Wheata-free vs gluten-free

January 27, 2008

As you are not following MSRC's Best Bet Diet, it doesn't matter, but they

say that gluten-free wheat is still off-limits for people following their

diet. They also eliminate all soy products and pulses (dahls, etc).

If you were to follow the BBD, I'd see what dahls could be made using

quinoa, corn or buckwheat.

I ate quite a lot of Indian food at home but since I've been on the BBD, I

find it difficult. Pappadoms are chickpea flour which is fine for

wheat-free (check the packages though as some contain wheat too) but out on

the BBD.

It was my impression that many Indian foods used rice. To avoid

gluten I've been eating variations of Dal Bhat, which is lentils and

rice. I also get Indian food in those heat sealed foil pouches. Cook

a 1/2 cup or so of rice, throw the foil pack into boiling water, put

some green-ish vegetable things on the side, it's a meal.

For breakfast I get soy yogurt and mix it up w/ wheat free granola.

Just today, while buying a 1/2 dozen yogurts, started thinking that

wheat free likely does not mean gluten free.
