Thumbs up

The gluten diet can be done in stages. Making any dietary change can be difficult and stressful for people.

There is a very good gluten free pasta, called Tinkyada, which is the best one out there. In fact I still use it, because it has a lower glycemic index than regular wheat pasta.

There is gluten free Bisquick now, for pancakes, biscuits etc.

I'd get rid of bread as a first thing. There are gluten free crackers and rice cakes for substitution. Corn tortillas can make roll up sandwiches, etc.

Don't focus on what you "can't have" but focus on what you can have instead. Your desire to feel better should motivate you at least. Once you start to feel better, you will find it is easier to keep going.

There are wonderful blogs with gluten free recipes on them.
Check our Stickies in our gluten forum for some of those.

You now have a direction in which to go.... you are on your way to feeling better.
