Celiac Book Recommendations?

Mostly I want cookbook recommendations, but if you know of any that do a good job of combining information (because my husband needs to be educated) with recipes, I would love that too.

My son and I have celiac, so cookbooks with recipes that kids will like are particularly welcomed.

Also, I personally don't eat meat (but the rest of my family does) so if anyone knows of any good vegetarian gluten-free cookbooks that'd be great, too.

Thanks tons!

Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids: 150 Family-Tested Recipes (Paperback)

by Sheri L. Sanderson

Incredible Edible Gluten Free for Kids is the best recipe book for kid-friendly recipes (and family friendly) - we make chicken balls (deep fried chicken nuggets), corn dogs, muffins, buttermilk pancakes on a regular basis out of this book. It doesn't use flour mixes as a basis for its recipes which I find to be easier and liberating in a strange way. The recipes turn out and they taste good.

I'd also recommend the Living Gluten Free for Dummies book for your loved ones and other interested parties. I leave it out conspicuously and find people (visitors, family members) pick it up and find it really accessible. I have yet to try the recipes but there are several in it as well.

Good luck and happy shopping!

I borrowed Living Gluten Free for Dummies from a friend and the parts I read I enjoyed.

I found "Open Original Shared Link" by Danna Korn to be the most helpful and informative book to have when I was initially diagnosed. I have since lent it out to family and co-workers who have expressed an interest or had questions. There a few recipes, but mostly educational material. Korn is a well respected author in the gluten-free realm.

I also recommend Living Gluten Free for Dummies. I skimmed the book and i liked what i saw. I have two of the gluten free gourmet books. I have the Gluten Free Gourmet makes Dessert and The gluten free gourmet bakes bread.. I really like the graham crackers recipe in the bread one.

The author of those books is Bette Hagman

Wheat Free, Worry Free and Living Gluten Free for Dummies are written by the same person - Danna Korn. The dummies book is brand new and more up-to-date - but contains most of the same info and both have recipes. I bought both and my dh and I switched off reading the books. We wish we had only bought the dummies book.

There are TONS of cookbooks. Some for just baking, some for dinners, some for kids-friendly meals. I suggest going to a local bookstore and perusing the cookbooks. I went to Barnes and Noble and they had 3 rows of gluten-free cookbooks. It was in the area for special needs cooking (diabetes, heart-healthy, etc.). I bought three - one for baking goodies, one for regular meals, and one that was a combo of both. I started the diet a month ago and have used all 3 cookbooks. They've been lifesavers! I made my dh a gluten-free birthday cake and the whole family loved it (I'm the only celiac).

I definitely have to second the recommendation for Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids. It's by far the best cookbook I've bought. It has simple, easy to make recipes that use ingredients that are relatively easy to find. I also like the Gluten Free Gourmet books by Bette Hagman.

Also, amazon .com has gluten free food and I think orders over $25 qualify for free shipping. I buy all my Tinkyada pasta there because its pretty well priced and we go through the stuff like crazy. :) I also buy my cereal there because its the cheapest place I've found.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
