you can use any of your fave gluten free bread and crumble it up, OR do what I do, I use Barbara's Instant Mashed Potato Flakes! Tastes great!

I've used gluten free bread as well.

I've also used Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal (Gluten Free Variety). I give them a whirl in my food processor until they're very fine. :)

I make the meatloaf the way I always have--just substituting a slice of my gluten-free sandwich bread, crumbled, for the breadcrumbs per lb. of meat. I do the same thing with meatballs. We really can't tell the difference.

I used to buy corn flakes and grind them up.......then I came across this product in my regular grocery store and I couldn't believe it. It says Gluten Free right smack on the front. Its called Southern Homestyle Corn Flake Crumbs; and it comes in a can shaped like Pringles Potato Chips. It was only 2.49 for a 12 oz can, which is really cheap for a gluten free item.

They are also really great for frying chicken and fish, for making a crumb topping for a casserole, or you can add sugar and cinnamon and butter to make a graham cracker crust..and I could go on and on because use them all the time.

Just remember they are not seasoned so you need to add salt, pepper or whatever seasoning; otherwise they are extremely bland. I find it works best if I add this to the crumbs rather that to the item after its breaded.

I hope you can find them and good luck.

I don't measure everything precisely, but my ground turkey meatloaf is gluten-free and egg-free.

1-1/2 lbs ground turkey

about 1 C Barbara's Brown Rice Crisps

about 1/2 C Ketchup

about 3 Tbs. dried minced onion

1/4 C water with 1 Tbs ground flax seed mixed in to replace egg (optional)

Garlic powder

Pepper

Dash of Worstershire sauce

Mix it all up with your hands, form into meatloaf shape, put in greased dish and bake at 350 for about 55 minutes.

We haven't had beef or eggs in meatloaf for several years and we all like this.

Good luck!

I don't add breadcrumbs. I add chopped onions and greenpeppers, garlic salt and a half a cup of spaghetti sauce. Cook it till browned, then dump more spaghetti sauce on top and serve. It's so good.

I have those corn flake crumbs, katydid! They're good! I also crush up chinese rice crackers... they're good too!

I always used oatmeal to make meatloaf and meatballs, etc. Works great for hamburgers too. Yeah, I know there's the cross-contamination thing, and maybe some can't eat oats. I've not tried oats since going gluten-free, so I don't know if I'd react to them. I suppose the next thing I'd try is maybe rice, millet, or quinoa. Come to think of it, spinach might work well, though I'd recommend giving it a ride in the blender or food processor first. The instant potatoes idea seems good too. Heck, why not use a combination of things? Just don't forget the other stuff like onion, garlic, celery seeds, minced bell peppers, etc, etc.

I have used cheap rice crackers in place of bread crumbs too and when I use them, I reduce the amount of salt I add. I add one chopped onion, one chopped bell pepper, 2 eggs, salt, pepper, and lots of garlic. Next time, I will add a small can of diced tomatoes instead of pasta sauce in the actual meatloaf but still use pasta sauce for the top.

All the Meatloaf Recipes look soooo good! I haven't tried Meatloaf since I've been "gluten-free," but I always used a mixture of Oatmeal & Saltine Cracker crumbs in mine, but I can't do that anymore. Your Meatloaf ideas here sound really good Jessica---- do you have a "gluten-free" Recipe for your Sweet & Sour Meatloaf, using the Minute Rice? Would you be willing to post it and share it with any of us? :rolleyes:

I use ground flax seeds as a filler in my meat loaf. It gives the loaf a nice "nutty" flavor and flax seeds are good for you, too.

I use one large grated potato. It works wonderful and the flavor is absolutely terrific.

Amanda--the potato sounds like a good idea--I'm going to try it. The potato is raw, right?

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
