5 Days To Gluten Free

In 5 days I go for my biopsy. My blood tests already showed positive for celiac so as soon as I have the biopsy I am going gluten free (not waiting on results). I do NOT plan on ever cheating, so I would like to get in all my fav's before the 5 days are up. If you had 5 days to eat anything, what would you eat? What is just NOT the same once you go gluten free? Looking for fun ideas :) I'm gonna be so sick to my stomach, but I don't care, lol - I'll make up for it by never cheating on the gluten free, hehe. So fire away! What's teh one thing you miss the most? You can live vicariously through me!

Two things: a krispy kreme donut (preferably a hot one if they have a bakery nearby)

a pan pizza from pizza hut with extra cheese.

i can't do dairy or gluten, so these are the things that i just can't replicate. eat them and relish every second for me!

I did this before going gluten-free. I ate chinese, pizza, doughnuts, big juicy cheeseburgers, fried chicken, pastas, etc. I had a hard time giving it up, but I don't cheat either. Whenever I consider it, I think of how the food will only last a few minutes on my tastebuds, but it will take me DAYS to get over it! So I dont' cheat, but I am tempted. :P

croissant or strawberry shortcake (the light, fluffy kind). or anything from phyllo, really. :)

oh, and oatmeal. nothing tastes the same as steel cut oatmeal! :) (I think I react to it.)

Pizza. Extra- no FOUR Cheese SICILIAN Pizza.. the kind you chew four hours andthe grease run down your arms...

Pasta... Fetichini Alfredo...

CinniBon

Chinese food, general tso's, from the seedyest non english speaking place you can find.

Cheesecake!

Just enjoy going to a restraunt and ordering off the menu following your taste buds without worrying what you are eating. enjoy not worring about your waiter being smart enough to understand your problems or being nice enough to care.

Papa John's pizza - A big fat jelly donut w/a cuppicinno - or a chocolate gob - or a loaf of just baked french bread, half w/bruschetta, and half w/butter - or maybe one piece of kfc original receipe - good blue cheese salad dressing on lettuce hearts w/walnuts

However - as sick as I was and still am, I would never knowingly eat wheat ever, ever again

Wow... I went gluten-free 3 weeks ago, and gave myself 10 hours.... I GLUTTONED and by 11:30 (midnight my 'glutonline') I just could not put down one more organic 'Oreo'. I was so nasty feeling. I envy you and your 5 days, it might have made this so much easier for me. I did it for my breastfeeding son, not myself (knowing *I* would never be able to go back either, but in realized denial :unsure: ), and so once I decided I did it quick.

Sigh, what I would give for another slice of my husband's homemade slowrise bread. :(

Oh, and breadsticks and a Guinness and the honey glazed pastry type rolls that (the now defunct) Hops used to give out.

Garlic toast! I have been able to recreate almost everything with gluten free flour, except for that light, crispy-edged, buttery garlic toast they give you in restaurants. Wah.

Bacon egg & cheese biscuit from McD's. Pizza hut stuffed crust pizza. The gnocchi sorrento and garlic bread from the little Itallian hole-in-the-wall near me that I used to visit weekly (he probably thinks I died or moved!). Chocolate lava cake. French fries right out of the fryer. ONION RINGS. Crab Rangoons.

And while my mouth is drooling at the thought of all this, my stomach is like "whoa! not again" ... so no, I don't cheat - not worth it.

I made that recently for my Celiac group using GFP French bread made in my french bread pan. It was crispy-crunchy and vanished like the wind.

The combo of the GFP French bread and the french bread pan makes a MAJOR difference in texture. So much so that a co-worker asked me to make her a couple of loaves for a dinner party she was having (with a Celiac guest). She wanted to make bruschetta and everyone there raved about it.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Popeye's Fried Chicken

Popeye's Fried Shrimp

Jack in the Box tacos

I've been able to recreate the taste of most things but these are the junk food items I still can't get right.

and one non-junk food item -- Premium Saltine crackers

2nd on the croissant -- actually, pretty much anything from a bakery involving really good baguettes and/or puff pastry (heck -- I'd buy a package of puff pastry in the freezer section and wrap it around everything I could see...). Asian dumplings -- potstickers. Pizza from the best local pizzeria I knew.

Really good dark beer.

I second lots of the things already mentioned: cinnamon rolls, fresh warm artisan-type bread, pizza...the list could go on and on!

I would also suggest any homemade recipes you love. For me, that would be grandma's butter roll recipe, mom's cinnamon sour cream coffee cake, etc. While you'll be able to find satisfactory replacements for lots of commerically-made foods, you may not be able to perfectly replicate these things that you have special attachments to. I think these are the things I truly miss, because I have such specific and complex memories of them that they're just not the same with modifications, whereas I can get used to, say, corn tortillas instead of flour.

Just a thought...

Enjoy your last couple of days!

Another vote for that croissant. In fact I would have a croissant with turkey, lettuce and tomato on it. And a chocolate croissant too. There was this place in the Stamford (CT) mall that I used to get those 2 things all the time when I was a little kid. It was my favorite. They had the best croissants.

Two of the last things I ate before going gluten free where a oreo cupcake from Crumb's bakery and a gyro. I'm not entirely sure where the gyro came in because it wasn't even something I ate often before, but I just wanted it; and it was great!

Drink a Kilian's Red for me! I wish I had thought to slurge before I went on the diet but I was in so much pain the day before I started that it wasn't hard to do without reservation and just the thought of feeling well agian kick started it for me! I could think of so many other things I want but my stomache hurts just thinking about them.

The only thing my daughter still gets weepy about: Panera Bread's cinnamon crunch bagel.

If anybody has a good substitute/alternative for this, I'd love to hear it!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
