Tip #3- Find Your Favorite Gluten Free Substitutes
These are my favorites:
- Breads- Sami's or Udi's
- Flours-
- Namaste- easy to use, good texture and taste. Also has lots of mixes (pancakes, muffins, etc)
- Bob's Red Mills- has different options of flours
- Crushed Whole Cell Floor- not gluten free but sometimes the body can handle this even when you are sensitive to gluten.
- Simple Mills- my favorite brand for gluten free- it's cleaner, great taste and healthier but pricer
- Siete- chips, tortillas
- Nut Thins- crackers
- Cereal- Rice Krispies, Rice and Corn Chex are gluten free
