Bob’s Red Mill is great for gluten free grains, and mixes for baking.  How do you find it?  Online is one way to find Gluten Free Resources.  Go straight to the company website - Bob’s Red Mill .  Another way is to figure out what stores carry gluten free products and figure out where they’re stashed.  Usually the customer service can look it up for you, or even the store’s website can tell you what products they have and where they are kept.  Kroger’s keeps their gluten free products in the Nature’s Market area, close to the organic foods section.  I searched for gluten free mixes the other day and found them right where the website said they would be.  I couldn’t find gluten free at Walmart or on their website.  It’s probably there somewhere, but just wasn’t an easy find - and I didn’t try customer service because I was in a rush.

Another resource is the Gluten Free Mall.  It’s an online order place, and even has gluten free pastas. Glutenfreeda.com has a whole website devoted to gluten free living, including great recipes.  Glutenfreeda has a weekly newsletter and cooking lessons.  It has a small section devoted to celiac news and even product reviews.  They will soon have frozen gluten free cookie dough coming to stores.  Celiac.com also has a good website for online ordering of gluten free foods.

Right now is probably an easier time to go gluten free since you can use fresh vegetables and meat without opening a jar or can.  In the winter it’s more difficult and you have to rely on reading those labels.  Good luck in your gluten free quest.
