I ate lots of meat (chicken, fish, turkey..) rice, potatoes, fruit, almond butter, and I really like brown rice pasta. I had to go out and buy new seasoning though, the spice mixes we had were not GF. I had good luck finding good GF bread. I only buy UDIs bread when I do. I keep it in the fridge. I like baking so I make banana bread a lot with almond flour and brown rice flour.
Until recently I lived in a small city, and there were several restaurants that offered gluten free food. If you asked about it the owner would come talk to you and they REALLY understood (they would only have a manager prepare GF foods and had separate prep tables, all that). I did not realize how rare it was until I moved across the country to Southern California, where Its only chain restaurants, and being Gluten Free is some huge fad diet. Its hard to explain to people why I cant eat out at all, when every single place has a sign that says "gluten free menu!" They think I'm being a brat or crazy. All of these chains and fast food type places might have GF rolls, pizza crusts, but there are bread crumbs/ flour on prep tables, utensils, spoons, ecet. I really tried to be "normal" and eat out a few times after moving here (trying to make new friends and not be "weird") . I got lucky the first 3 times, and the 4th I got really, really sick. I ended up going to the hospital.
I think its great if some people choose to eat a certain way because they feel better doing it, even gluten free if they dont "have to". However, its really hard to deal with constantly having people get mad because you wont eat when we stop for food because they "know another person who eats GF ,but when they eat gluten they are fine, so its in my head". I wish most people did NOT know what GF was. This "fad" is making GF seem like a huge joke and I find myself hiding having to be gluten free from people (saying I already ate with no reason behind it, or that i dont feel good). I always keep GF bars and almonds in my purse and eat before I head out for the day along with always packing a lunch. I'm more than happy to go to restaurants with people and just grab a tea or something to drink. I dont expect people to have things I can eat, or understand, but I wish people would at least respect me enough to not tell me I'm making it up and I'm being difficult of purpose. Sorry this was so long, Its been a hard thing since I moved.
So, did you just recently find out you have to go gluten free?
how do you find your eating habits are different from others then? Would you eat a lot of GF products, or steer clear and opt for a paleo sort of diet?
). I feel your pain!
