To get started, you may work with a dietitian (food expert) or other professional who has experience with a gluten-free diet. He or she will:
• Teach you which foods are fine to eat and which foods you should avoid
• Help you plan balanced meals so that you get the nutrition you need
• Give you gluten-free recipes
• Help you find gluten-free substitutes for your favorite foods (such as pasta or cookies)
It may be hard to find a way to manage a gluten-free diet, especially initially. But it always gets easier with practice and over time.
