Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #808: Gluten-Free Turkey Sausage Stuffed Peppers

Being gluten free is an important lifestyle choice for many people. Gluten-free eating is defined as abstaining from wheat, barley, rye, and other grains that contain gluten proteins. This means replacing wheat, barley, rye and their derivatives with gluten-free grains and starches like brown rice, quinoa, corn and millet. It also includes refined grains made with these types of flours, as well as fruits, vegetables, legumes and dairy products. Being gluten free can be especially beneficial for those who have a sensitivity or intolerance to gluten, as well as those with celiac disease. The health benefits of being gluten free include improvement in digestion, increased energy levels, improved gut health, and potentially reduced inflammation. Although going gluten free may seem restrictive at first, it is key to remember that there are many delicious and nourishing options available to make this lifestyle work for you.
