Rules of Engagement

The No List
We don't eat dairy or gluten. 

These two we are quite good at following and sticking to.  The more advanced stuff, the other grains and the beans are a bit trickier and will come in time.  So for now, just ask yourself:

Did it come from a cow at some point?

Did it come from wheat, oatmeal, barley or rye?

These are the biggies.  Luckily eggs come from chickens and are not dairy. 

No
Sour cream
Milk
Cream
Half and Half
Whey
Yogurt
Butter - yes this includes butter and margarine
Ice cream
Frozen yogurt

Wheat
Whole grain wheat
Modified Wheat Starch
Oatmeal
Barley
Rye


The easiest way to avoid the overwhelming No list is to just stick to meat and vegetables and fruits.
