For tummies that are sensitive to gluten, eating common food stuffs can be a very uncomfortable and painful experience. Gluten intolerance can range from a mild sensitivity to full blown celiac disease. If you have a confirmed gluten intolerance, the following gluten free grains are a great alternative.

Teff, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, rice (brown and wild), or millet are simple to cook and tastes great. These grains are widely available in local grocery or bulk food stores. Add additional bulk and nutrients to your meal by including fibrous or starchy vegetables like beets, sweet potatoes, broccoli, kale or fresh greens.

Home cooking and fresh ingredients are best, however if you are buying prepackaged or ready made, check those labels for hidden sources of gluten.
