I also avoid starches, sugars, and carbs for other issues.

She is going on the fact that if you look for "Gluten Free" versions of what she normally eats IE. Pasta, Bread, Noodles, etc...you get low fiber high starch carb bomb alternatives for the cheap low end ones.....like really as someone who studies health and diet....FFS look for the versions made from nut flour, seed flours, and more paleo in nature and you find them packed full of nutrients, fiber, and filling proteins....they are more expensive averaging $6 for a few English muffins, $7-10 for mixes, and $10-16 a loaf of bread but that makes the processed versions become a treat and you tend to stick to more whole foods of veggies, nuts, nut butters, and seeds.
