Hi everyone, I am a new celiac with many questions. I am finding there is no easy cut and dry "diet" to follow. I feel like a pioneer cutting a path through the flour world. Any tips and tricks you could pass my way would be so helpful. I eat pretty plainly would like a bread and tortilla recipe to make at home that works , scarred to spend megga bucks for flours and have it turn out gross. Part of the experiment I guess. Glad to be here and I look forward to talking with you all. Debbie in Ont Canada.

Well I usually convert old recipes to gluten free by using the following mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour. This mix has not failed me yet. When recipes call for you to coat meat with flour I use cornstarch.

Here's a link to a great bread recipe:

Favorite products of mine:

Tinkyada pasta

Bob's Red Mill baking mix

Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup (thicken it and use it for casseroles)

If there is something specific you need (brand, how to make something, what to eat, etc)----just ask! And, the search tool is a great function.

Make sure that you know if something is safe BEFORE you eat it---don't risk it. And, make sure you know how something was prepared, to minimize risks of cross contamination (i.e., when eating out).

Welcome to the board :) :) :)

      Anyone have a gluten-free brand of Zoloft/Sertraline?

      By AMY KACHER · Posted

      Thanks for this. What I am finding is that even if the ingredient list looks safe, the brands I have called tell me that they can't tell me whether or not it's made on the same equipment and state that they do not test for gluten in the final product - ever. Do you have any ideas on how to address this part of the puzzle?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Gluten Allergy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MMeade! I found taking Thiamine Vitamin B1 in the form Benfotiamine helpful.  I have Celiac, hypothyroidism, and diverticulitis.  Inflammation caused by Celiac or allergic reactions cause "leaky gut syndrome" which allows food particles to pass from the intestines into the blood stream where they cause further inflammation in the body and organs.  This inflammation can also prevent absorption of essential vitamins and minerals like thiamine and magnesium. Benfotiamine and its anti-inflammatory properties helps heal the intestines.  Benfotiamine also influences the microbiome in favor of beneficial bacteria, so it can help protect the intestines from bad bacteria that can cause a diverticulitis flair up.  I'm concerned about keeping my diverticulosis in check so I don't have to have my colon removed.   Benfotiamine helps the thyroid work better and relieves the fatigue that accompanies Hashimoto's.   Benfotiamine and magnesium work together to relieve constipation.  I take magnesium glycinate which is more gentle on the digestive system than magnesium oxides.  Magnesium oxides can be harsh on the digestive system because they pull water into the colon and the magnesium is not absorbed.   I follow a Paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, which limits carbohydrates.  I have type two diabetes, which is another autoimmune disease that is improved with thiamine (Benfotiamine).   I avoid processed gluten free facsimile foods because they are pretty much empty calories with little to no nutritional value.  It's a matter of retraining your brain to recognize a healthy diet.  Our bodies run better on healthy Omega three fats like olive oil or avocado oil.  I do have rice or potatoes occasionally, but feel much better without them.   The biopsies that were done, were they done on the removed colon?  Celiac cannot be diagnosed by examining the colon!   Biopsies from the small intestine needs to be examined microscopically for damage done by Celiac antibodies after a gluten challenge.  But not everyone can or should do a gluten challenge.  Genetic testing is warranted in that case.   Have you had a genetic test to see if you have any genes for Celiac?  Most people have HLA DQ 2 or DQ 8, but there are other Celiac genes out there.   You're not alone.  You have the whole tribe behind you now!

      I've found out that my prescription for Zoloft is no longer certified gluten-free. The factory that was making the particular brand name Zoloft I was taking is no longer making it. I'd rather not go through the ordeal of tapering off this medication and trying a replacement drug. Does anyone currently have a brand they have found that is gluten-free? The pharmacist at CVS told me he doesn't know and that I need to do this research on my own...and that the generic is made at many different labs depending on need, so no way to trace.
