Before I delve into the Conclusion I need to highlight an extremely important point. I’m doing this right here at the end of the book with the intention to leave it firmly and freshly in your mind. It is not okay to ‘kind of’ cut out Gluten, it must be 100% erased from your diet. Any small amount you consume will set off your Immune System’s reaction again and you will be back at square one. Make the commitment to your health and go 100%!

A gluten-free diet will have definite changes from the diet you are accustomed to eating. That doesn’t mean that you can’t still have tasty foods that you enjoy.

Read the labels of foods you are purchasing, to ensure that they are gluten-free. Be careful not to fall for other phrasing like “wheat-free”. If you have any questions, call the manufacturer. Their number will be on the packaging.

Plan meals ahead of time, and keep healthy, gluten-free foods in your refrigerator, or prepare meals and put them in your freezer. This way you will always have the makings for a good meal at home, even if you have to work late.

Stay positive about the changes you are making. If your food choices seem limited, remember how much better you feel when you eat foods that do not contain gluten.

Join others in your community and online who are also on gluten-free diets. You will get all kinds of cooking and baking ideas, and places where the foods you want are easily found. When you learn how many people who are going gluten free, like you are, it will make you feel less isolated and part of a group.

I hope I have convinced you to act. Please give a Gluten-Free diet a try and you will see the differences. Thank you for reading my book.
