Gluten, a type of protein found in wheat, barley, rye and some other carbohydrates, isn’t necessarily bad for you. However, more and more people are now discovering that they have some form of gluten intolerance, ranging from a mild sensitivity to celiac disease. Symptoms range from mild abdominal pain and bloating to headaches, vomiting and joint pain. If you have one or more of these symptoms, don’t automatically assume you’re gluten intolerant. Since the symptoms are so varied, if you suspect you have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant, you should talk to your doctor before making any major dietary changes.
Once you have determined that you need to eliminate or reduce gluten from your diet, what next? Aren’t gluten-free products really expensive? Well, yes and no.
I wandered into Big Lots this week and they have tons of gluten free food at great prices. It included everthing from pancake mix to things I didn't even know existed in gluten free.
If you have someone who is on a gluten free diet, check out the display at Big Lots. I am sure you will find it cheaper than the regular grocery store. While you are there, check out their deal on bread and muffins!
