Is it possible to eat vegetarian and gluten-free?
Finding good gluten-free and vegetarian options can be challenging because gluten-free products often rely on grains like wheat, barley, and rye, which are commonly used in vegetarian recipes as well.
Many vegetarian dishes incorporate gluten-containing ingredients such as seitan, soy sauce, or certain meat substitutes.
This overlap of ingredients makes it more difficult to find suitable options that meet both dietary requirements.
