Can I ask what your normal daily food diet looks like on a gluten free diet? What you eat for B,L,D and snacks?
I am on a GF diet too, but finding it hard to "mesh" with Heather's diet as many of the GF foods are either 1) higher in Insolube fiber (like Millet) and don't serve well as a Soluble fiber base for veggies. 2) the bread tend to be higher in fat content and often made with whole eggs. and 3) We can't do most of the safer snacks like dried cereals, breads, pretzels, saltines, bagels... GF cereals tend to be made with brown rice which is more IF and not safe alone. The bagels and pretzels are sky high in fat (one bagel has 8 grams fat and the pretzels have 5 grams per ounce  ) and the crackers tend to be brown rice too.
I found a millet flax gf bread, but again, that is not a safe soluble base.
We can't do oatmeal either, and the only hot cereals I have found our cream of brown rice or Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty hot cereal that contains whole Brown rice, buckwheat, and sorgham. The brown rice and buckwheat are not good SF foods to start the day with either 
Even the noodles tend to be brown rice based with rice bran and or made with buckwheat. Not as safe as regular pasta for SF bases to veggies.
Please help me Can you give me some ideas??? How do we substitute our nonsafe Soluble fiber bases, which are the heart of Heathers Philosophy to eat first, for safer ones.  Plain white rice gets boring and too many days in a row leaves me very constipated. I can only handle white rice or white rice noodles 2 times a week or so.
Can we do quinoa as a safe soluble base for our veggies? Is quinoa enough of a SF base?
Are you a D, C, or A, btw?
Thanks so much Emily.
