Gluten-Free: 3 Months Later...

It's been approximately 3 months since I've been on my gluten-free diet and I have never felt better! I used to have upset stomachs, feel extremely tired, and never felt full... and this was every day. Because I know that even small amount of gluten can cause damage to my body, I've been following a rigorous gluten-free diet. So what foods and ingredients are allowed and which do I eat? Here's a sample menu:

Breakfast
Cereal
Banana

Lunch
Chicken or turkey sandwich on buckwheat bread
Salad
Fruit or veggies

Snack
Pirate's Booty Smart Puff (like Cheetos)

Dinner
Chicken
Quinoa
Green Beans

Dessert
Ice Cream

Remember that all the foods above are gluten-free and made with any number of or all the following: corn, rice, flax, quinoa, buckwheat or amaranth. Most importantly, it's not only gluten-free, it's healthy!
