HERBS, SEASONINGS, AND CONDIMENTS

Mustard

Herbs, Seasonings, and Condiments: You can go wild here as long as you watch labels. Kiss ketchup and chutney goodbye but enjoy mustard, horseradish, tapenade, and salsa if they are free of gluten, wheat, soy, and sugar. There are virtually no restrictions on herbs and seasonings; be mindful of packaged products, however, that were made at plants that process wheat and soy.

NON-GLUTEN GRAINS

Hummus

Non-gluten grains: amaranth, buckwheat, rice (brown, white, wild), millet, quinoa, sorghum, teff. For this reason, we limit these foods. Legumes (beans, lentils, peas). Exception: you can have hummus (made from chickpeas).

WHOLE SWEET FRUIT

Mangos

Whole sweet fruit: berries are best; be extra cautious of sugary fruits such as apricots, mangos, melons, papaya, prunes, and pineapple. Cow’s milk and cream: use sparingly in recipes, coffee, and tea. Cottage cheese, yogurt, and kefir: use sparingly in recipes or as a topping.

SWEETENERS

Dark Chocolate

Sweeteners: natural stevia and chocolate (choose dark chocolate that’s at least 70 percent or more cocoa).

WINE

Wine: one glass a day if you so choose, preferably red.
