I try to stay away from processed foods. I agree that processed gluten free foods will not help you!! They are simply gluten free junk food.

I've been staying away from processed gluten-free foods (with the exception of pasta as an occasional treat) and have been instead focusing on eating foods that are naturally gluten-free (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, some dairy, meats). Instead of having pasta, I'll make zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Rather than having flavoured rice, I'll eat wild rice. Of course I do still have gluten-free cookies or cupcakes when I feel the urge - some are actually pretty yummy!
