Being gluten free sucks when you live in a developing country

Nobody gives a shit. There is no gluten -free option on menus. EVERYTHING has gluten. Ppl act like it's sth you do for show-off and they think being gluten free and being vegan/vegetarian is basically the same thing. There is just two company that produce gluten-free stuff and one of them sucks, and for using the other you should be approved on a list that you have celiac. You know how many ppl are on that list where I live? 50! Only 50 ppl on that list in this city, and I live in a metropolis! Yeah, ofc you can find gluten-free products imported from other countries, but they are too expensive to live on them.
Fuck!

I know some countries have wheat based diets and it’s very difficult to get away from it. I hope you find some flours that have no gluten in them and are able to buy them at an affordable price.

@cherokeepatti Thx! Yes I can buy a mixed flour, rice flour and corn flour. I prefer the mix.

@WonderfulOne I’ve bought gluten-free flour mixes and some are good and some not so good especially to make bread like yeast rolls. I have also purchased a lot of different types of individual flours…tapioca (cassava), quinoa, rice flour, brown rice flour, corn meal & arepa corn meal, almond flour, potato starch, coconut flour. Sometimes I mix up muffins or banana bars with the individual flours and kind of make up my own recipes. Tapioca-cheese rolls are a favorite and are baked in muffin tins, can also use tapioca flour and coconut flour mixed to make flatbreads similar to tortillas. I also make 4 inch mini waffles and use them for bread buns for sandwiches.
