Gluten-Free Foods: 6 Affordable Options (PHOTOS)

With the increased awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance, new gluten-free products are continually hitting the market. Many of these products come with a high price tag as they must be produced in specially designed kitchens separate from products made with wheat, spelt, rye or barley. Some gluten-free foods contain uncommon flours and ingredients to maximize their texture and palatability. Eating a gluten-free diet does not have to cost a lot of money, however. Many foods are naturally gluten-free and will not add a lot to your grocery bill.
