Why do I need more then one cookbook? I don't know but before going gluten free I bought shelf fulls of cookbooks, well mainly about baking. Julia Child, Rose Levy Bernbaum, Dorie Greenspan, King Arthur Flour, Peter Reinhart. Ya that was my type of baking. It was hard to accept I was going to bake gluten free. As time has gone by it has become easier and I have learned (by listening to people on here) to trust myself and keep baking. Also after listening to people on here I found I can take recipes from my favorite books and make them gluten free with a few adjustments. OF course Peter Reinharts book doesn't do me much good now!

BUT there are some great gluten free books out there. Plus blogs (I have one!) where people share what they have found regarding living and eating gluten free. Some blogs just want to sell you something so beware of those though!

Cooking with Coconut Flour (so far so good with everything I made but the cakes and such come out kind of eggy) I really like this as a reference and am trying to incorporate the coconut flour into all the recipes I use, it adds bulk to the baked item, its a great source of fiber and the baked item makes you FULL without needing to eat a lot.

Wheat-Free Recipes & Menus (very complete cookbook) This is the book I turn to when I want to know how to cook main dishes but the baked items are also very good and I compare all other recipes to the ones in this book

Gluten-Free Baking Classics (basic baking but very good) This was the first one I bought. It is a basic book but everything is simple and easy to make with good results.

The Gluten-Free Gourmet (for whatever reason I don't use this one much)

Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook (variety in baking)

Gluten-Free Baking (This is one of my favorites) This is the book for me. If you want to bake something special or something different this is the book to have.

I like "Cooking Free" the best so far and I have bought 4. I have multiple food avoidances, so it is perfect for me. Ways to bake and cook without gluten, dairy, egg and sugar.

I love cookbooks and collect them like other people collect... other things. The ones I use the most... oddly, not my Gluten free ones. I try to eat healthy and whole, so the ones I use the most are my two South Beach Diet cookbooks. I have the Quick & Easy and the original orange one. I don't really "do" the diet, I just use the recipes, substituting gluten-free things where necessary. I avoid a few things in the diet like the artificial sweeteners and things, but the entree and soup recipes in there are great. Fast, Healthy, Delicious and easy to make gluten-free. Love it.

I'll second the nomination for "Cooking Free" We're gluten, casein, and egg free and almost every recipe can be used without substitutions. It's the easiest for me to use, and has removed a lot of the guesswork as to which egg substitution to use.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
