Thank you to everyone who responded. A couple of people mentioned
that I should be aware of the requirement of medical deductions
needing to be at least 7.5% of one's AGI (which I am almost positive is
my case). A few people told me that this is a complicated matter and
should be handed over to a CPA (I am considering). Many people told
me that if a product is 'naturally' gluten free then it can not be deducted
and that I can only deduct the difference in price (which I was aware of,
but failed to mention in my post). One person told me that I can deduct
whatever amount is over and above the cost of regular food, and that it
doesn't matter what the food is.

I still don't feel that I understand something. If a product doesn't
contain gluten, but the brand is susceptible to cross contamination,
and therefore I buy another brand at a higher price, which is not cross
contaminated, why can't I deduct the difference? It seems that all
except for one person mentioned above say that it can't be deducted
because it is 'inherently' gluten free. But yet, I still can't really purchase
it due to possible cross contamination issues. If someone can clarify
this issue for me, I would be greatly appreciative.
