- Scott Adams replied to lmemsm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications1Finding gluten free ingredients
I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, ... -

beans in dessert recipes
Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly i... -

Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either. I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having. Poor absorption of essential nutrients is...- asymtomatic

I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. ... -

Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve... -
This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free. I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten. There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs. I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can. I think Badia lists their spices...

Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either. I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having. Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease. The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial. New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient. There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our... -
