Paleo Diet for Gluten Free
My teenage son has a gluten allergy. Gluten is the protein that is found in wheat and other grains. Our family doctor has told us to not allow him to eat anything that contains wheat. This makes it difficult to prepare meals for my family because wheat and gluten can be found in many foods. Even a can of tomato soup contains wheat flour. It has become increasingly difficult to buy packaged, boxed or canned foods that do not contain these ingredients. I have started to buy natural real food that contains less than five ingredients. This way I can be sure I am not giving my son a food that can be lethal to him. Since I have started to buy only natural foods, I have realized health benefits on other family members. Another child of mine no longer seems to be having problems with her emotional issues. My daughter has always been a drama queen and somewhat on edge but lately she has been a calm and pleasant child. I believe this is due to the natural real food diet I have implemented and the lack of artificial colorings and flavorings.
I have been using Paleo Diet Recipes for my family. The foods in the Paleo diet do not contain wheat or gluten. These recipes call for natural ingredients, including meats and animal products from naturally raised animals. I purchase my meat from a local farmer whom I found at the local farmers market. The chickens I buy from this farmer have smaller breasts than what I have bought in the past at the supermarket. The farmer explained to me that the food industry produces chickens to have unnaturally large breasts. I trust God more than I trust the food industry and science. My choice of food is natural foods as created by God.
