Fibre on a gluten/wheat free diet
The number of Aussies choosing to avoid wheat or gluten has increased in recent years, with about 3 in 20 now believing they are wheat sensitive and almost a quarter avoiding gluten. A big challenge for gluten and wheat-free eaters is getting enough fibre. Fibre is crucial for good long-term health. Soluble fibre found in legumes, oats, fruit & veggies slows digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer. Insoluble fibre found in whole grains and vegetables supports gut health. Build your gluten- or wheat-free diet around fresh veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds and experiment with gluten-free grains, such as quinoa, brown rice, sorghum, buckwheat and millet.
