People who have celiac disease must stay away from gluten to avoid symptoms like inflammation, digestive issues, and other problems stemming from the protein. People who do not have celiac disease may also want to stay away from gluten to enjoy a number of health benefits &#8212; including more energy, weight loss, and better overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what your motivations for doing so are, eliminating gluten from your diet will alter the amount of vitamins and nutrients you receive. If you\u2019re not careful, it could leave you needing certain important elements. Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holistic dentist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Southlake provides tips for living gluten-free safely and healthily below. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Live Gluten-Free (And Love It)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you decide to eliminate gluten from your diet, you will likely notice that the protein is in just about everything processed that you buy off the grocery store shelves. Fortunately, fresh fruits and vegetables and many other unprocessed items are totally ok to consume and in fact are important aspects of every gluten-free diet. You may need to gradually transition into a gluten-free lifestyle for the greatest success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A nutritious gluten-free diet will include an abundance of the following items: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beans, seeds, and nuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-fat dairy products<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lean meats <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quinoa<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tapioca<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special \u201cgluten free\u201d items that you can find at the grocery store<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Watch Out for<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need to start looking carefully at the ingredients list of what you consume to ensure that you stay away from gluten. Durum, einkorn, emmer, and spelt are all different types of wheat flour, so pay special attention to these words. Additionally, you should stay away from enriched flour and self-rising flour. The only naturally occurring gluten-free flours are rice, soy, corn, potato, and bean. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some other popular items that won\u2019t fit into a gluten-free diet include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pasta<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pizza<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French fries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potato chips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cereal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bread<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cakes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cookies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice cream containing cookies, cake, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salad dressing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy sauce<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And others<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjusting to a Gluten-Free Life<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re committed to eliminating gluten from your diet, you will need to have the support from those closest to you. Talk to your partner or family about why you have made the decision to forgo gluten. Remind them that this is important to you and why you would like to have their support. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have to frequently remind yourself of what you can eat with a gluten-free diet at first, but after awhile it will be second nature. And chances are excellent that you\u2019ll feel better overall as a result! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the Dentist<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Preetha Thomas is a Southlake holistic dentist offering whole-health focused dental care from the comfort of a state-of-the-art office.
