6. Fish

Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, lean protein, and heart-healthy micronutrients, so it can play an important role in a balanced diet. All varieties of fish are gluten-free, including shellfish. Care must be taken in the preparation of seafood. At eateries, opt for simple dishes and avoid fish that is breaded or served with pasta. Instead, try it with a squeeze of fresh lemon over a bed of brown rice with, say, asparagus on the side.

You'll also want to steer clear of tempura and deep-fried foods like onion rings with questionable batters. Sushi is still on the table. Skip the soy sauce and talk to the chef about your concerns—not all salmon roses are made alike. Be wary of seafood counters with pre-seasoned fish.
