For chicken and fish I have always dipped them in regular all purpose flour or breadcrumbs but seeking a healthier option, any ideas please?

Almond flour is a VERY common one, look up recipes yourself, I have used coconut for a softer breading, works well, I have a customer at my bakery who claims she loves dipping her chicken in chia seeds then frying them...bit extra crunchy.
I have used bean chips like Beanitos and Beanfields flavored chips pulsed in a food processor for breading (like using dorritos).
There are several companies that make gluten free breading like Ian's makes a panko like breading for extra crispy ones, there is another that makes a extra crispy pre seasoned almond one.

DID you know that some fast food chains use rice flour on their fried chicken?

Those are indeed great ideas, thank you very much! Will look into the gluten free breading.

I like Tom Sawyer flour for stuff like meats and scalloped potatoes and use Pamela's Mix for baked goods.

We use gluten-free breadcrumbs or rice flour. Tried gluten-free panko and it was way too hard on my teeth!

Oh, the description said it was crispy but didn't realize it would be hard, what about this one?

For someone like you who does not need to be gluten-free, I don't think gluten-free substitutes are any healthier than gluten.  Sometimes, gluten-free is not as healthy, as they may  have less fiber and nutritents and added sugar or fat or gums to make up for the lack of gluten.

Better Batter has a great all purpose gluten-free flour. The Company's founder has 2 children with Celiac and is very careful about its products.    Its chocolate cupcake mix is awesome too.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. It's unlikely that they contain any gluten, but not impossible. This is the one I looked at: https://www.preservision.com/areds-2-formula-minigels/

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey—it sounds like you’ve been through a lot, but it’s great to hear you’re feeling better since cutting out gluten! The struggle to get clear answers can be so frustrating, especially when tests come back negative but your body is clearly reacting. It’s smart to hold off on retesting for celiac until you’ve reintroduced gluten (if you choose to), but in the meantime, listening to how your body responds is key. The overlap with perimenopause and gut issues is no joke—hormones really do throw everything into chaos! It’s awesome that you’re working with a kinesiologist and focusing on whole foods; that’s helped so many of us here too. And yes, eating out is a minefield. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three gluten-containing grains) but that is an entirely different immune system response.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread and other staples, which can be pricey. Another example is Italy.  According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, in Italy, coeliacs are given up to 140 Euros a month to buy specifically gluten free food.  (Source: https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/global-associations-and-policies/policies-around-the-world/#:~:text=Diagnosed celiacs receive vouchers to,to deal with celiac disease.) But with regards to your white blood cells, my levels were similarly low from memory a couple of years ago during a period of quite high stress.  It was picked up in a pre-op blood test.  But nobody blinked an eyelid at the results.  A few months later at my coeliac review with my gastroenterologist the levels had normalised.  As you are concerned, do raise it with your doctor, but it could well just be a blip as it was in my case.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Hello,  I apologies in advance if this topic has been covered previously, but I am new to the site.  Can someone tell me if they know of a certified gluten free Areds 2 vitamin ?  ,, I was taking RITE-AID brand but it seems to be very difficult to acquire as of late.  I have tried Baush & Lomb , and had a reaction so I am staying away from anything that doesn't state "GLUTEN FREE" on the label.  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.    Michael P
