Marty, to be very honest with you, in the beginning, it's much better for you to stay away from processed foods. Your system is being hit with a huge change, and processed gluten free foods are very heavy, they can cause stomach upset. Try to stick with potatoes, rice, chicken, fish, veggies and fruits. Not all "gluten free" labeled foods are created equally...and most do still contain small amounts of gluten. "Gluten free" labeling allows as much as 20ppm of gluten, which can be very harmful for some of us, probably all of us.

I loved Tiniyada, but I can't eat it. Your vitamins may contain gluten. I use Jarrow for my B12, Nature Made for my multi, Natrol for my melatonin and Easy C, and I was using Spring Valley for my Vit D, but they recently changed it, now it is a gel cap and contains soy, so I can no longer use it. Any meds you are taking can contain gluten too, always call the company, never trust a website like glutenfreedrugs.com, they do not update often enough, and they also are not including generics. The fillers in meds and vitamins are generally the problem.

It's a huge learning curve, and I know you will figure it all out.
