The Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide by Triumph Dining Gluten-Free Publishing (2010) Paperback

Triumph Dining's Grocery Guide is absolutely the best gluten free shopping guide available. The easy reference table of contacts on the inside front cover makes the book incredibly user friendly. I get overwhelmed when I look at all of the different products on the shelves at the grocery store. The book is easy to bring along with me and makes food shopping enjoyable again. I couldn't imagine going food shopping without it! It is a lifesaver.

The Triumph grocery guide has been great. It's tremendously useful to have a handy reference guide for the grocery store that make it easy to know what is safe and what isn't.. It's organized clearly by "category" and then by brand and I have found it both very portable and easy to flip through when I'm planning a shopping list or standing in the grocery store contemplating a purchase. I even find myself browsing through it rather than using it just as a reference book. I was diagnosed as Celiac only 6 months ago and there has been a tremendous education project to learn how I need to adjust my diet. This book has been great to help me get up the learning curve and has made me realize how many things I can still eat. Also, I haven't had any problems with the accuracy of any of the information - all the food described as gluten-free has been. Finally, there are a couple of summary tables that are quite useful. I like the easy reference ingredient list (to help me remember things like "semolina" is no good but "flax" is ok). Also, the summary of the new food labeling laws is great!

I recently had to start cooking gluten-free. I had spent years compiling all these recipes I liked, and suddenly I felt like I had to start over from scratch. Luckily I found this guide and right away I was able to tell whether or not the ingredients I used were safe, and what I could use as substitutes. The guide itself is brightly colored and encouraging looking. And also it's really easy to use. I don't even bring it along with me, I just use it to make shopping lists when I'm planning recipes.

My school aged daughter was recently diagnosed with gluten sensitivities and as most people know, the learning curve to gluten free living is steep. Having a resource that so clearly breaks things down for weekly grocery shopping has been such a time saver. I highly reccomend Triumphs Gluten Free Grocery Guide 2nd edition as a must resource. The book is small enough to fit in my purse and is well organized. The cost of gluten free living is high, but it was such a relief to see many commericial products such as many of Newman's salad dressings that are gluten free. They also include a number of regional grocery brand products such as "Stop and Shop" which also helps in terms of choice and price. Overall, this resource has really opened up the number of commercial choices that my daughter can eat especially in the snack department which for kids is huge. The staff at Triumph is extremely approachable as well. I had a question on Nutella hazelnut spread which was not listed in the book. The staff researched the issue and happily for my daughter, Nutella is gluten-free. Anyway, I know many of you may be on the fence about spending over $20 for a paperback but honestly, it is money well spent not having to hurt your eyes reading labels or spending over 2 hours each trip in a grocery store. I applaud Triumph for publishing this resource.
