make gluten-free veggie burgers. requires some work, but you can make a big batch one day, and keep your own in the freezer for just the occasion.

I have tried. Countless times to make veggie burgers and they just crumble and fall apart. Even tried it with Gluten free TVP etc. I found one more recipe today using kidney beans but I am afraid to try it. My hubby got so mad when my last veggie burger attempt crumble all over the grill and made a terrible mess.

I can't do dairy either so I lack the binding agent I think.

Have you guys tried Sunshine Organic burgers. They are gluten, dairy and soy-free...and good :)

No, I have never heard of them. Really? Are they available in any store or just on line? I might have to go google them right now! Thanks!

I just checked on line. They are more than 15 grams of fat for 1 burger. I am a little sensitive to fats and I been trying to lose the weight I have gained since going gluten free. Not exactly a good choice. Thanks though, perhaps some day I will get them.

It's healthy, natural fat though (it comes from ground raw sunflower seeds).... Anyway, if you ever decide to try them, I find them at Whole Foods and other health food stores.

I make mine with garbanzo beans, primarily. If I can find the recipe, I'll post it. kinda a cross between veggie burgers and falafels. they definitely don't fall apart.

If you are sensitive to fat, then you should avoid them. But if you are trying to lose weight, you should know that it's a myth that cutting out fat from your diet will make you lose weight. The concept caught on because it was easy to understand and easy for companies to make a buck off, but science didn't follow through with supporting studies.

Fat is filling. People who eat less fat don't weigh less than those who eat more.

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but I'm coming in late and may have missed it,,,,,,,I think dating with celiac disease would be an important topic for this age group. Ideas for gluten-free dates, how to explain celiac disease to your new person, how to meet others with celiac disease....etc.

Thanks! I'd appreciate it. I am always willing to try new recipes and I love falafels. :D

I am sensitive to fat. It never really settles well with me.

I'm almost 22, so honestly I'd like to see someone talk about guys/boyfriends, and how it make it easier to finding one who will always accept that you've got Celiac, and that its not as scary as it may sound (for the guy)..or, even a little more extreme, how you and the guy could share a first kiss without HIM making the move (sorry these are dumb suggestions probably :P )

Crazy as it may seem--i bring my own dinner to weddings...yeah i feel singled out a bit but better than getting sick. I find out what they're serving and tailor my meal as close as possible--white dollar store plates come in handy as i just leave it on the table with the rest of the plates. Kitchen staff have been great about keeping food warm or nuking it and i make sure container is bomb proof so no one can mess with it B)

debmidge - to address your question.

i went to the canadian celiac conference this weekend and was speaking with the coordinator for next year. togehter, we have devised an idea of having a program for those in that age group. i understand the whole 21+ ordeal (well, 18/19+ here...), but you cannot segregate a group for all. anything, highschool and college is combined that way. and older people can speak to the younger regarding university experiences.

anyway, i am coordinating this aspect of the program, and thought i would get some feedback. i think it would be awesome, however, if we could have our own conference all together... but i dont think we would get enough interest.

This sounds like a great idea, however I have a suggestion. I think people in the 15 - 25 age group, while no matter what your age we will all always share certain issues, I think that is a very broad age group and I think breaking that into 2 segments would be more beneficial. For instance I think those in a 15 - 21 age group would benefit from focusing on how to interact in social situations (ie: hanging out with friends, high school & college life/parties, etc.). I think those in the 21/22 - older would benefit from suggestions on how to cope in the workplace (ie: company functions, work lunches/dinners, etc).

I guess my point is, a 15 year old would be much more concerned with fitting in and not being an outcast, whereas a 25 year old is most likely more concerned with etiquette and is this going to reflect poorly on my job.

Like I said, I think it's a great idea; but I think it could be tailored to be more beneficial.

i agree, however, the age group wasn't my selection.

I feel a little silly posting here since I'm 50! But about the veggie burgers falling apart, it occurs to me that the gluten is probably what binds the other kind together, & if it's anything like baked goods, it might help to add a little xanthan gum. And maybe some egg or egg powder. Both are good at keeping bread & cake from crumbling to bits. (I've been baking like a maniac since my diagnosis, just to prove I can still do it! It took a few false starts but I'm getting the hang of it.)

Good luck,

Leah

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
