Gluten Free Food Alternative List 2018 Q3

[Ennis-TX]

Updated list here new links, and composed in a more organized manner LOOK for * on links and you can order from them directly, at the bottom are some websites to purchase from
NOTE these are alternative foods, in many cases WHOLE foods of 1 ingredient are your best friend with the gluten free diet and cooking in your own home. I made this list to make the transition simpler for many, give treat options, and show safe brands for certain foods that many have used. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK LABELS AND INGREDIENTS they are subject to change, and some companies make BOTH a gluten free and a gluten version of a product MAKE SURE your getting the right one.

Full Meal Options/Entrees, broad spectrum companies
