(prHWY.com) April 17, 2012 - Celebration, FL -- People who have the celiac disease need to follow strictly a gluten free diet. As such, they are very careful in choosing the type of food they eat making sure that they do not contain even traces of wheat or gluten.
There are lots of foods out there that are naturally devoid of gluten like the fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, dairy products and some cereals such as rice and corn. These are safe for them to eat. What they are to avoid are products with gluten such as bread, cakes, pasta and other foods that are prepared using wheat flour. Now, that part is easier said than done especially if a person is used to eating these types of foods prior to his diagnosis of having celiac disease.
There is a complete shift in the chosen diet of these people. With the increase in the awareness of their needs, food manufacturers have developed products that make it possible to eat gluten free bread, cakes and pasta. Another recent development is the availability of various gluten free ready-to-eat meals .
Go Gluten Free Ready-to-Eat Meals
Ready-to-eat meals, also called MRE (Meals Ready-to-Eat) in lightweight packaging are actually developed to meet the needs of soldiers in the field where food facilities are not available. It was used to replace the canned goods served to the military to save on carrying too much weight. Now, ready-to-eat meals are really convenient food made available for people who are busy and have no time to prepare food from home. It is also a good means to enjoy meals while traveling, going on hiking or camping.

Reading Gluten Free Product Labels
How do you know if a ready-to-eat meal is gluten free? Reading product labels is a must for the buying consumer to identify if a product is gluten free or not. One of the popular logos used to identify gluten free products is the wheat stalk with a slash through it. Since many of these gluten free products have been prepared by food manufacturers who also prepare wheat products, one also needs to read the ingredients list to check for obvious and hidden sources of gluten in the products such as wheat, rye, barley and triticale.
