Ok I have been recently told I need to go back to gluten free/wheat free foods. As a kid I was on this diet but my mom removed me from it because she miss understood the rules. She thought I would out grow it.

She doesn't remember any of the recipes. I need help w/what words to look for on boxes to avoid. I found soy flour and its gluten free. Can I make bread from this w/out using other flours? If so sny recipes for it?

I'm finding it hard to find foods that I can eat.

Any help to make it easy to understand the Dos and don't of Celiac.

I bought store gluten free bread and it was yucky to me...so i bought a bread machine and make my own which is delicious!!! i make it with Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix....can't rave enough about that...that makes delicious french toast or sandwiches....

fresh fruits and veggies are always gluten free- Most meats are naturally gluten free (if they are free of preservatives, if not double check lables) season with fresh herbs.

Protein bars- like organic food bar, or zone perfect, and lara bars are good to keep in your purse or in the pantry for a snack attack.

I make pamelas waffles in bulk and freeze for breakfast (with the baking mix) and also do the recipe for muffins the same way- then add bacon and OJ and there is breakfast....

if you have a whole foods market near you- they should have decent selection of gluten free things to get you jump started if not, check your current supermarket, or find some of your nutritional stores and call to see what they stock, and there is always the internet you can order things from like Amazon, and this site has a grocery section too... Our Kroger and Publix has a small selection of gluten free foods....

check out this list from Ingles supermarket of gluten free foods- most of these are available at any grocery store- just double check your labels....

I hope I doing this right. I havent figured out how to reply.

Thanks for your help. I will have to travel in to a bigger town to find more choices, heck any choices really. I Asked a local baker today if they knew of where I could find rice flour or wheat free /gluten free around here and they looked at me like I was crazy. I have soy flour and I'm going to try to make bread from it. Right now I have got to learn to look close at lables since I am use to just grabbing something to eat.

Hi

That's a bummer that you got away from the diet & now have to relearn how to eat again...

Clan thompson is a good site to get tons of info & of course this site....

A few mainstream things I can think of quickly are :swanson broth,progresso creamy mushroom ,progresso chicken & rice, progresso I think its called corn chowder are gluten-free...Dinty moore beef stew is gluten-free but not the others.Pillsbury frostings are gluten-free.Kraft will list any ingredients that may cause allergies.

Ragu is okay, I use the cheese sauce in the jar to make mac& cheese using BiAglut spirals (noodles). Taste just like Boston Market's......

I alway tell newcomers to start out eating naked foods, then as you learn what's okay add on a couple new things each week ie: spices & toppings...

The recipe section has many things that are very good. We have some very excellent gluten-free cooks on board.I love the soft breadsticks from CarrieFaith & I just posted a recipe for danish that is very easy & tasty.

Bell & evans has gluten-free chicken nuggets in most grocery stores, they have a black label so you can tell them from the reg. ones.I love Anna's bread mix & her pumpkin bread is wonderful....Pamela's has a very good pancake mix.Foods by George has some good products.

You can eat any veggies , fruit or meats just check out if they are coated, marinated or breaded in a non gluten-free product.

I could go on forever but if you want more Please just pm me & I can give you names of some bettergf products.I do alot of mailorder because there is nothing here much gluten-free....plus I travel ours to buy gluten-free supplies..

blessings

It will all fall into place just be patient & don't get overwelmed .....

you can do some shopping online too. www.amazon .com and www.shopbydiet.com are good places to find gluten free food. just type gluten free into the search. you could also buy your own rice and put it through a grain grinder (if you had one).

good luck and glad you found us! lots of good help and recipes here :)

I love "The Gluten Free Gourmet" cookbook. It's got some really good bread and cake recipes.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
