Hi welcome to our little family, bit of a heads up the diet is much easier to manage if you stick to unprocessed foods and keep from scratch with whole foods. Bit more trouble bit worth it for the piece of mind,omlettes, stir fry, soups, stews, baked meat, sauteed/steamed veggies, baked/mashed/roasted potatoes, crock pot meals, and if checked, sorted and wash rice and beans Simple old style dishes work best.

Candy...I developed sugar issues, I use Spry mints, Spry Gum, and some stuff like Lakanto Chocolate Bars and raw cocoa nibs for my sugar free treats. I also run a gluten free bakery and make my own low carb breads and desserts.

Symptom wise everyone is different, I get numbness, brain fog, and diarrhea, and with a major exposure and nothing taken with it I have had motor loss....Symptoms also change and evolve over the years...I used to never have diarrhea just constipation....I also used to have "Hyde" moments where I would turn angry, get confused with looping thoughts and punch walls....that has not happened in over 4 years on the gluten free diet even with accidental glutenings.

Here are some helpful links and stuff to help you out, and if you wish for some processed foods I have a few list of products/brands you can go for.
