What Are Your Favorite Naturally Gluten Free Foods?


Mtndog

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)

Mango04 Enthusiast

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.

red potatoes, brown rice and peas, cheese, and DOVE bars....wait, those aren't natural are they....lol

almostnrn Explorer

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!!!

Sweetfudge Community Regular

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!

Sweetfudge Community Regular

i think this post is a good one, and just thought i'd refresh it for all who are interested :)

I thought of some more:

Shepherd's pie with beef, corn and mashed potatoes. I mix cheddar cheese into the potatoes and then sprinle some on the top.

i'm going to have to go with potatoes also... great everyway. i love tates and i grew up on them anyway because no one knew how to feed a vegetarian kid! yum!

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! :)

Michi8 Contributor

I'm afraid my list would just be too long! My favourite naturally gluten free meals are:

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

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
