My son has to be on a gluten free diet. We gradually transitioned into it. So, I started with gluten free breakfasts. Smoothies, GF toast or rice cakes with peanut butter (kinninnick is a good brand of GF EVERYTHING), rice chex (they are gluten free now), fruit, nuts, GF pancakes and waffles (made with Pamela's GF baking mix - yummy), eggs, etc.

After a week or so of that, we added GF lunches. Then snacks, then dinners....

One way to do it that is less expensive and easier is to focus on eating foods that are NATURALLY gluten free - rice, beans, tacos, chili, etc. Lots of ethnic type foods - chinese, thai, indian, mexican, etc. - have MANY gluten free selections. Potatoes are yummy and gluten free.

We would buy one or two gluten free things at a time to try - some were HORRIBLE and some were really delicious. The horrible things we just tossed and the delicious things became part of his menu. We made the transition gradually so we wouldn't go broke!

He's been GF for something like 5 years now. PM me if you have any questions about brands, etc. and maybe I can help
