Processed Rice Foods
With an increasing number of people looking into a gluten-free diet, processed foods using potato, tapioca, corn and rice as an alternative to wheat seem to be on the rise.
And although these foods don’t naturally contain gluten (but keep in mind possible cross-contamination if you have an allergy or Celiac’s Disease), they can still be just as processed.
The processing steps sheds the foods of many nutrients and fiber, causing them to affect blood sugar and could lead to weight gain. This may be something to keep in mind if you are avoiding gluten as a means of blood sugar balancing.
