Non-gluten and my budget

I live in South Africa and am a single woman and pensioner. I battle with the prices of gluten free breakfast porridges and bread. I eat plant based (also milk intolerant) ánd have non-diabetic hypoglycemia. The gluten-free foods are also limited in our small town. If no advice, could someone at least encourage me? What do I eat??

Do you do much cooking? In your case I think it would be important to cook using homemade whole foods, rather than try to replace bread and other items with gluten-free versions. Perhaps you could also travel to a larger city from time to time to stock up on certain things that might be hard to find there, for example whole quinoa grain can be an excellent replacement for a hot cereal and can be used to make many other dishes.

Can you get food delivered from Amazon or other online service? You would likely know better than us regarding what might be available near you, but mail ordering ingredients and baking yourself might be an option.

      Do I have celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hocaco! First, we cannot comment with any certainty on your test values because you did not include the reference ranges for the test. There are no industry standards for the reference ranges and each lab constructs these tests a little differently. Second, recently updated "gluten challenge" guidelines recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks in order to ensure valid celiac blood antibody test results. I would actually recommend 10g of gluten for 4 weeks to be more confident in rendering valid test results. So, I sense that your test results may not be reliable as it sounds like your gluten challenge may not have been vigorous enough.

      Gluten free flours

      It's possible, as products made with wheat starch that is rendered to below 20ppm is now considered gluten-free in the USA, and has been in Europe for decades. It would be interesting to know more about the product and technology before trying it. They claim: This is a company in Spain.
