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:

Out of those 130 foods, there only five we can't have (oats, rye, spelt, whole wheat and of course, watch the soy sauce :))

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! :)

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

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
