Tips & Tools for Easy, Gluten-Free Living
Today’s options for a gluten-free lifestyle are better than ever. You still want your food choices to be wholesome, organic, and fresh. Remember, just because a product carries the GF food logo, doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Read ingredients and watch out for high sugar content, corn fillers and processed ingredients.
Enjoy this list of resources. Our hope is that it helps you make gluten-free living easy and delicious.
Apps: Use apps to help you buy groceries, find a restaurant, view a GF menu, or verify allergen content. There’s even an app to help you translate dietary preferences into another language!
