Rice and potatoes offer enough starch.  I raised a gluten-free kid 35 years ago without the special foods. He is now tall and healthy, still sticks to gluten-free diet, of course loves the new additions but encourage folks on a limited budget, they are not at all necessary.<br/><br/>

How can we apply market pressure on the manufacturers? Why should we put up with overpricing?<br/><br/>

I also think the FDA should get on everyone's case (products that are already out there) and make them finally label all foods that are gluten-free, label them as such! This is a serious matter and I think enough is enough! There are so many regular products that have been around and are gluten-free, it would also help us with costs and save us so much time at the grocery store... Reading labels is very time consuming and annoying!!!<br/><br/>

For some celiacs even the allowable certified amount is too much. I would like to see more manufacturers realize that celiac disease is a problem in the U.S. along with the doctors.<br/><br/>

I saw a $9 tiny loaf of yeast- and gluten-free bread at the health food store. As far as snacking, I try to have one of these around to make me feel better when I'm surrounded by non-gluten-free at work or with friends: carrots, rice crackers, tortilla or veggie chips, fruit/nut bar and homemade trail mix.<br/><br/>

I agree they hold together well. I have tried other corn pastas and they are not as good. Trader Joe's also has gluten-free tomato and other soups which taste very good, and their prices for cereal are good.<br/><br/>

Learning how to cook dishes that are naturally gluten-free (try Vietnamese cuisine!) is a lot of fun - I eat better, and with more variety, than most people I know.<br/><br/>

That is not hard to do at all. What is impossible to do at a reasonable cost is continuing to eat baked goods, pasta, etc., and paying for gluten-free substitutes for all of those.<br/><br/>
