I am waiting for results from my bloodwork to see if I am Celiac. I should know the first of next week. My son is gluten and casein intolerant and it looks like I might be right in there with him. Is there a cookbook that you guys use that is a good cookbook for Gluten-free Casein-free folks? Is there a website?

I can't recommend any cookbooks. All the cookbooks I buy I put aside and never use. Gluten free cookbooks seem to cost a heap, and are few and far between.

What I do is read magazines, newspapers, and when I see things that I like, I make a note of them, and any changes that might be needed. You will be surprised how many main meals in the general mags are gluten free, even probably in your old recipe books.

It gets a bit tricky when you are looking for treat foods. But I find quite a lot of recipes you can just substitute the flour for gluten free. There are cake recipes that use oil instead of butter, which is good, and I love them.

I wish you luck in finding that book. All the ones I seem to see are from overseas, and probably not to relevant to NZ.

Actually, there's plenty of Gluten-free Casein-free recipes out there, which Google can help locate.

Here's some places I have bookmarked:

Of course, there are a number of recipe threads here on the board, so searching the appropriate forum should turn up a bunch of them.

What sorts of things are you looking for? Check your library. I modify my own recipes and also the gluten-free ones.

Thank you! I think the hardest thing is learning what things to look for in foods. There are so many different types of flour - how do you know which one to use?

With all the weird things I've had going on with my body since the first of the year, I'm actually looking forward to changing my diet. I had a hysterectomy last September and in April 2006, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Since April I've gone from hypo to hyper - I 've had to drop my medicine twice. If I change my diet maybe it will continue to drop to where I don't have to be on Levoxyl anymore.

As for recipes, I don't know. I love food! Gumbo, pizza, chicken, beef, veggies --- all of it. I will look at all these chats and see if I can't find some good recipes as well as look at those cookbooks at Amazon.

I bought two cookbooks off Amazon. One by Carol Fenster... something like Gluten Free 101 and then another by Betty Hagman. I use the Fenster one so much that it has fallen apart. (Try the breadsticks!!!!) The only problem with making your own gluten-free food is that you have to buy so many flours/mixes to use. I bought some glass canisters and have lables on them telling me what it is. Once you gather all you need, then everything is at your finger tips and it gets pretty easy. If you told me 5 years ago that I'd have xanathan gum and cornstarch in my cabinet, I wouldn't believe you. I love cooking now!

Good luck!

There is no single answer. It all depends on what you're making, and personal preferences of course.

Anyway, I nearly forgot that this very site has a bunch of recipes too:

epicurious.com also has gluten free recipes and you can choose what else to leave out of the search. Click on the advanced recipes or something like that to get to the area that you can search for gluten free ones.

I definitely second the epicurious site and the gfutah site. I also like some of bette hagman's recipes (don't know if i'd recommend buying though) and The Gluten free bible (a controvercial book here in the forums) has some great recipes, but not lots. I would also check out allrecipes and cooks.com. Lots of my naturally gluten-free cooking I do using betty crocker or foodnetwork.com recipes (rice, veggies, potatoes, etc). Another site i like is helpforibs.com. The moderator, heather, has come up with some great recipes, and the forum has some creative cooks. A few have gluten-free diets as well. Good luck!

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
