Hi Tigger,
I’ve been thinking about going gluten-free or at the very least cutting down due to mental health and skin issues as well. The problem I’m having though is finding GF products that don’t taste horrible, are affordable, and don’t have other things I’m trying to steer away from like soy.
Are there any tips you can offer like good products or what things you make from scratch? Have you tried GF flours in baking and had success?
Also as a resource for others, there is a lot of studies saying that our gut is tied to our mental well being. So if our guts are out of wack, that might contribute to our mental health:
My three biggest wheat weakness are cornbread, cereal and pancakes. If I could swap those out for something better and GF or making something from scratch successfully with a GF flour, that’d be great. (I don’t think I can live without pancakes - it’s my weekend breakfast treat)
I’ve also found more whole foods to be helpful, including green smoothies. It’s easier for me to shove a bunch of fruit/veggie servings in a smoothie than manually try to eat it all in a day, everyday.
