It would be an understatement to say that being diagnosed with celiac disease earlier this year completely upended my life. I quickly had to cut gluten — and therefore some of my favorite foods — out of my life for good.

While I was bummed that I'd no longer freely be able to eat whatever I wanted to (now I have to read ingredient labels diligently), I've found some seriously tasty snacks to fill the cookie- and cracker-filled hole in my stomach.

More than three million Americans have celiac disease, a serious autoimmune disorder that causes intestinal damage if left untreated — so sticking to a gluten-free diet is a must. May is Celiac Awareness Month, so I wanted to share the gluten-free snacks I can't get enough of these days.

One pro tip: To avoid potential cross contamination, look for the certified gluten-free label to ensure any snacks you're buying aren't processed in a shared facility. (Looking for tasty A.M. options? Try these gluten-free breakfast recipes.)

Here are the best gluten-free snacks to enjoy munching on this Celiac Awareness Month and beyond.
