wheat and gluten. Gluten is a protein found in grains including wheat, wheat is a grain that contains gluten. So what does that mean exactly? Well, if you are allergic to gluten there are other items that may have gluten in them besides wheat. So it's best to get checked to find out what you are allergic to and how to best avoid those things. 
Fabulous health food store Down To Earth has a wide variety of wheat free and gluten free items. I wanted to showcase some of my favorites so you can try them with ease as well.

Hello Mama, these gluten free bites (The GFB) are packed with flavor, protein and yummy goodness. They make a fabulous energy snack and are loaded with nuts, texture and deliciousness.

Speaking of nuts, I am a sucker for the variety of amazing nuts in-store. My favorites are cashews, almonds and coconut. This is a great addition to my morning banana, yogurt and/or cereal.

I love carbs, carbs, carbs, carbs... The baked items at Down To Earth are amazing. The breads here are also Wheat Free, as you can see they are delightfully moist, impeccably baked and you don't miss that wheat at all. Pumpkin, Blueberry and Poppy Seed!

There's always a generous amount of wheat free pizza at Down To Earth. I can appreciate all the various flavors and ingredients they use and the portions are huge and under $5 a slice.

Typically Sushi is a great option when you are opting to go gluten or wheat free. It can be filling, healthy and tasty. The only thing to note is that soy sauce can contain gluten so be aware what kind of sauce you are using.

Speaking of rice, checkout this amazing mac and cheese using rice and it also contains no gluten. Rice is a really great substitute for many items even rice milk or rice ice cream can be delicious.
