This means you might have to change how you grocery shop and cook, but the end result is worth it! Some of the foods that are naturally gluten-free include fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, meats, poultry, fish, and dairy products. There are also a number of delicious gluten-free grains, such as quinoa, rice, buckwheat, and millet.
