Gluten Allergy? HELP!

I'm in Nova Scotia. The site I mentioned is in the US so it would be great to find something else.

My hubby was diagnosed celiac about 6 months ago and I am surprised to learn that white rice isn't gluten free?! Goes to show you that going wheat free has a definite learning curve. I find that it can be quite expensive to go gluten free. I was buying a lot of the baking mixes,which are very pricey so since I've started my Christmas baking I'm trying to make my own flour mix. Cfred, what type of flour do you combine the xantham gum with?
I've found deli meats that are gluten free. I don't eat them because of the nitrates but my hubby does. I've also heard that oats are often contaminated with gluten because of how they're processed.
