So I live in the US, and was diagnosed with Celiac almost a month ago, and have been trying to stay GF. I just bought some Cheerios because the box is labeled gluten free, and was told they were safe; just to find out that it's actually not due to cross contamination. I only found out after my stomach started hurting and double checking online. Did some more research, and despite being told Rice Krispies would be safe, they also usually aren't. I've also seen people say that even GF labeled Kellog's stuff isn't trustworthy. If I can't trust GF labels, how can I know for sure what's safe? Instead of having to look at multiple websites to find a consensus, what's the best go to source I can trust to be accurate?

I am a fulltime worker in NY, who earns $33,280 per year, and I have no other household members. I'm above the 200% limit of $31,300, I was on the 250 plan, and now I have no insurance. I wasn't aware my insurance was cut until my doctor called to tell me and cancel my appointment. I've always only been on an essential plan, so I was surprised it jumps from paying nothing but copays only at appointments to 200 or 400$ monthly. I can't reduce the hours I work at my current job, and I wasn't sure if I should get an IRA before tax. I'm only 27, and it says I would have to pay a 10% fee whenever I needed to withdraw anything until I'm 59 1/2 years old. I wear glasses and have a history of needing dental work, so I would want to have those covered. After Googling, I saw other posts about this issue a few months ago, but I was wondering if there were any new options available since then? is NY doing anything to help? I only know that I would qualify for a tax credit of 500$? But that barely covers 1-3 months, let alone a full year.

Edit: The insurances I was told about on the phone are the metal ones, or the 200$ one being a Fidelis plan of some sort? Also, when I tried to look up what I qualify for online, it only showed me the essential plans that no longer exist.
