Actually a couple will do, make a great gift for my dad for his birthday and Christmas. He's a great chef, so skill level doesn't matter. He's been to cooking school and even owned a resturant, but stopped when he moved.

I looked at amazon .com and there are so many.

In my opinion the best cookbook is Annalaise Robert's Gluten Free Baking Classics. Amazon carries it for 11.53 and it is a WONDERFUL cookbook. Everything I have made turns out perfect and gets rave reviews.

My favorite is Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster. It has various food allergy, gluten free choices for each recipe. So if you can't have one of her ingredients she suggests another. Everything we have made from it is just delicious! Enjoy!

The one I reach for most is "The Gluten Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg. Good, everyday, straightforward recipes :)

My favorite cookbooks are the ones by Bette Hagman, the gluten free gourmet. However, I must add that if your father is already a trained chef, he should have no problem converting his old recipes to gluten free status. I use the same flour blend for everything I make and I often use glutenous recipes and just sub my flour blend for all-purpose flour. I don't think I've had a major flop in almost a year, ever since I started using normal recipes again. Perhaps, if he's newly diagnosed, the yellow and black dummie's guide would be best, It's called something like Living Gluten Free for Dummies. That book is excellent for someone new to the diet.

Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast & Healthy is my absolute favorite.

Angie, what's your all purpose blend?

As to the original question: I have Annalise Roberts Baking Classics, Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen, Sheri Sanderson's Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids and Carol Fenster's Wheat Free Recipes and Menus. I have certain recipes from each that I rely on. I also have Bette Hagman's GFG Bakes Bread, but don't use it that often unless I need bread for stuffing or something (Ty won't eat bread).

Rebecca Reilly's "Gluten Free Baking" - she's a french-trained pastry chef. . .and mom to a celiac. Her recipes are flawless and so good that my family regularly tries to stop me from eating them. . .

I use Bette Hagman's rice flour blend: 3 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch... I add approximately 1 teaspoon xantham gum per 1 to 1-1/2 cups of flour blend. It depends on what I'm making. I've found that my pre-gluten-free recipes all turn out about the same when using this blend. Sometimes they even turn out better.

Thanks so much. I'm gonna see what barnes and nobles has and flip through before I order, not sure whether I'll use Amazon or not.

The dummies one he has, I got him as a joke, becuase we tease him that anything new he needs the dummy books.

Robyn Ryberg's is excellent because it uses simple, easy to find ingredients and everything I've tried has tasted great. And she's a wonderful person. The book's inexpensive and well worth it.

Just a small local company - not a "real" publishing house or anything. But every time I look at them I'm shocked that I DID THAT! I mean, I make all the recipes all the time, but it's really impressive to me to see them in print!

Oh I totally understand your excitement. I'm getting my masters in Publication Management, so I was just interested from that sense. Did you print a set amount of copies? Print-on-demand? Are you selling copies?

Sorry if I'm being nosey :P

Nope . . . not nosey at all! We printed 1000 copies, and will order more when we sell enough. We are selling copies - on the internet and through local health food stores.

We've contemplated seeing about going through a "real" publisher, which would probably increase the advertising scope (amazon, etc.), but would probably decrease the amount we would make per book . . . so we're not sure we'll do it . . . but I guess things can always change, huh?

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
