Some people who are celiac and gluten-free don’t do oatmeal, especially Quaker Oats, since the cross-contamination factor is high. DH and S2 were diagnosed back in the dark ages @garland references, when you had to call 800 numbers to get ingredient information.

Yes, once the problem was availability. Now, the problem is definition. All sorts of items are “gluten free” but that may not make them gluten-free for people who are reacting to the processing or preparation or lack of oversight in defining gluten-free. Dominos “gluten free” pizza doesn’t have gluten in it – but it’s made in a pizza place, for cryin out loud. “Not suitable for celiacs” is printed right on the box. But I digress

@mathmom, that meatloaf sounds divine! OP, you could use the leftover almond flour to make crackers – you just need the almond flour, spice (paprika, garlic, etc.) an egg and maybe parmesean if you like. Tasty and easy and you won’t feel the pain of that pricey bag as much
