    Free Gluten Free Food Assistance

    Published: Nov 30, 2021 by burntapple · This post may contain affiliate links · 3 Comments

    The cost of gluten free food on average is about 183% higher than similar non gluten free products. Now there is a non profit that aims to help fight the high costs of gluten free foods by providing the 1 in 6 people with a gluten allergy who struggle to find access and afford gluten free food.

    "stocking up on gluten free food during quarantine? --I am never going to financially recover from this." --meme

    The cost of gluten free foods is no joke! Gluten free products are on average 183% higher in cost! In fact the four rolls I bought for Thanksgiving were $5.99. I bought 24 gluten filled rolls for the same cost. It honestly feels so financially draining to be gluten free sometimes.

    resources for gluten free food assistance

    • if you have a written diagnosis of celiac disease, you are eligible for certain tax deductions.
    • if you receive food stamps or similar assistance, gluten free foods are eligible.
    • avoiding buying pre packaged gluten free foods saves a TON of money (it's just not very practical for busy people!)
    • non profit organizations that offer food help
