I started going wheat free and gluten free back in 2004, to improve my health and wellbeing, as I'd get intolerance reactions to it (such as bloating, tummy trouble, etc). It was hard at first, but because I didn't have to be super strict about it, it was very do-able. You just need to stick to rice-based foods, fresh fruit and veg, and meats / fish too. You can easily get gluten free pasta and bread. For the gluten free pasta, I prefer the Casalare brand pasta. It tastes better and cooks well. (And you can get them with spinach in it, or tomato & basil). There's also a good range of gluten free cereals available, most of them are by Orgran. The only thing to watch out for are pre-made sauces and anything in a packet. Check the ingredients list, and re-check the same labels every few months or so, as many companies change their ingredients over time, without any noticeable label changes (apart from the ingredients list).
