Many people assume that a gluten-free diet means avoiding all grains or eating only packaged gluten-free products. That is not necessarily the case. Rice, potatoes, millets, fruits, vegetables, pulses, dairy, eggs, meat, fish, nuts, and seeds can all be part of a naturally gluten-free eating pattern when suitable.
Dt. Preeti Gupta, with over 23 years of clinical experience and 30,000+ clients, considers the reason you need to avoid gluten before creating a gluten-free diet plan in India. The approach can be different for someone with diagnosed coeliac disease compared with someone exploring gluten sensitivity under medical guidance.
For people with coeliac disease, avoiding gluten consistently is important. The plan therefore focuses not only on ingredients but also on food labels, packaged foods, eating outside, cross-contact, and practical meal preparation at home.
A balanced gluten-free diet plan still needs adequate protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Meals can include rice, quinoa, millets, legumes, vegetables, fruits, dairy or alternatives, eggs, lean meats, nuts, and seeds according to individual preferences.
As an experienced dietitian for gluten-free diet in India, Dt. Preeti Gupta focuses on making gluten-free eating practical within Indian food habits rather than creating an unnecessarily complicated food list. Both online and in-person consultations are available across India.
