I'm going mostly gluten free to help my arthritis pain. I don't have to get rid of all of the gluten (and I love bread too much to give it up all together, lol), but it's worth it to avoid all those pain medications. There are a lot of foods out there labeled as gluten free. Even some Hamburger Helpers. Check the nutritional facts panel of foods and toward the bottom it normally states Gluten-Free. Also, Wegman's has a huge GF section because Danny Wegman's daughter has Celiac's Disease and needs a GF diet. Certain foods you can only buy specific brands to be GF. I know that Sprite is GF (at least it was the last time I checked) but other brands weren't. Also, anything that is wheat based (flour, dough, breads, and so on) are all gluten based so avoid those. There are some cereals (like CHEX) that is GF, though. Our neighbor's have 3 daughters with Celiac's Disease so we've been aware of the GF diet for a while, but only recently have I started adding it to my diet.
