For eating out cross contamination can be hard to avoid. Some restaurant genres like some types of Indian food often don't use much gluten ingredients naturally, so they might be a safer bet although you probably should ask if you're concerned. A few restaurants where I live explicitly offer gluten free options including preparation. Most grocery stores I've been into have some selection of gluten free breads & cookies, some of which are pretty good. Price varying from moderately more to quite expensive. At home I usually find it easier (and much cheaper!) to just eat food that is naturally gluten-free (like rice and potatoes) instead of gluten free versions of wheat based foods. If you don't already own a rice cooker I'd suggest getting one (the cheap ones are fine), I think almost everyone who eats rice as a staple food uses one.
