Also, there are a lot of threads under Gluten free baking/recipes.

Hope these help get you started!

I like www.glutenfreegirl.com (there's a recipe index somewhere on the site).

Recipezaar is good too - just search for "gluten-free"

Click on gluten-free cooking, then on gluten-free cooking archives. She uses a home-made flour mix that is

6 parts brown rice flour (extra-finely ground if you can find it)

2 parts potato starch

1 part tapioca starch

Note: tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Potato starch and potato flour are NOT the same thing, though!

If you can't find extra-finely ground brown rice flour, use 3 parts Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour and 3 parts white rice flour instead of the 6 parts finely ground rice flour.

She also has a wonderful baking book called Gluten-Free Baking Classics that has out-of-this-world recipes that are so good, you'll NEVER miss gluten again!

I made a recipe binder from the recipes in the recipe section of this site.

I also like:Wheat free,gluten free cookbook for kids and busy adults. Good basic reciepes.

Also you can go pick up any cookbook...you just need to covert any flours or gluten containg ingredients. It's not very hard..I was daunted at first.

I have a mix of gluten-free and reg cookbooks...taste of home and better homes and garden are my two fav reg books.

The three I use the most:

Roben Ryberg's The Gluten-Free Kitchen (I actually wore a copy out!). It's basic, but the recipes don't require a bunch of unusual ingredients, and that can be helpful at first!

Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids by Sheri Sanderson. A lot of family favorites that are already pretty much gluten-free naturally, just tweaked a little. But when you are new, again, your head is ready to fall off so it's nice to have direction!

Gluten-free, Sugar-free cooking by Susan O'Brien. Even if you don't care about the sugar, this is a GREAT cookbook. Lots of yummy, unusual-but-not-weird recipes of the sort that you would serve company and parties. But easy to make!

How much do you like to cook? If you really enjoy food and making it, I can't say enough good things about gluten free girl - Shauna Ahern. Her website is Open Original Shared Link and her writing is just as amazing as her cooking.

Otherwise, I generally have pretty good luck just googling for whatever it is I'm after plus the words 'gluten free' - there's a ton of stuff to be found on the internet, but with some gluten free cooking - ESPECIALLY baking - you kind of have to mess with things a bit & tweak them to your own liking. Things like bread & pie crusts you'll want to try a few different recipes & flour combos to find the ones you like best, but Shauna also has all her other recipes from the gluten free girl website indexed - you can find them here: Open Original Shared Link

There's plenty of company-worthy recipes in there that no one would ever suspect were gluten free!

I'll share my the pancake recipe I've been playing with for awhile - it's not quite perfect, but pretty darn good - 1/2 c. rice flour, 1/4 c. sweet sorghum flour, and 1/4 c. coconut flour - discovered the coconut flour not too long ago & have been playing around with it. It soaks up a lot of moisture, but the taste is great - really nice for muffins & what not, particularly banana bread! - um, 2 tsp baking soda, pinch of salt, 1 tbsp of sugar - mix em all together in a bowl. then in a separate bowl beat one egg with a cup or so of milk - may have to add more later to compensate for the coconut flour - and a tbsp of cooled melted butter. then add wet to dry, mix until all just incorporated - lumps are ok - & it looks like pancake batter. if too thick, add more milk (I use vanilla soy milk, gives a nice flavor). Then do the regular pancake cooking thing in a nice hot buttered pan. Very yummy!

I love my Eating Gluten Free cookbook, they do have some great recipes. And their cookie recipes are awesome, especially the gingersnaps. I've been making a ton of cookies this week, and the gingersnaps are always the first to go.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
