Has anyone found a decent substitute for poptarts? I've looked everywhere but yet to find any gluten-free version. :(

Luckily, homemade poptarts are incredibly easy. Take your favourite pie-dough, put homemade fresh fruit in the middle, poke a little and bake. Much tastier, healthier, and very easy!

When I make pancakes, I mix up a whole bag of gluten-free pancake batter and make all of them at one time. I freeze them, a couple at a time, in a zip lock bag. You could make mock poptarts by popping a baggie in the microwave to heat and then adding some jam or applesauce and cinnamon in between the pancakes.

:( No disrespect but I've been feeling pretty lazy to make pop tarts. I did print the recipe out in case my husband would like to make them for me. :rolleyes: Thanks

I've had no luck making gluten-free pie dough. Perhaps it is our other allergies. I think I used Spectrum shortening instead of butter or margarine. But now that I think of it...I couldn't make regular pie dough for beans. I resorted to buying pre-made stuff. I'm normally a good baker but I can't do pie dough.

Too bad someone hasn't come out with a frozen or shelf stable gluten-free toaster pastry. I bought some Amy's Orangics that I can eat and daughter keeps begging me not to make them because they smell so good.

Me too! I totally gave up ... i only tried three times, but i'd read something on line about how many times she'd scraped a perfectly good pie filling off an inedible pie crust. I did read that you can just make a crumb crust instead, which i didnt get around to trying. but i was tempted to try using my sugar cookie recipe (but of course, I make it for the kids, first i'd have to get it to work without eggs or tapioca flour lol)

I tried doing the turkey pot pie with just a bisquit-type topping . . and we all got mysteriously ill. HOwever, i did have great success w peach cobbler (no eggs, dairy, gluten, tapioca, or rice . .. lol) - the family eats them as fast as I can make them.

Fortuneatly, i dont miss poptarts. I mostly just miss cheese . . . omg, i almost cried in the store today, looking at all the gourmet cheeses . . .and i feel so guilty because i dont buy them for my family any more, either - becuase if i dont work them in to a meal, no one eats them and they just go moldy in the fridge . .and i have to cry again

I can not get a good bisuit recipe but I think it's because of my other allergies. I did find a good dumpling recipe but it doesn't make enough dumplings to suit us.

We eat this faux cheese. It's pretty good.

Gravy is good too. Haven't tried the other stuff.

Is this brand of cheese honestly good? We have tried others and they sure aren't. I would be delighted to find a cheese I could buy. It's what I miss the most. Do you know if it's also corn free? Thanks!

So far I have tried the Parmesan (can't tell it from the real thing...even smells like it), Pizza blend (excellent on pizza), cheddar (tasted fine but arrived melted). Got the Mozarella today as well as the others. Also tried the American. It was good but IMO no better than the rice cheese we already buy. And I don't have to pay postage for that.

I would highly recommend this stuff. Tonight, daughter and I got salads from the salad bar at a grocery store and topped them with some Parmesan. Yum!

Sorry, I don't know if it is corn free or not. We don't have to worry about corn.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
