Do You Have Any Weird Food Behaviors Now?

Just curious if any other people eat "weird" things now that they are gluten-free.

For example, I use mustard a lot. (It's gluten-free and soy-free.) I'll dip pretty much anything in mustard -- potatoes, carrots, meat, whatever. I guess it's a way to replace butter and salad dressings for me, but it always makes DH say "gross!"

I think that a gluten free diet opens the doors to trying food combinations that most people would think are strange. I like spaghetti sauce with meat over mashed potatoes and French Fries dipped in guacamole.

Yeah, I get laughed at, or a grossed out look just about every meal I eat. Since going gluten free I believe spaghetti sauce can go on anything! Veggies, cheese, and spaghetti sauce, mashed potatoes and spaghetti sauce, rice and spaghetti sauce, etc.

I add chese to everything.

Sandwiches made out of van's waffles.

And I eat veggetables all the time...Like, ALL the time.

Oh, and not to mention bringing my own hamburger bun to burger resturaunts.

They think it is so weird, but its no big deal to me since its my lifestyle!

I agree! I don't often bake bread, though I do it a few times a month, but for "sandwiches" when I don't have bread or don't feel like baking it I usually wrap ham/lunchmeat in two corn tortillas or wrap my hotdogs [gluten free] in corn tortillas too, I eat more lentils/beans in all kinds of ways, cold bean salads, boiled beans and overall weird combinations, my husband always makes weird faces at the things I eat :D but he will try the ones that look/smell good, such as the breads, he loves it when i bake bread.

OH! I forgot about everything you can do with corn tortillas! My fav. with those are to layer them with sauce, pizza, and cheese to make pizza

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
