YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME HUNGRY!!!! LOL. Awesome suggestions all. And stuff I had forgotten about too!! I had pizza hut pizza today (yum) and an onion bagel with cream cheese. And an ice cream in a cone - do they even MAKE gluten-free cones? I'm thinking not, so I'm eating as many cones between now and then as possible, lol.

The night before my Endoscope I ate an entire Large Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushroom and X-cheese deep dish pizza from Star Pizza and two pitchers of Shiner Bock Beer. I felt fine the next morning for my procedure and was fine that afternoon. Got sick as a dog that night. Absolutely worth it!!!!! :D

I would camp out in an good Italian bakery. I used to go to one in LIttle Italy in Boston. Canolis (sp?) I still dream about their food... I would eat all day every meal - baked goods.

Then a true Italian restaurant for ravioi, canaloni, fettuccini cabonera, lasagna,

Then real NY pizza. Not a franchise. The real stuff.

Then bagels and cream cheese by the dozen.

Hubby's pizzelles...OMG do I miss those. It makes me so sad when he makes them now :(

Then more desserts....Chocolate waffles with ice cream... eclaires...cream puffs with real whipped cream...Grandmas Chocolate frosted pound cake...and we can't forget homemade Irish soda bread. I've never even bothered to trie to make Nana's soda bread gluten-free. I'd hate to ruin such a good memory.

This is sad...my fondest memories are all attached to food from different places I've lived or visited.

I've never tried them, but they do make gluten free ice cream cones.

Takeout chinese. Steamed dumplings, general tso's chicken, beef with scallions- and you can just go and order it without having to explain for 5 minutes and provide written explanation in multiple languages.

And homemade challah- I miss kneading dough! Chebe is as close as I get these days....

Possibly also homemade fresh pasta, but gluten-free gnocchi have been filling that niche pretty well.

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!

YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME!

Jalapeno bagels were my weakness (okay, one of them) but I've been able to scratch that itch with jalapeno chebe bread.

My wife found Gluten Free Gnocchi at Central Market here in Houston. I don't remember the maker but it was damn good. :D

By they way you can find wheat free soy sauce. HEB, Whole Foods, Randalls, Central Market and others around here carry Jsan Wheat Free Soy Sauce. It has a slightly stronger taste than the other stuff but works just great. My wife and I ate Sushi yesterday for lunch. I just brought the bottle with me.

Kudos to your wife! I've only been in Central Market one time but I couldn't find hardly any gluten-free stuff. Do you know where she found it?

Even though I am not sure I have Celia Disease, I have been Gluten Free for almost a week now. I really miss pasta, and the fact that I may never be able to have another visit to Dunkin Donuts again. So I would definitely go for those. Also I was always a big friend of pastries as well. I have been truely amazed at all the items that contain wheat or gluten. I really wonder why there is so much of it so un-necessary in some cases. Good luck to and hope you have a fast recovery.

Yes, there is such a thing as GLUTEN Free cones - I have seen two different brand name versions, but very, very pricey - but worth it if you really want it. I have never tried them, so I don't know what they taste like.

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.

I thought I would mention that if you like Kilian's you should try that new Gluten Free Beer by Budwiser, it is called Red Bridge....taste alot like Kilian's.

Can't help you on the Dunkin Donuts but suffer no more for lack of pasta -- get some Tinkyada pasta by mail order or at Whole Foods, Wild Oats or whatever you may have near you. It's gluten free and the taste and texture are the same. It's fooled my non-Celiac friends. Open Original Shared Link

That's the easiest itch to scratch!

I agree! I bought some Tinkyada pasta to give it a try before going gluten-free and yum! It tastes just like regular pasta to me. I did cook it a tad longer, but the bag says you can overcook it as much as you want! It was awesome.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
