Glycemic Index Help
Anyone here on Low Glycemic Index foods, diabetes diet, or celiac (non-gluten/non-wheat) diet?
How to live like this? Any tips or hints? Any advice would be great! Do you get to eat deserts, pizzas, and so forth?

- My mom is celiac and she is very limited to what she can eat. They make a lot of gluten free foods but she doesn't really like them.
- Yes, there are lots of nice and healthy foods you can eat when following these diets. There are lots of books and information online on how to have a long term diet with diets you have mentioned, with recipes. Visit the nhs website for more inforamtion on these diets and what would suit you. Hope this helpes :D
- celiac diet. need to make a lot of my food myself
- I have been on a gluten free diet for 7 years because of celiac disease. What I have found is that your diet is only as limited as you want it to be. Yes you can't have a standard meal out or go to most pizza places and have a pizza but there are plenty of desserts that can be made gluten free, Uno's has a gluten free pizza along with several others. The joy of having someone figure out or even attempt to make something gluten free for you would never be had. I have learned to cook and even bake some to make things that I miss or just want once in a while. I am in the group of gluten free people that don't eat substitute foods unless they are as good as regular food. That involves sampling and trying things and what I do alot is just eat things that are naturally gluten free. My favorite cookbooks are the three by George Stella. They are low carb cookbooks and most of the recipes are naturally gluten free and if you want one of the ones he uses flour in, then it isn't hard to substitute for it. He has desserts (my favorite- cannoli parfait), soups, salads, meats, lasagna, mac and cheese substitute using cauliflour. So my advice is to concentrate on all the foods you can have and don't worry about what you can't have. When you figure out what you miss most, learn to make it or find it somewhere.
