List of foods I can have

Big lifestyle change.. especially if I go back to India : NO CHAPATI's. I am allowed corn though - so I can have chapati's made of corn flour. As long as they aren't mixed with regular flour. 

Anyway, here are a list of foods I can and cannot have.

YES

Grains:

Corn in all forms (corn flour, corn meal, grits,etc.)

Rice in all forms (white, brown, basmati and enriched rice)

Also amaranth, buckwheat (kasha), Montina, millet, quinoa, teff, sorghum and soy (NO SOY SAUCE though – soy sauce is fermented from wheat)

Carbo-loaders:

Potatoes are gluten free. But only it's whole unprocessed form. Stuff like potato chips and french fries are often cooked with additives which might have a high degree of gluten.

Dairy:

Milk, butter, margarine, real cheese, plain yogurt

Fruits and veggies:

Plain fruits, vegetables, (fresh, frozen and canned)

Proteins:

 Meat, seafood, eggs, nuts, beans and legumes and flours made from them

Flavourings and condiments: Distilled vinegar is gluten free. (See malt vinegar under NO below).

Vegetable oils including canola.

Spices are gluten free. If there is no ingredient list on the container, it contains only the pure spice noted on the label.

Alcohol: Distilled alcoholic beverages are gluten free because distillation effectively removes gluten from wheat. They are not gluten free if gluten-containing ingredients are added after distillation, but this rarely, if ever, happens. Avoid Beer though. NO: Wheat in all forms : NO BREAD/PASTA/PIZZA Durum Semolina Cake flour Couscous Barley and Malt (So NO cereals for breakfast) Malt syrup Malt extract Malt flavouring Malt vinegar Rye Breaded or floured meat/poultry/seafood/vegetables Also meat poultry and veggies when they have a sauce or marinade that contains gluten such as soy and teriyaki sauces. Beer – fermented from Barley Liquorice (really?!)
