Where can i find wheat gluten free products for resonable prices?

melissa b asked:

I am a diabetic and have a thyroid issue also, so my body does not digest wheat and I was told to stay away from gluten. I was doing the ‘eat right for your blood type’ diet and both items were suggested to be avoided but it seems hard to find items that are free of these ingredients without paying an arm and a leg any suggestions?

Is this a balanced diet?

send good thoughts to me asked:

I am a diabetic on pills but I just need a diet that any healthy person would eat with low sugar.

  • 8am- low carb yogurt, banana, cherrios & cinomin in it.
  • 10am a couple cups of popcorn or a 1/2 an apple with peanut butter
  • noon-salad bar kind of salad or a healthy soup with whole grain crackers & meditaraniun I can’t believe it’s not butter
    or a tuna sandwich with some broccoli & dip
  • 3pm same snack as the one at 10am but the opposite one than the one I picked earlier
  • 5pm a proten such as fish or chicken, 1 whole grain peice of break with
  • butter, veggie & a sweet or baked potato
  • 8 pm a yogurt to keep my sugar steady through the night & I believe the calcium is relaxing & it keeps me from getting hungry

Thanks any ideas or suggestion or comments are welcome

What is the safest or most natural non-calorie sweetener on the market?

Bobar84 asked:

I like to use equal and splenda as a substitute for sugar and I want to know if either one is safe to use on a regular basis. I am not a diabetic but I am trying to keep the weight off I had recently lost through excercise and diet.
