Here's the information I recieved from all of the wonderful people on
this list.  I edited and compiled it into a list for this young mother,
to be able to go to the grocery store easier.  I did use other
information as well, so thanks to ALL who replied!!!  Julie Linton, RN

My original question is as follows:

  I am a nurse and have just gotten a new client who's child has celiac
  disease.  This young women has her own share of difficulties, and is
  having a difficult time in dealing with her child's disease and diet.
  She is low income and has poor education.  I'm trying to get her more
  information on what types of foods she can buy at her local grocery
  store, that are appropriate and nutritional for her child.  This child
  is extremely small for her age and is at risk for another
  hospitalization soon.  The mother is finding that many foods she
  assumed were glutten free, are actually not.   Can anyone help with
  giving me a list of easy to prepare snacks and foods that I can give
  her???  I have found a lot of information on the net, and have a
  general list of "do's" and "don'ts" for celiacs.  Thanks!
