I recently attended the Gluten Free Allergen Friendly Expo in Atlanta, which was a lot of fun! I was lucky enough to sample tons of gluten free foods, some that were brand new to the market and others that were just new to me. I also met some amazing people who were kind enough to share the stories of how their brands started and why they create products for the celiac and gluten free community.
As Celiac Disease Awareness Month comes to an end, I feel grateful that there are so many options for those following a gluten free diet, and for the GFAF Expo for bringing delicious products directly to the consumers. One thing in particular that I found really helpful was that many of the brands had handouts on where to find their foods or grocery store request forms that people can bring to their local stores. While there are a lot of gluten free products, it can be difficult at times to find them when you’re grocery shopping, so this was a huge help!
Here’s a rundown of some of the awesome products I sampled (in alphabetical order). I encourage you to look for them at your local grocery stores and give them a try!
