RECOMMENDED DIET
MILK FREE/GLUTEN (GLIADIN) FREE DIET
Patients suffering from a milk and gluten intolerance control the problem by strictly eliminating both milk and gluten gliadin products from their diet. This diet has been created in order to assist those suffering from such problems.
It is extremely important to READ LABELS on all products as manufacturers constantly change ingredients, even those listed on this sheet. Products listed on this sheet are also subject to change. All people do not have the same time response to the offending agents. You should take extreme caution to avoid these ingredients, even if you have escaped symptoms on some occasions.
Gluten-gliadin: All products that contain barley, oats, rye, wheat (including spelt and kamut), or any by-products of these grains (including food starch, malt, and semolina).
Milk: All milk and lactose products and milk by-products (including curds and whey).
Note skim milk and non-fat dry milk contain lactose. Note products mark "parve" are milk free.
