After my allergies kicked in, I stripped my diet to basics to avoid an allergic reaction. Rice, beans, fresh fruits and veggies were all safe. Mind you, that gets boring quick, so I hurried to research gluten free grains and recipes on the web and look at cookbooks in my library. I slowly added eggs and dried fruits and chips, after carefully reading labels (an allergic reaction to dried cranberries and shelled nuts due to cross contamination is a brutal teacher).
If you do find you react to gluten/corn/soy/milk/whatever, prepare to do a lot of home cooking. Cooking for Isaiah is a great cookbook. The waffle bread alone was a game changer for me.
My advice? Take a week or two to strip back your diet to see if you react to certain foods. It's the only way to find out if the GF diet is worth it to you.
