Gluten free tips and recipes? Newly diagnosed coeliac!

Hope it's okay to post here! As title says, just been diagnosed coeliac (bummer) age 33.

I've been pescatarian since I was 6 which is quite inconvenient now tbh since it limits my options further!

Found some good GF alternatives but my god they're so expensive! Barilla pasta £4 for 300g, I saw a 1 for 1 flour with xantham gum mixed in on Amazon: £20 for 1.5kg!

DH and I both enjoy cooking but I think I'm going to have to do a lot more from scratch for myself and maybe bring food out with me for on the go?

Anyone who's gone gluten free got any good tips or recipes? TIA!

I've just checked a pack of Natco green lentils, one of channa dall and one of chickpeas, all from the world food aisle in Tesco, the allergen advice is "packed in a factory that also processes nuts in a different area".

I'm going to Tesco tomorrow, will have a look and double check.

The Tesco red lentils do indeed say, “May contain wheat & gluten”. Very annoying for you!
