[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend that you don’t substitute processed “gluten free” products for things like bread and pasta. That was a huge mistake on my part when my Dr had me on an elimination diet. I felt absolutely horrid from so much processed crap — much worse than I felt with gluten!

Switched to whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, and then also found I could tolerate farro (apparently it has a different gluten structure than regular wheat used in breads and pastas) very easily. Farro obviously isn’t for celiacs or others with similar issues, but for me it works and is very satisfying.[/quote]

This. gluten-free food has a lot of fillers/gums/extras that mess with my system. Sugar substitutes aren't good for your health either.

alcohol-free "not booze"... maybe? Athletic brew co makes a not-beer that's really satisfying in the summer w/o being high-calorie, and there are some interesting not-liquors that I keep on hand for when friends/family are having cocktails.

Instead of substitutes, plan ahead for alternatives (e.g. for sandwiches, try lettuce wraps).[/quote]
