Old Foods You Miss And New Foods You've Discovered

I mostly miss the convenience of eating regular food and being able to eat at restaurants. I have a busy schedule, so it's not always easy to go home and prepare myself something. I also miss baking, although I'm learning new gluten-free recipes. I've been gluten-free for 4 months, so I have found some new things to eat and am getting into a routine. I've discovered grass fed beef and butter and coconut oil. I'm still learning to like veggies more. 

 "Most of all this Christmas I'm going to miss my mom's homemade hot chocolate. It has no gluten...but it's made with milk and the chocolate has soy in it."

I miss good hot cocoa, too. I recently discovered a Pinterest recipe for making your own chocolate bars with organic cocoa and coconut oil. I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to, since most of the chocolate I have found has soy in it, which I've decided I also need to avoid. Maybe coconut or almond milk could replace the dairy- I may try giving that up, too.

Enjoy Life chocolate is great and free of all major allergens. It's so good. Chocolate is my favorite food group. ..I don't want to have to give it up!!

i did mix it, but i get free and loose with my measurements when it comes to flour lolz (1/4 cup?  close enough)  as long as i end up with the total amount and all flours are included, i am good!  lately, i have been using king arthur a.p. and my friend swears by domata so i picked up a sack of that to try again.  she makes brownies with them that are yum-o :)

 

Ok. The flour mix I have is very similar so I might give it a try with that and see how it goes.  Thanks.

gluten-free brownies are one treat that I find is usually better than the "glutenous" variety. Brownies are one gluten-free dessert that I can always bring that no one will turn their noses up at.

I miss good ol fashioned pizza! Or just picking up something and buying it with out having to search for hidden gluten, Corn, Or soy ..... I have tried making breads and buying breads but havn't found anything I like as of yet..... Making breads most of them have so much stuff in them, I don't have and it is pricy to buy all that stuff So I just don't eat any bread.

Christmas time is when my grandma makes Mexican food.. homemade flour tortillas... I miss those. Nothing compares to fresh flour tortillas made with gluten. I have found no good substitute that works like a tortilla should. Thankfully I am a tear and scoop tortilla eater so I don't wrap burritos very often.. but the ones I have tried all tear when you try to roll them! Boo!!

 

I miss dairy, I miss eggs. I haven't found any good breakfast that is quick and nutritious that compares to eggs or Greek yogurt. I miss protein powder. The vegan ones all give me tummy aches too.. not sure what the issue is there but I had to give it up for the time being ( I have colitis too - so these other intolerances are from that).

 

I have made a good Thai red curry at home that I really like... but I have been in a rut when it comes to food lately. Everything triggers my colitis.

I haven't tried gluten-free tortillas yet, but I'm wondering if you popped them in the microwave for a few seconds. That MIGHT make them roll more easily without tearing.

I always heat them up either in the microwave or on a skillet. The best tortilla that has come close to roll well is La Tortilla Factory. But even then I had tearing once it cooled down while eating.

I have a girlfriend who steams tortillas before rolling and it works beautifully. I haven't done it myself - too lazy.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
