I just got back from the dietitian this morning and learned some interesting things: Unsafe foods are wheat, rye, barley, and most oats.
The most interesting part of my meeting was that she suggested I get a toaster just for my gluten free food. She said that toasters are hard to clean and that are an easy place for "cross-contamination."
I was excited to learn that she, too, has a gluten allergy and after we talked for a while she was able to share her favorite cookie recipe (and which ones are the best prepackaged items). These things might seem a little strange to be discussed with your dietitian but, for a pregnant girl with a sweet tooth-- it's a must.
So, last but not least, alcohol. I can have anything except beer. Apparently it's processed so the protien is changes. Bring on the burboun (after these 9 months are up)!
