I always try to eat fresh vegetables, and fruits along with meat, chicken, pork, and fish that are fresh from the butcher without any seasoning, batter, and/or sauce. I have also rediscovered the Farmers Market for purchasing fresh and often economical produce. When you first go on a gluten free diet, you will often feel worse before getting better; this is the bodies way of removing toxins. A good suggestion for this detoxification period is lots of rest, water ( to help flush the body), and tender loving care and support from family members and friends. Also remember when you start eating gluten free you will really be eating more healthy. You are not getting any of those nasty additives and flavorings that are not good for us anyway.
