The Doctor Gluten Project

"Oh dear! The gluten-free diet is costing me a fortune!  Can you help me?"

I reply:

Although the cost of the gluten-free diet initially seems very expensive, it can be reduced in several ways.

1. Avoiding the speciality Gluten-Free products.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables.  Make a salsa to have with vegetable dips.
3. Cut down on the bread substitutes.
4. Rice and potato are cheap, also so is cornflour.
5. Make up your own flour mixes (see our book “Going gluten-free - How to get started”).
6. Make your own meat patties, chicken kebabs are good.  All unprocessed meat is gluten-free.
7. Milk is gluten-free.  Some yoghurts are gluten-free, please check the labels.
8. Avoid pre-packaged foods.
9. Cut down on all sweets, cakes and biscuits.

This will keep your costs down.  Cheers, Dr Rodney Ford.
