Best Of List


HAK1031

Recommended Posts

HAK1031 Enthusiast

I was thinking that we should make a best-of list for various categories of gluten-free food. I'll post this thread so we can come up with categories and nominees, and then we'll make it into a poll on a new thread.

Here's what I have so far for categories

-Bread (frozen)

-Bread (mix)

-Cake Mix

-Cookies (prepared or mix)

-Pasta

-Pizza/Pizza Crust

-Pretzels

-Crackers

-Flour Mix

-Cereal

-Bagels

-Pastries (donuts, etc.)

Anything else? I was thinking this would be helpful for newbies, as well as everyone else who struggles to find good gluten-free foods. I'm sure we've all tried some pretty bad ones, let's see if we can spare anyone else!!

Add your categories and favorite products!!

-Bread (frozen) --Kinnikinnick tapioca cheese bread

-Bread (mix) --Chebe so far is the best substitute for me

-Cake Mix --none yet (but many bummers), works best to make you own and add a flour substitute (see Hagman)

-Cookies (prepared or mix)-- Pamela's peanut butter chocolate chip (but you can taste the xanthan gum)-- Shauna Ahern's lemon cookies (recipe on blogsite)-- trader joe's ginger snaps

-Pasta-- rice noodles or buckwheat soba noodles hands down

-Pizza/Pizza Crust-- Kinnikinnick makes some frozen ones. You have to thaw them first.

-Pretzels-- no bummers so far

-Crackers-- glutino, almond thins and Dr. Schar's

-Flour Mix-- Hagman's three flour blend

-Cereal-- trader joe's gluten-free granolas

-Bagels-- Kinnikinnick brand

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
