GLUTEN-FREE SHOPPING LIST - 1

If you are new to gluten-free food, the list below will help you with your shopping list.  Names of some stores are listed.  If there is no store name listed you can find the item at most grocery stores.

This list was compiled by Lori Wieters for those who are gluten-intolerant as well as those on a nutritional weight loss program (monitoring protein, carbs, fats and sodium).  You can do both and be a happy camper.  Remember it is not what you can't have but what you can have.
