I would like to start up some sharing to do with Gluten free living. I am a person that has had to live gluten free, not by choice but to improve my well being. Who else has had this experience here? What tips do you have.

My 11 year old has to avoid Gluten (among other things) and found it hard to understand that many soups and confectionery contain gluten. Take away options are very limited but there are good ones out there - unfortunately it can be hit and miss.
The coeliac society produces an ingredients list that tells you what ingredients contain gluten (glucose syrup from wheat is considered gluten free) and is handy to take shopping. In Australia the "Gluten Free" labelling means you do not have to read the ingredients list but everything else needs to be scanned.
Many major manufacturers like Kraft or Cerebos Foods produce lists of gluten free products in their range and will respond to emails addressed to customer service.
My son eats lots of unprocessed meat, fruits & vegetables as I know they cannot contain any gluten.
