In this guide, we’ll explain what a gluten-free diet entails and steer you towards the best places for a gluten-less meal out in Manchester.
It has been suggested that a gluten-free diet can lead to improved health, weight loss and increased energy
In brief, gluten is a mixture of proteins found in wheat, along with oats, barley and rye. These substances are common in many meals, so removing them from your diet requires quite a bit of research, though it can be beneficial even for those without a sensitivity to gluten – it has been suggested that a gluten-free diet can lead to improved health, weight loss and increased energy.
It might sound overwhelming but there are plenty of safe foods to focus on, such as fruit and vegetables, beans, eggs, lean meat and fish and most dairy products. It’s also worth being aware of cross-contamination, which can easily happen in busy restaurant kitchens. With this in mind, when looking for a meal out it’s best to focus on venues that specifically mention gluten-free dishes on the menu, as an indicator that they’re aware of this and set up to avoid any issues in the kitchen.
