Starting a gluten-free lifestyle can be one of the most intimidating tasks ever. Whether for health or personal reasons, it’s challenging to figure out where exactly to begin. But I can tell you from my own experience that it gets so much easier. Navigating your way through those first few months is the hardest, but it eventually becomes second nature.

While you might not expect it, my gluten intolerance has completely reinvigorated my love and appreciation for food. I could spend my life savings at the grocery store, easily. It’s always such a huge win to walk down the aisles and spot all of the “GF” labels.

This post has a complete guide to help you navigate the grocery store with ease. Which alternatives are the best, ingredients to avoid & more. Sharing my experience and knowledge with those of you on similar journeys has been extremely rewarding.
