OK, everyone, I know this is going to be the question of the year, but is there ONE place that all of us can rate the different recipes and products we try? I am thinking something along the lines of allrecipes.com.

Is it really necessary for all of us to try a recipe that turns out like cardboard, or all buy that box of $12 cookies that taste like sand? Fortunately, there are lots of gluten-free products and recipes out there now, but like ones that aren't gluten-free, there are some that just aren't good.

If there is something I don't know about, or this has been already posted to death (like that 3-rice flour thing), I'm sorry. I just think it'd be a great idea if we could save each other the expense of buying something you don't like or spending 4 hours baking something not even the dog will eat.

This message board sort of meets that need, but you really have to search the posts about recipes and products.

Any suggestions, or am I a wishful thinker?

One of the posts in the foods/products section started with a question about people's 3 worst gluten-free foods ever and is full of "bests" and "worsts" and is a lot of fun to read through. Most of the opinions agree, but there are occasional people who like what everyone else hates. It might help you out. It would be good to have a ratings section with the cost of these foods. I could also use a section for recipes that ended up disgusting after all that work.

It's kinda funny... if you read over the posts about things here, you'll see that there isn't always a consensus on things. A lot of people like one thing, but a good number of people won't like the same item, so - unfortunately - you're stuck with a fair amount of trying things sometimes. But I don't know of a place (other than randomly here) to do that for strictly gluten-free stuff.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.
