Hello Everyone,
I have tested positive on a home Biocard Test and am having a lab test next week. I figure regardless of my blood work results I will be going Gluten Free. Since I have to stay on gluten until all the tests are complete, I might as well treat myself to everything I won't be able to eat after I cut out the gluten.
Is there anything that really doesn't have a comparable gluten free version?
I am just getting a bit nervous I guess.
Thanks!

Phyllo dough as in spanikopitas and such. Get your fill of good flaky pastry. Enjoy a last croissant or two because while there are subs they do not have that buttery deliciousness. Sourdough french bread - chow down on a loaf of that. Those are the things I wish I could still eat

I still miss crusty bread and nobake cookies(aka novacks) but I'm also severely gluten free oat intolerant.
Me:
Celiac disease(positive blood work/biopsy- 10/2008), gluten free oat intolerent, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis/Disease, Raynaud's Disease
DS2(age 8):
celiac disease(positive IgA tTG, no biopsy- 11/2010)
DS1(age 12):
repeated negative bloodwork and negative EGD/biopsy. Started on a gluten free trial(8/2011). He has decided to stay gluten free due to all of the improvements he has experienced on the diet.

1. Beer. gluten-free beer is ok, but I was a beer snob before and the fact that I can't have a Brewster's stout or two this winter is really disappointing.
2. My grandmother's recipe for sweet dough cinnamon buns. They were absolutely amazing, and it makes me a bit sad I'll never taste her recipe again. I'll miss this the most.
3. Perogies... but I know a good celiac Ukranian who has a gluten-free recipe so I might try it this fall.
4. Convenience. I think I notice this one the most. I can't order a cookie with my coffee, or even some flavoured coffees. Timbits are out. I miss not having to worry about packing gluten-free snacks if I'm running errands with the kids; it was so much easier to order a pizza if running late or buy a burger with fries. Making gluten-free chicken nuggets for my kids is definitely more of a hassle that opening a frozen box up... I'm slowly getting used to not relying on convenience foods but that is the thing, for me, that is the hardest to adjust to.

You need to do a search on here for J.N. Bunnie's cinnamon buns. I haven't made them yet but they look (and others have said) they are to die for
Okay, here ya go: http://www.celiac.co...-cinnamon-buns/
I did the search for you.

Aw... thanks Neroli! I've printed it off and I'll give it a try. That was nice of you to do.
... And Company's Coming Gluten Free Cookbook has a yummy looking recipe and starter for sourdough. I'm afraid I don't have the recipe but the picture made my mouth water.

Glazed Old Fashioned Donut - forgot to have one in the days before going gluten-free - coulda, shoulda - didn't.
Flaky, buttery Croissant --- Ohhhhh
FRESH bread, French or Sourdough - warm with butter --- Ahhhhh
It really is a rare occasion for me to miss any gluten item, but I frequently wish for the ability to go to a restaurant and try whatever their specialty is.

Undiagnosed Celiac Disease ~ 43 years
3/26/09 gluten-free - dignosed celiac - blood 3/3/09, biopsy 3/26/09, double DQ2 / single DQ8 positive
10/27/09 diagnosed fibromyalgia - supplemented with amino acids - improvement followed by substantial deterioration
maybe one good hour per day for ~17 months
8/10/11 - Elimination Diet for Autoimmune Disease - incredible improvement along with clear reactions to most high lectin foods
only remaining symptom - severe heat intolerance / reaction to heat, humidity and exercise
Tomato, Pepper, Potato, Peanut, Soy, Bean, Pea, Citrus, Pineapple, Avocado, Shellfish, Dairy, Grain, Nut and Seed FREE
3/1/12 - Horrible flare -- same ol' symptoms but worse ~ 7/1/12 - Endo: Active Celiac 3+ years - as gluten-free as humanly possible.
11/15/12 - Improving once again - Almonds back - Eggs gone
12/1/12 - Histamine containing and inducing foods FREE - finally the last piece of the puzzle (I hope) -- the cause of my heat/exercise "allergy"...
...this was one of my earliest symptoms as a child -- the enzyme (DAO) needed to regulate histamine is created in the small intestine.
6/1/13 - Slowly trialing a few of the items above - haven't gotten any back, but some reactions have been less severe

Rye bread. How I miss a hot delicious loaf of rye! And obviously, there is no gluten-free sub for that!

Oh no! I think I will be gaining a few pounds in the next couple of weeks!
I did not even think of the rye bread...
I wonder if my mom could ( and would) make her German Christmas Stollen with a different flour.
Are any gluten-free beers any good?
No gluten in red wine, right? RIGHT?!
