I remember when I first started on the diet, I subsisted on Skippy peanut butter and Pamela's cookies. Wow!

So I thought it might help people getting started on the diet to list your favorite foods that are naturally gluten free.

Mine would be POTATOES....fry 'em, 'boil 'em, roast 'em with garlic and rosemary, mash 'em. Yum!

And chicken. Could live on potatoes and chicken with garlic and rosemary.

Pot Roast! Either beef or pork roast with red potatos, onions, baby carrots, garlic and mushrooms and whatever spices you are in the mood for! I usually do mine in a roasting bag with added water and YUMMMMM or you can do it in a crock pot till the meat is falling apart!!!

Nachos! Corn chips, shredded cheese, refried beans (I use Ortega or Old El Paso), and salsa and sour cream!

Popcorn, especially fresh air popped popcorn or the classic popped in oil! (I also like Orville Reddenbachers movie theater butter microwaveable popcorn

Rice. Rice. and More Rice! I love Rice! Brown rice, white rice, sushi rice, arborio rice, even wild rice (not really a rice but a grass)

Big stuffed baked potatoes with steamed broccoli, melted Velveeta, butter and sour cream!

A big ol fat juicy steak (grilled on a clean grill and not marinated in gluten)

blueberries, kiwi, bannanas, strawberries, mangos, carrots, spinach (I know, I'm weird, but I really like spinach lately :)), lentils, rice, garbanzo beans (mostly in the form of hummus), chicken, cashews, almonds, avocado, cucumbers....

I don't think I truly appreciated any of these foods until I stopped eating gluten, but now just looking at my list makes me hungry :)

Oh and here's a great list:

Chicken - you can grill it, bake it, stir fry it, sautee it, broil it, microwave it; you can use it in salads, casseroles, soups, plain, sandwhiches; you can spice it ten ways to heaven. It's just truely versatile, and doesn't have to be expensive.

Beans - also very versatile, and, when in a can, fast.

Apples - good for cooking (pies, in muffins, whole), eating raw, putting in hot breakfast cereal, having with peanut butter (or cheese if you do dairy), and always available

Hummus - 'cause I love it. :P

Great link Mango!

I would have to go with rice (all varieties), potatoes (all varieties) and other root vegetables, beans and lentils, nuts and nut butters (check labels of course), seeds, all fruits and vegetables, avocadoes, chicken, turkey, and beef.

When I first went gluten-free it was back to hard core basics...meat and a carb (yippee for rice and potatos) and fresh veggies. But my all time favorite when I wanted to feel like I was eating the old food is as follows:

In a little olive oil cook up some shrimp, fresh garlic and parsley.....toss into Tinkyada penne pasta and top with some fresh grated parmasean and romano.....YUMMM. It was one of the few quick items I could whip up that didn't taste like cardboard, lol.

LOL!!! I think for the 1st month I was gluten free I consumed more Skippy Peanut butter than I'd had in all 27 years before being diagnosed.

I love:

Blueberries, bananas and strawberries with sour cream (or without, but this is a snack I love)

Apples and Peanut Butter

Rice

Whole Foods Shrimp Bisque Soup

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (Pistachio, Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia)

Seafood Risotto

London Broil

Oh boy, I think I could keep going!!!

My staples, even now, are:

Mexican food - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, taco salad

Potatoes (love them every way!) - baked, fried, twice baked, with sour cream, with cheese, with bacon, with Hormel chili

Spaghetti (tink pasta)

Pizza w/ hormel canadian bacon, a string cheese, fresh basil and spaghetti sauce

Soup-right now I am obsessed with Tuscan Tomato soup - I'll post recipe tomorrow if I remember....

I love to make salads with lots of chicken and tomatoes :)

Rice crisp cereal - Erwhon has a good gluten-free kind, also really like New Morning cocoa crisps - i love to make rice crispy treats with half of each :)

Also, I have a hard time digesting beans, but I LOVE THEM! So I use beano...it's gluten-free :) and I like the liquid drops, I just add them to my first bite, and it really keeps the gas to a minimum.

Great post idea!

on a side note (sorry!): mtndog-- would you mind sharing your recipe for chicken rice soup? would it be ok to leave the chicken out?? i used to make a really good one before going gluten-free (& just left the chick out) but it is made with cream soup and also rice packet that has gluten in the seasoning... thanks! :)

anything with any kind of potatoes :)

shepherd's pie

beef stew

chili (on rice)

indian curry dishes w/papadums

sauteed cauliflower, onions and carrots

buckwheat with onion and bacon

cabbage rolls

chicken & corn hash (served w/poached eggs)

homemade chicken soup w/rice

turkey w/cranberry relish and mashed potatoes

BBQ pork tenderloin w/skewered veggies (zucchini, peppers and onions)

Chicken souvlaki over rice w/roasted potatoes & lemon

fresh salmon w/rice, spaghetti squash and zucchini

Okay, this list could get too long too. :D

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
