My Favorite Gluten-Free Foods for Managing My MS Symptoms

I’ve been on a gluten-free diet for 10 years because I find it helps lessen the chronic pain and fatigue associated with my multiple sclerosis (MS).

I went through a lot of trial and error to find my favorite gluten-free products, and I hope others enjoy them, too!

1. Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Multigrain Bread

When I stumbled upon this bread made with sprouted and ancient grains, I’d already tried countless other options. This is by far the softest and best-tasting gluten-free bread — and the only one I stock in my freezer.

2. Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour

I went through trial and error searching for a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour that didn’t result in dense or dry baked goods. Then, a friend recommended this product, and I haven’t looked back since.

3. Kashi Gluten Free Waffles, Cinnamon

Other gluten-free waffles were dense and bitter. These are soft and delicious, and you’d never know they were gluten-free!

4. 4C Gluten Free Crumbs

Seasoned with pecorino Romano cheese, these breadcrumbs keep the meatloaf moist while adding the flavor of Italian seasoning.

5. Stonewall Kitchen Gluten Free Cornbread Mix

When I make chili, my family enjoys cornbread with it. This gluten-free mix is moist and sweeter than other mixes I’ve tried, and my children agree!

6. Snyder’s of Hanover Gluten Free Pretzels

These pretzels come in various shapes and flavors and taste just like their glutenous counterparts. They come in snack packs, too!

7. Heritage Select Basmati Rice Variety Pack

Gluten is often hidden in seasoning mixtures, making rice packets difficult to purchase for those on a gluten-free diet. These rice packs are labeled as gluten-free, and they’re quite tasty, too! The Cranberries & Almonds flavor, with a hint of sweetness, is my favorite variety.

8. Cinnamon Chex

Chex offers numerous gluten-free options, but the Cinnamon Chex is my favorite go-to cereal for breakfast or snack.

9. Barilla Red Lentil Rotini

I like this pasta because it is naturally gluten-free and has more fiber and protein than other gluten-free pasta.

10. Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Baking Mix

If you’re a pumpkin fanatic, this mix might become your favorite. Available at Trader Joe’s for a limited time in the fall, I usually stock up for the winter. And if you’re lucky, you might find it on Amazon during the offseason!
