Do You Find You Miss Food You Barely Even Ate?

I was just reading through some of the responses to "Do you ever miss the stupid things." and one of the last ones really kinda made me chuckle because it is also one of the things that for some reason I suddenly miss, yet I never really ate. Corn Dogs.

I think I've probably had a corn dog once in my entire life, but I can't tell you how much I've thought about them in the last couple of weeks.

Does anyone have this?

That is actually what I meant when I started the topic "Do You Ever Miss the Stupid Things?"

I didn't mean for it to be a depressing topic about our favorite foods that we can no longer eat! In my original post I said that I was "mourning" the fact that I couldn't eat those Little Debbie X-mas tree snack cakes - the ones with waxy chocolate that isn't even that good! And jelly donuts - which I ate MAYBE once a year. Truthfully, there are MANY gluten-free foods that are much better than these 2 things - but the mind is a powerful thing, and because I KNOW I can't have them, that makes me want them even more!

Well that's my theory on it. But yes, Jillian, I definitely relate :rolleyes:

Hot dogs for me. The smell drives me crazy. Funny, coz when I was "normal", I hated them!

Nad,

Hebrew National Hot Dogs are gluten-free.

I think Ball Park and Oscar Meyer are also gluten-free....

Right now, all i want is a Pop Tart. I maybe ate them once or twice a year before now, but that is all I want. And i dont just want one flavor, its like I want to have one of every flavor they have ever made them in.

So strange

Nope I don't miss things that I hardly every ate (or didn't eat), I'm assuming because if I didn't eat them often I didn't really like them. I miss the things I use to eat all the time, pizza is number one and I've tried every gluten-free pizza crust I can get my hands on and they just aren't right. Believe it or not, I'd rather do without, but I sure do miss it.

The thing I miss at this time of year is Thumbprint cookies and shortbread cookies. They were my favorites, but I will live without them.

I have been craving corn dogs lately too.. and I rarely ate them before going gluten-free! Also Chinese spring rolls.. although I did eat those a lot.

You can make spring rolls out of rice paper, if you want to give it a try. Raw ones out of rice paper can be tasty as well, but you can also bake or fry them. I've found rice paper at asian markets, though do check the ingredients as there's a version that has wheat flour.

I second the poptarts - mmmmm, strawberry with icing. I ate them maybe 1x every few years, but now I miss them :( The homemade gluten-free pies I make every so often do help though...... but can never be exactly the same.

Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I only ever had it about 3 times a year, but when I see the commercials on TV and they show those succulent looking chicken sandwiches, I about come undone. Interestingly, the day of my dx, my GI pretty much said to me "have whatever you want for dinner tonight, then tomorrow it's gluten-free". Had to think awhile what I wanted, but ended up with some good old K-fry! Just the smell of it makes me crazy...........

The Kinnikinnick pizza crusts are just like the real thing, and I'm not a fan of their breads, so I was wary. The pizza crusts are worth the high price.

Well, I missed mostly foods I wanted to eat (pizza) or _did_ eat all the time (NY bagels)....

I guess in general, I took for granted that if you go somewhere and they have cookies out or the like, I could just eat what I wanted-- and now everthing has to be planned with little variety.

someone mentioned poptarts...i loved toasted chocolate poptarts with butter. i miss pizza and calzones (extra sauce please), and bagels more than most any foods i can think of. have found some substitute foods that get me by, but it's just not the same!

For some reason I really miss cookies alot. I wasnt a big cookie eater when I COULD have them but now I want them badly. I think about fig newtons, oreos, nutter butters, pepperidge farm cookies (the chocolate mint ones) and on and on....

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
