Gluten-free food is normally seen as a diet for celiac disease, but
people with a gluten allergy (an unrelated disease) should also avoid
all other grains.
Quinoa is a grain that is gluten-free
Several grains and starch sources are considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet. The most frequently used are corn, potatoes, rice, and tapioca (derived from cassava). Other grains and starch sources generally considered suitable for gluten-free diets include amaranth, arrowroot, millet, montina, lupin, quinoa, sorghum (jowar), taro, teff, chia seed, and yam. Sometimes various types of bean, soybean, and nut flours are used in gluten-free products to add protein and dietary fiber.
Almond flour has a low glycemic index, and is a low-carbohydrate alternative to wheat flour. In spite of its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. Pure buckwheat is considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet, however, many commercial buckwheat products are mixtures of wheat and buckwheat flours, and thus, not gluten-free. Gram flour, derived from chickpeas, also is gluten-free (this is not the same as Graham flour made from wheat).
Gluten may be used in foods in some unexpected ways, for example it may be added as a stabilizing agent or thickener in products such as ice-cream and ketchup.[13][14]
People wishing to follow a completely gluten-free diet must take into consideration the ingredients of any over-the-counter or prescription medications and vitamins. Also, cosmetics such as lipstick, lip balms, and lip gloss may contain gluten and need to be investigated before use. Glues used on envelopes may also contain gluten.
Most products manufactured for Passover are gluten-free. Exceptions are foods that list matzah as an ingredient, usually in the form of cake meal.[15]
In the United States, the FDA considers foods containing less than or equal to 20 ppm to be gluten-free,[17] but there is no regulation or law in the U.S. for labeling foods as 'gluten-free'. The finding of a current study indicates that some inherently gluten-free grains, seed, and flours not labeled gluten-free are contaminated with gluten. The consumption of these products can lead to inadvertent gluten intake.[18] The use of highly sensitive assays is mandatory to certify gluten-free food products. The European Union, World Health Organization, and Codex Alimentarius require reliable measurement of the wheat prolamins, gliadins rather than all-wheat proteins.[19]
There still is no general agreement on the analytical method used to measure gluten in ingredients and food products.[20] The official limits described in the Codex Draft are 20 ppm for foodstuffs that are considered naturally gluten-free and 200 ppm for foodstuffs rendered gluten-free.[21] The ELISA method was designed to detect w-gliadins, but it suffered from the setback that it lacked sensitivity for barley prolamins.[22]
Restaurants with gluten-free menus obviously recognize the importance of providing such a service, but those who are gluten-sensitive always must aware that the variety of procedures used in kitchens and grills may allow cross contamination to occur. This especially is the case in buffets where utensils typically are used in different food bowls by customers.

Fun With Gluten-Free, Low-Glycemic Food Cookbook is an ebook cookbook by Debbie Johnson, former owner and executive chef of The Golden Chalice Restaurant & Gallery, a 100% gluten-free, sugar-free, low-glycemic, organic, allergy-friendly establishment. (An ebook is an electronic book that downloads to your computer)
Some people were in tears of joy at The Golden Chalice. They'd look up at the servers and say things like, "You mean I can eat anything on this menu, anything?"
The server would smile and say, "Yes, you can eat anything you like."
Never did we expect the type of emotional reactions we got from our food-sensitive guests. It really showed us the tremendous need that exists for these folks. There's so much food and yet so little that this group can eat, how sad.
After the meal people would say -
"What delicious food! Please teach a cooking class."
And when they left our establishment, "I feel so satisfied, but not stuffed! I have energy, unlike how I feel at a normal restaurant."
Every single recipe in this book covers all three issues at the same time and
are still incredibly yummy, satisfying, and fulfilling. None of the recipes use
corn, soy - except for one special, safe, non-GMO, very easy-to-digest liquid
form - or even rice (high-glycemic), or flour of any kind. Delicious dairy-free
alternatives are also given. Very few allergens are used, and alternatives given
for most known allergens, including certain recipes that give alternatives to
tree nuts.
The recipes in this ebook have been helpful for people with everything from celiac disease and diabetes to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Also, every recipe in this book contains "healing" food of some type. This is according to the many books written by doctors who are experts in the field of nutrition.
Our entire restaurant was geared to people with food and environmental sensitivities of all kinds, yet we didn't advertise the fact on our signage. So locals came in and thought we were just a fine gourmet restaurant. Who wouldn't? our menu offered only the freshest, organic, foods that were rich, flavorful, and delicious. Desserts were always a must at The Golden Chalice, they were just hard to resist.

Cross-contamination issues
A gluten-free diet allows for fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and many dairy products. The diet allows rice, corn, soy, potato, tapioca, beans, sorghum, quinoa, millet, pure buckwheat, arrowroot, amaranth, teff, Montina, and nut flours and the diet prohibits the ingestion of wheat, barley, rye, and related components, including triticale, durum, graham, kamut, semolina, spelt, malt, malt flavouring, or malt vinegar.[16]In the United States, the FDA considers foods containing less than or equal to 20 ppm to be gluten-free,[17] but there is no regulation or law in the U.S. for labeling foods as 'gluten-free'.
