I think that when you get your diagnosis it is so hard to know what to eat and what to do. It is really overwhelming and there were many days I would just go stand at the pantry and then walk away empty handed. One of the best tips of advice that I can give you is to create a Gluten Free Basket for yourself. You need a "go to" area in your pantry that is "safe" for you to consume.
I had this large basket and claimed it as my Gluten Free Basket. I filled it FULL of Gluten Free snacks and goodies that I can eat when I am at home or grab for on the go. It is truly my salvation. If you are Gluten Free and your family is not then you need a special spot in your pantry to call your own. This is mine. I know that anything I choose out of this basket is safe for me to eat and my family knows it is all MINE and they don't eat my Gluten Free goodies.

What a great idea! Your stuff has already helped me so much! I am pretty new to this. And as a couponer and mom of 7, I had no idea how this was going to work in a kid friendly and budget friendly way. Especially since the first GF things were dreadful! I am slowly but surely figuring it out.
