Here are my favorites:

*Best Bread = Microwave bread that was posted on here. https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=56641&st=0&p=521029&fromsearch=1&#entry521029 I also buy Pamela's bread mix to make bread crumbs.

*Best Bagels = None. I have not tried any.

*Best Pasta = Bionature is my first choice and Tinkyinada second.

*Best Pizza = Homemade with a coconut flour crust. Here is the link to the recipe: Open Original Shared Link

*Best Rolls = Pao De Queijo made from this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

I like to use 1/2 parm and 1/2 extra sharp white cheddar cheese.

*Best Crackers = Nut Thins (Almond) cheddar cheese and ranch flavors and Mary's Gone Crackers

*Best Cereal = I don't eat alot of cereal any more, but I like Arrowhead Mills maple buckwheat flakes, cocoa pebbles, Perky's nutty flax and all chex.

*Best Waffles = Homemade. I used a flour mix of 1 1/2 cups sorghum flour, 1 1/2 cups cornstarch, and 1 cup tapioca flour for the flour, added 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp. xanthan gum. You could probably use less xanthan gum.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      This explains a lot. I had a severe leg injury when I was younger. I've had several surgeries. I was super careful, but always got cellulitis. Interesting article. Even when I was gluten free and had surgery, I still got cellulitis.

      Gut Healing After a Celiac Diagnosis: What Science Says About Recovery Time (+Video)

      Good article. Everyone expects healing within a few weeks. I remember not feeling good until 4 months into the gluten free diet. In fact, the first month was horrible. I felt way worse. This is due to a large part of addiction to wheat. It feels like withdrawal symptoms. Your body wants the gluten no matter what. At 4 months, I remember waking up one...

I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
