My First Donut In More Than Five Years!

I went to a new grocery store in my area because I heard they carried baked goods by Celiac Specialties. I bought their donuts doubting they'd actually be any good. It was so weird biting into one and tasting that long gone, but not forgotten donut taste. They are really good, but almost too rich for me now after going without them for so long. I used to really miss pizza too when I went gluten-free, but now if I ate a piece I think all I'd taste is the gooey (gluey) dough and the grease. It's great that the food industry is getting so good at making us treats, on the other hand I'm afraid my waistline may start expanding in leaps and bounds if I discover too many yummy gluten-free carbs!

The brand name would be awesome. I love donuts and have tried making my own and even tried kinniniki but they just dont do the trick.

On Halloween last year we strung Kinninick cinnamon donuts (gluten-free of course) from our celing fan and had a "biting for donuts" (versus boobing for apples) challenge. It was a) FUNNY! B) YUMMY!

The Kinninick donuts are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had some Kinnickkinick donuts recently. The first in a long time. I have never had a donut feel the way it felt in my body as long as I can remember. I still can't get over it. I don't know if it's just the gluten or something else as well. For some reason the difference is even more noticable than with things like bread. I know I've had problems with gluten for 8 years but who knows maybe it's been longer. It makes me wonder. They were a little too sweet but there was some other ingredient in the frosting that was creamy and good! I'm not complaining!

      @cristiana, I'm thinking the intensity of our response to the same amount of gluten can vary from time to time. Our bodies are a dynamic entity.

      I'm going to try Jersey Mike's soon--we have one nearby. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi @trents Two things can happen:  1/ For a very small gluten hit, I will get a slightly sore stomach for a few days, maybe a day or two following the glutening, and (TMI warning) maybe slightly loose BMs with mucus  for a couple of days.  2/ For a substantial glutening, and thankfully it's only happened once in recent years,  I get bad chills, followed by vomiting, and my heartbeat is all over the place and I can hardly stand.  It's pretty extreme.  That happens within about 2 hours of eating the gluten.  I might feel slightly dizzy for a couple of days after the glutening episode. Interestingly I've just been out to a cafe which hitherto has made a big thing about how their french fries are cooked in a separate fryer.  I shared some with a friend and they were served with chilli sauce, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and fried onions.  Definitely not health food!  Anyway,  I'd eaten half when I realised I'd not checked the menu to ensure that this dish is still gluten-free - and it turns out it isn't!!!  They've changed the ingredients and the fried onions are now cooked with wheat.   I came home expecting to feel dreadful as I had no idea how much gluten I have consumed but so far if anything I feel just little queasy.  I think I'd have thrown up by now had there been a lot of gluten in the onions.

      It might be wise to start him on small amounts and work up to 10g. Monitor how he reacts. Some people simply cannot complete the gluten challenge because it makes them too ill. By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day. I'm not sure what the intensity of reaction to gluten tells you about what's actually going on with regard to celiac disease. I mean there are some celiacs like me who don't seem to react to minor exposure amounts but who get violently ill with larger exposures. Then there are celiacs who get some kind of reaction to even the tiniest amount of exposure but don't necessarily get violently ill. And how the reaction manifests itself is very different for different people. Some, like me, experience emesis and diarrhea. Others just get brain fog. Others get joint pain. It's all over the map.

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\
