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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
