Americans spend a whopping $10.5billion a year on gluten-free foods, in-cluding calorie bombs like zero-glutencakes, pizza, fast-food fries and, newthis year, gluten-free, chocolate-chipGirl Scout cookies. But even as foodmarketers cater to the craze with somany unhealthful products, you shouldtune in to the fact that there are realbenefits from reading the labels andgoing gluten-free or easy on gluten.(Hint: You’re going to want to dump allthat processed, refined flour that showsup in cereals, breads, snacks and frozenmeals in favor of tasty, nutrition-packedalternative grains and grain-like foods.)
What started this trend was the real-ization that at least 1.8 million Ameri-cans have celiac disease (it wasunderdiagnosed for a long time) — anautoimmune disorder triggered by amistaken immune system reaction togluten proteins found in wheat, barleyand rye. If gluten is eaten, the reactioncauses damage to the small intestineand malabsorption of nutrients, andcan lead to osteoporosis, brain fog andother complications.
Another 18 million of you may havea gluten or wheat sensitivity that trig-gers headaches, tiredness, inflamma-tion, joint pain and digestivediscomfort. There’s no test for this kindof intolerance. But if you’ve given upgluten and feel better, then stick with it.And the rest of you? Whether glutenmakes you feel bad or not, you can ben-efit from trying these amazing gluten-free strategies.
Replace some grains with veggies.Long before gluten-free foods hit themainstream, people who avoided G-
packed grains hit on a smart move:They ate sandwiches on slabs of lettuceinstead of bread, served an extra veggiewith dinner instead of rolls, and ladledpasta sauce over spaghetti squash orother veggies instead of noodles. Re-placing refined grains (white bread,rolls, pasta, cereals) with veggies is agreat way to get more fiber, vitamins,minerals and cell-protecting phyto-chemicals — and cut calories at thesame time. (We think this is one reasonwhy people who go G-free feel great andlose weight.)
Munch a new grain. You can hit yourwhole-grain quota (we recommendthree to four servings a day) with deli-cious alternatives that deliver uniquenutrition profiles. Tasty alternatives in-clude:
Quinoa: Safe for people with celiacdisease, this delicious side dish actu-ally comes from the same vegetablefamily as beets and spinach. But itlooks and eats like a grain, thanks to itstiny seeds packed with protein, fiber, Bvitamins and iron. Quinoa has a mild,nut-like flavor, cooks up in 15 minutes,and is delicious with stir-fries, pairedwith chicken or fish, or as a base for
your famous, secret-recipe spaghettisauce.
Millet: In Chinese, the words for mil-let and mouth together make the word“harmony,” a nod to this grain’s popu-larity. Rich in polyphenols and in mag-nesium, millet cooks in 25 minutes. Itsfluffy texture makes it a natural in pilafsor as a hot breakfast cereal. Toss it insoups and stews, or bake into bread,too.
Buckwheat: Like quinoa, buckwheat(also known as kasha) isn’t a true grain.It has long been prized in great cuisinesaround the world — as kasha in EasternEurope, soba noodles in Asia, even inFrench pancakes. It contains blood-sugar-friendly soluble fiber, plus slow-digesting starches that help protectagainst colon cancer.
Amaranth: These tiny, protein-packed seeds cook in 15-20 minutes andnever lose their crunch. They “pop” inyour mouth, revealing a creamy texturewithin. Rich in protein, amaranth helpscontrol cholesterol, too. Amaranth re-leases lots of starch as it cooks, creat-ing a porridge-like consistency. Dependon this grain for breakfast, or add it tobaked goods or soups.
Sorghum: Yup, you can eat it.Sorghum is packed with protein, ironand fiber. Widely eaten in India andAfrica, you’re most likely to find it hereas flour. Its starches digest slowly,which helps keep blood sugar lowerand steadier — a good deal if you add itto healthy muffin or bread recipes!

One client began crying inthe bank because she could-n’t afford a $400 or $500 in-crease in her premium, hesaid.
“It’s a big hit for lower-in-come people,” Bowman said.
Flood insurance is re-quired in order to obtain amortgage for properties inflood plains.
Lawrence questioned thefairness of increases, saying
the risk of catastrophic andcostly floods must be worsein coastal areas.
But FEMA spokesmanJerry DeFelice said the risk-based rates derive from 100-year flood maps that areupdated every five years.
DeFelice has been travel-ing in South Dakota to pro-mote flood preparedness andanswer questions about thenational program, and saidhe’s heard from people whoare concerned about pre-mium increases and how itaffects their ability to reselltheir homes.
