Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #929: Gluten Free Sweet Potato and Bacon Pizza

It means to be gluten free is to completely avoid consumption of gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten free diets exclude all forms of wheat, as well as foods made with these grains, including bulgur, couscous, farro, cracked wheat, einkorn wheat, graham flour, semolina and triticale. Other foods which can be gluten free include fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, corn, quinoa, rice and non-gluten grains such as amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and teff. There are a number of health benefits associated with being gluten free, including improved digestion and nutrient absorption. Additionally, avoiding gluten can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, which has been linked with better overall health and wellbeing. Finally, those who are gluten free can experience an improved energy level and better focus, since their body is no longer trying to process difficult to digest proteins.
