I would suggest the Triumph Dining Grocery Guide. You can find it at www.triumphdining.com or through the Gluten Free Mall on this site.

EDIT: It's not free, but worth every penny.

I know here in Michigan there is an American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association and if you call them they will send you information on any autoimmune diseases you may have. I am thinking that there is probably similar associations in other states.

Aside from the grocery shopping guides,

Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guides

http://www.ceceliasmarketplace.com/

there's another out that can also be downloaded to your PDA device, etc., by Clan Thompson.

I have the ceceliasmarketplace, was about $25 (worth it).

For free: You can get online and go to websites, like Heinz for example - they post a gluten free product list. Many manufacturers do, and grocery stores often have a list available as well.

A list of companies that has a clear gluten policy. If you don't see "wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, oats" on the labels, its not there, or hidden in "flavors, starches, etc." http://www.glutenfre...lists/index.htm and http://glutenfreeins...ct_updates.html This makes shopping MUCH easier.

FDA foods are required to list wheat - it cannot be hidden.

Rule #1: Never eat anything without reading the label first.

Rule #2: Consistently check labels, even of your favorite products, as product formulations can change.

Rule #3: If you are unsure of an ingredient, or the company's policy on labeling, call the phone number on the back of the product or email the company.

There is also a gluten free list app on the I-Phone. I'm not sure how good it is, but my husband just put it on his phone for me. He has the I-Phone, not me. Anyway, it's a one time charge of about $6.00. The foods listed have a dated listed next to the food saying when it was verified gluten free. I skimmed through it the other night and thought it was pretty good and would have definitely used it when I was first diagnosed. I also use the lists that Happygirl has listed. Glutenfreeindy is one of my favorites and made shopping so much easier.
