My largest worry about being an anti-glutite is my fiber intake. Anyone out there have a hard time finding a way to intake enough fiber? I found the following list of good anti-glutite food for us to consume...
Highest Fiber Vegetables
Artichokes
~1/2 cup hearts (3oz) = 4.5 g Fiber
Avocado
~1 cup sliced (5.1oz) = 9.8 g Fiber
Edamame
~1 cup (6.3oz) = 7.6g Fiber
Broccoli*
~1/2 cup chopped (2.8oz) = 2.6 g Fiber
Brussels sprouts*
~1/2 cup (2.8oz) = 2 g Fiber
Cabbage*
~1 cup chopped (3.1oz) = 2 g
Fiber Carrot
~1 cup chopped (4.5oz) = 3.6 g Fiber
Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans
~1/4 cup (2.1oz) = 2.6 g Fiber

~Collards 2 cups (2.8oz) = 3 g Fiber
~Turnip greens* 1 cup chopped (5.1oz) = 5 g Fiber

* These high-fiber vegetables are also goitrogenic, meaning that they promote thyroid enlargement and can potentially cause or aggravate hypothyroidism. Typically, the risk is highest when these foods are consumed raw, regularly, and in substantial quantity. Cooking eliminates most goitrogenic properties.

This is great information! I just found a gluten free pasta that is high in fiber (for a gluten free pasta!). It's called Freesia. It has 5 grams of fiber in the Macaroni and the Spirals pasta. I also found an organic gluten free pasta by bionaturae.com that I'm going to try tomorrow. It doesn't have as much fiber and is made with rice, potato and soy. It says it's "tastes like traditional pasta with no need to rinse!" We shall see. I'll keep you "posted!"
I had the same problem when I was diagnosed, after 3 years I discovered the wonders of coconut thanks to a new doctor at our surgery. It's 60% fibre and has really helped me along with my diet :)
Thanks for this list. But I can't imagine avocados have that much fiber-- they're the smoothest fruit/veg around!
Actually, an entire avocado has 289 calories and 11.8 grams of fiber. Guacamole for everyone!
