I remember when I first started on the diet, I subsisted on Skippy peanut butter and Pamela's cookies. Wow!

So I thought it might help people getting started on the diet to list your favorite foods that are naturally gluten free.

Mine would be POTATOES....fry 'em, 'boil 'em, roast 'em with garlic and rosemary, mash 'em. Yum!

And chicken. Could live on potatoes and chicken with garlic and rosemary.

Pot Roast! Either beef or pork roast with red potatos, onions, baby carrots, garlic and mushrooms and whatever spices you are in the mood for! I usually do mine in a roasting bag with added water and YUMMMMM or you can do it in a crock pot till the meat is falling apart!!!

Nachos! Corn chips, shredded cheese, refried beans (I use Ortega or Old El Paso), and salsa and sour cream!

Popcorn, especially fresh air popped popcorn or the classic popped in oil! (I also like Orville Reddenbachers movie theater butter microwaveable popcorn

Rice. Rice. and More Rice! I love Rice! Brown rice, white rice, sushi rice, arborio rice, even wild rice (not really a rice but a grass)

Big stuffed baked potatoes with steamed broccoli, melted Velveeta, butter and sour cream!

A big ol fat juicy steak (grilled on a clean grill and not marinated in gluten)

blueberries, kiwi, bannanas, strawberries, mangos, carrots, spinach (I know, I'm weird, but I really like spinach lately :)), lentils, rice, garbanzo beans (mostly in the form of hummus), chicken, cashews, almonds, avocado, cucumbers....

I don't think I truly appreciated any of these foods until I stopped eating gluten, but now just looking at my list makes me hungry :)

Oh and here's a great list:

Out of those 130 foods, there only five we can't have (oats, rye, spelt, whole wheat and of course, watch the soy sauce :))

Chicken - you can grill it, bake it, stir fry it, sautee it, broil it, microwave it; you can use it in salads, casseroles, soups, plain, sandwhiches; you can spice it ten ways to heaven. It's just truely versatile, and doesn't have to be expensive.

Beans - also very versatile, and, when in a can, fast.

Apples - good for cooking (pies, in muffins, whole), eating raw, putting in hot breakfast cereal, having with peanut butter (or cheese if you do dairy), and always available

Hummus - 'cause I love it. :P

Great link Mango!

I would have to go with rice (all varieties), potatoes (all varieties) and other root vegetables, beans and lentils, nuts and nut butters (check labels of course), seeds, all fruits and vegetables, avocadoes, chicken, turkey, and beef.

When I first went gluten-free it was back to hard core basics...meat and a carb (yippee for rice and potatos) and fresh veggies. But my all time favorite when I wanted to feel like I was eating the old food is as follows:

In a little olive oil cook up some shrimp, fresh garlic and parsley.....toss into Tinkyada penne pasta and top with some fresh grated parmasean and romano.....YUMMM. It was one of the few quick items I could whip up that didn't taste like cardboard, lol.

LOL!!! I think for the 1st month I was gluten free I consumed more Skippy Peanut butter than I'd had in all 27 years before being diagnosed.

I love:

Blueberries, bananas and strawberries with sour cream (or without, but this is a snack I love)

Apples and Peanut Butter

Rice

Whole Foods Shrimp Bisque Soup

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (Pistachio, Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia)

Seafood Risotto

London Broil

Oh boy, I think I could keep going!!!

My staples, even now, are:

Mexican food - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, taco salad

Potatoes (love them every way!) - baked, fried, twice baked, with sour cream, with cheese, with bacon, with Hormel chili

Spaghetti (tink pasta)

Pizza w/ hormel canadian bacon, a string cheese, fresh basil and spaghetti sauce

Soup-right now I am obsessed with Tuscan Tomato soup - I'll post recipe tomorrow if I remember....

I love to make salads with lots of chicken and tomatoes :)

Rice crisp cereal - Erwhon has a good gluten-free kind, also really like New Morning cocoa crisps - i love to make rice crispy treats with half of each :)

Also, I have a hard time digesting beans, but I LOVE THEM! So I use beano...it's gluten-free :) and I like the liquid drops, I just add them to my first bite, and it really keeps the gas to a minimum.

Great post idea!

on a side note (sorry!): mtndog-- would you mind sharing your recipe for chicken rice soup? would it be ok to leave the chicken out?? i used to make a really good one before going gluten-free (& just left the chick out) but it is made with cream soup and also rice packet that has gluten in the seasoning... thanks! :)

anything with any kind of potatoes :)

shepherd's pie

beef stew

chili (on rice)

indian curry dishes w/papadums

sauteed cauliflower, onions and carrots

buckwheat with onion and bacon

cabbage rolls

chicken & corn hash (served w/poached eggs)

homemade chicken soup w/rice

turkey w/cranberry relish and mashed potatoes

BBQ pork tenderloin w/skewered veggies (zucchini, peppers and onions)

Chicken souvlaki over rice w/roasted potatoes & lemon

fresh salmon w/rice, spaghetti squash and zucchini

Okay, this list could get too long too. :D

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
