[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 594271, member: 1631"] I've been gluten free for just over a year now and it hasn't been all that difficult. I never thought I would say that. Just the summer before I was diagnosed I told husband it was a good thing I didn't have to go gluten free because I didn't think I could. Then about 7 months later I was diagnosed and eating my words! Seriously, there is very little I miss from the world of gluten. Not to mention the fact that I no longer have any joint pain makes it so totally worth it. If there is a Trader Joe's near your friend tell her to look there. They have some amazing gluten free granola there along with many other products. The Kind bars are even better than granola bars. You can find them at most grocery stores. Most grocery stores have gluten free aisles. I like the fact that at Trader Joe's there gluten free items are all marked with a yellow sticker by the product and are infused with all of the products. Insane is right about not substituting a lot of the gluten free substitutes for "normal". They aren't that healthy and do not taste that good. However, the gluten free chocolate chip cookies from Trader Joe's are amazing if you are looking for a snack. I make most meals but always did. Now I try to eat much more whole foods and not processed. I've actually lost 20 pounds since going gluten free. [/QUOTE]
