I am not sure why it is so expensive but if you are eating these types of food b/c of allergies or medical conditions then try just buying the flours and learn to make some of it yourself.
I used to buy it for a friend, look thru your regular grocery store for I think the name was Red Mill...yes, I just googled it for you, it's Red Mill.
Another alternative is to buy a vita mix machine and grind your own stuff. This machine is absolutely everything the company says it is! Its the one thing I couldn't do without in my kitchen...what other machine can puree vegetables & meat & turn it into steaming hot soup {in 5 mins, no pot!} AND make ice cream? lol I love it! Makes whole juices in nothing flat, grind whatever grain you want & knead it into bread dough in a few mins...I have had mine for years.

I suppose it is because of the processes these type of foods must go through to remove either the gluten or wheat. However, I cannot see why wheat free products are more expensive though I can with the gluten.

i think that as these products are mainly for people with wheat and gluten allergies or intollerances, then they must have special factories where no other wheat or gluten products are made. if not, then they wouldn't be able to say they were completely wheat or gluten free.
also, these are specialised products and making cakes, bread, and so on without wheat and gluten can be quite difficult. i think the effort going into making them is much more than with standard stuff.

Because it is not mass produced in high quantities it make it more expensive as is free range and organic foods.

Because they don't have enough competition to drive the prices lower. If walmart started making a store brand of those, the name brands would be a lot lower.
