So sorry to hear how sick you daughter got nightquilter. Most of the people I know on the gf started from a place of crisis. For myself I was so extremely anemic (among other things) that the doctor told me it was causing congestive heart failure. I definitely agree that fresh is healthiest, and is also less costly. Many of the processed gf products are low fiber and high in sodium. Unfortunately trial and error is the only way to really find the gf products you personally will prefer. For instance, I really dislike the brown rice noodles and prefer the corn noodles. I get my bread from Giant Eagle, it is called Goodbye Gluten. I can actually eat it untoasted.
