<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Check out the summary that I contributed to on Scott Adams' Celiac page (Celiac.com). Essentially, the differential between the cost of GF food and the cost of the "regular" versions of the same food are potentially tax deductible. In addition, the cost of any special items that you purchase solely because of CD, such as Xanthan Gum, are fully deductible. The hurdles most people encounter is (1) that the total of the additional costs, along with their other medical expenses, is frequently insufficient to be able to take the medical deduction, and (2) the voluminous records that must be kept to support the deduction. See your personal tax preparer for further detail, or e-mail me if he or she cannot answer your questions. By the way, the above discussion applies ONLY to United States income tax returns.
