    Free Gluten Free Food Assistance

    November 30, 2021 by burntapple 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

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!

    Welcome home...to a REAL home! One that is busy, on the go and doesn't have time to sit all day in the kitchen!

    All of our recipes include adaptations for a variety of different dietary needs. Most of our recipes are gluten free and many are dairy free and FODMAP friendly too! All recipes are easily labeled for you.
