After a couple of days wandering through my local grocery stores trying to figure out what was gluten-free and low glycemic and what was poison, I got completely frustrated. Asking people at the store was useless and I’m not enough of a chemist to know what additives may have gluten in them. I gave up.
Then a friend told me the Whole Foods secret. If you go to the customer service desk at Whole Foods they will give you a directory for the type of diet that you are on. I went there and they gave me a 20 page printout by department of items in the store that are gluten-free. I found cookies, rice pasta, gluten-free soy sauce, and other items very easily. The most important part was that they had lists of SNACKS that I could eat that are gluten-free. They also have the lists ONLINE BY STORE for different dietary needs that you can use to preplan before your shopping trip. It’s a great way to get started.
