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....

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
