I agree, the Bob's stuff is great. But boy the prices are at least double the regular stuff. Since both my son and I have to eat gluten free I prepare everything that way. A number of family favorites are just out of the question. I have spent a fortune on food that turns out to be completely impossible to eat, so I try stuff very sparingly it just gets too expensive. Mostly we just do without.

The gluten free options are just not the same, although they are getting better. When I had to start the diet I found myself justifying alot of poor diet choices as compensation for all the things I had to go without. Then about when I had gotten my life back on track, and was finally feeling healthy, the fibromyalgia symptoms began although it was just diagnosed last month. As it became more and more difficult to do anything the pounds crept up. Now here I am; 50 pounds overweight, exhausted all the time, and dealing with constant pain from the fibro arthritis and bursitis. I know some of you are dealing with this, and much more, how do you keep going?
It is a pain for family get together.
My husband is the worst one and does not follow the no gluten.
and I feel bad because he is such a picky eater before this that you take gluten away and he eats nothing.
My niece is also dairy and soy intolerant. So she cannot eat a lot of things luckily she is good with he food choices.
Since I try to keep the gluten down in my house
I keep Chex on hand as it is gluten free and my husband like to just munch on them.
Also remember that you can find lots of gluten free items in the ethnic aisles. Asian has a lot made with rice and rice flour and Spanish has a lot of corn and corn flour.
It can be cheaper because they are not intended for the gluten free life. It just so happens they are gluten free
Good Luck! It is possible but it is a lot harder

I am lucky in the fact that I do not have the issues with gluten that so many of you are facing. However, I work at a food company, and know that it is a HUGE issue right now. If you haven't already checked it out, General Mills (they make Chex) has a website for gluten-free info: http://liveglutenfreely.com/ There's product info, recipes, links to blogs, all sorts of stuff. They even have Gluten-Free Bisquick now!

I have tried the GF Bisquick, but again the cost makes it impractical for regular use. I also have to deal with a DH who is very particular, won't eat more than a couple different veggies, doesn't like anything asian, just regular meat and potatoes preferably. We are very fortunate to have a place locally where my son can get gf pizza, and what teenager can live without that! We are very lucky to only be dealing with celiac, many people we know also have other food allergies in addition to celiac. I think the biggest issue is the emotional part, feeling like I am deprived.

he only eats corn and meat and potatoes.
The rice noodles in the Asian foods is pretty good it cooks up like angle hair pasta.
I know in my house for tacos I do not like hard tacos but that is the only one that come in corn.
If you look some places in the Spanish section has corn tortilla.
Dont know if you have Snyder pretzels or if it is gut a local thing but they make GF pretzels that are pretty good and healthy found right with the reg pretzel.
I would make a regular daily food plan
Then find all the gluten and try to substitute it for a healthy non gluten free food choice.
I know that most GF foods are expensive but if you change out
Spaghetti noodles of spaghetti squash its is not only healthier for you but I have heard taste good
So a sample meal could be
chicken tacos
Chicken cut up and seasoned
lettuce, tomatoes, low fat cheese
with corn taco shells
(no GF and healthy)
Add a salad to it and you have a meal
If you would like some more suggestions or help with some meal idea you can always PM me. Like I said I dont have it but I have to live it everyday

I am so happy that all I have to worry is to much fat in my diet. Have to run to the little girls room frequently, but I can eat all foods that I like. Just have to watch the fat content and the way it is cooked, no fried foods.
