Can you talk me through how you go about food shopping for yourself or a member of your family that has a food allergy. Do you go to the local supermarket or specialist store? If a supermarket, do you buy from the health food aisle or regular aisles? Do you have to check every ingredient label or do products advertise themselves well enough? Do you have to buy specific foods? Is your food bill more expensive as a result?

I am suffering from gluten intolerance since many years, , but I just realized it, so I stopped eating bread and cookies and all stuff. But I buy all this stuff from organic or health food aisle, coles and Woolworth. Its costly so sometimes I make them at home.you can get gluten free white flour and there are different gluten free flours available. You can make bread and cookies and whatever you like.i am from India and now I stopped eating wheat flour and started using rice flour and chickpea flour.you can make pancakes from it.hope this help you
