10 Common Mistakes when going Gluten-Free



  1. Trying out the gluten free isle.  It's not Candyland, the finish line of food bliss.  
  2. Listening to advice—friends suggest the gluten free isle
  3. Making pasta from zucchini-come on give me a break.  Zucchini, as versatile as an egg or potato has more to offer than those weird looking slivers.
  4. The gluten free isle.  Did i mention that it is the worst place on diet earth
  5. Millet  its for ducks, not for people despite the claims of gluten free cookbook authors.  They are just filling up a page.  I’m pretty sure that millet is sold at the feed lot.
  6. Sugar—sorry  no sugar.  No one gets sugar, especially Celiacs
  7. Rice rice rice  it is raining rice.  You’ll get constipated, and it’ll raise your sugar levels.  What’s the point of going without sugar
  8. Did I mention the gluten free isle, the cardboard of food?  It's like the cardboard and a dried cow patty had a baby.  
  9. Reading all of those labels, the ones with the little bitty tiny print.  Take that time and make your own sauce, it’ll be faster, easier, and better for you.
  10. Being hard on yourself.  Your stomach hurts, you’ve lost your lifestyle, and there’s gluten EVERYWHERE, and your friends don’t comprehend, mumbling, “you know there’s a gluten free isle at the store.” As if.  Be kind to yourself, and say nice things in your head.
  11. Prepackaged foods.  Ok that’s 11 rather than 10, but there’s not much health benefit to them.
  12. Sorry, one more.  Want to know the real gluten free section?  It is called the PRODUCE area.  Its full of breathing, living, water drinking vegetables, except for the root veggies.  Also, there's the meat section, although it's dead stuff, but it can be consumed and is part of the gluten-free diet.
