Gluten Free Diet

My accupuncturist recommended avoiding wheat(gluten) to clear up my chakras. Being Indian and vegetarian that's a tall order! A trip to Whole Foods, a neighborhood store specializing in Natural Foods introduced me to the world of gluten free foods. I did not know bread and pasta could be made from Brown Rice! I bought some but have not had the guts to try it yet!

Day 1 my diet looked like this

Breakfast - 2 slices of Sprouted Wheat Bread(apparently sprouted wheat is ok).
Snack - Watermelon, Nectarines
Lunch - Sambhar, Parval Sabzi, and Dalia (made from a mixture of brown rice, barley, quinoa and millet).
Snack - Baked Potato Chips
Dinner - Sambar, Dosa and Coconut Chutney

I guess one day is too soon to note any differences as a result of the new diet, but I hope to keep this up long enough to see if it makes a difference. What brought this on you ask ? My constant headaches and sniffly nose :-)
