When making significant dietary changes, such as eliminating gluten and dairy intake, often people fear that there are no foods that they can eat – but this is far from the truth! So, to help you find gluten-free and dairy-free food options here in Moncton, NB, we have made a grocery shopping list for selected stores and markets around the city. And to give you a visual, we’ve added links to some of the products so you can easily recognize the foods that you’re looking for when you’re out grocery shopping.
So, try not to feel overwhelmed or discouraged when decreasing or completely phasing out two of the most common allergens – dairy and gluten. Because, as you can see, there’s lots of food options out there for you to choose from, and cooking in this way is actually very easy! With every change, it’s always good to start out small by incorporating a few new dishes and options at a time so you can discover what food items you and your family enjoy best. When people get started on this path, many find that they can easily make the change to gluten and dairy free foods, and their family either won’t notice or will enjoy the flavours and textures that these new foods bring to the table.
