A gluten free diet can be low in fibre as many of the alternative flours are lower in fibre than wholemeal wheat varieties. Higher fibre flour alternatives include:
- flours from soy, buckwheat, chickpeas, rice bran
- grains such as amaranath, buckwheat, millet, brown rice
- fruit and vegetables.
Fortunately there is an increasing range of gluten free products available made from potato flour, rice flour, buckwheat and soy flour.
