In the market, today you can find from rice flour, corn flour and there are certainly other options. As the almond flour that can be tailored to your recipes.
Gluten-free flours
Almond Flour: This seed is rich in monounsaturated fat, protein and fiber. Almond flour can be used to make almost everything that makes wheat flour, with minor adjustments in baking techniques. Prefer this flour for baked goods lighter in texture, like cakes.
Coconut Flour: Along with almond flour, coconut flour provides a finer texture to our recipes, baking being better. It also works for breading, fish, poultry and meats as well as a thickener for liquids.
Ground flaxseed: You can use it for breading, or even mixed with other flours for baking.

Amazing, actually now there are a lot of products for people who have this problem, and they are not expensive or something like that, so if you have it, you should totally try them out and it?s better if you prepare your own food at home with the healthy ingredient you like, this way you can control your food intake better and avoid products that contain gluten

PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT TOLERATE THE GLUTEN! Some of my son’s friends have this problem, I don’t know why but more and more people are getting intolerant to this ingredient, that’s weird

Now that Celiac disease is becoming so much more common, I’m startign to see a lot of products that are available both in restaurants and in the store that are gluten-free. I personally don’t have celiac disease, but I don’t eat that many grains anyway, as I tend to eat a lot of steamed vegetables and fresh fruit. That’s a good option too for celiacs.
