I found out about a yr ago that I have leaky gut. I've tried to manage it by cutting out grains, breads, etc. I'm not doing great with that. Then, recently found out my 12 yr old son has a gluten allergy/intolerance and we both have soy allergies as well as numerous other allergies to healthy, raw foods (fruits and vegetables) and more and more good, healthy foods are being added to the list all the time. So, I'm jumping into a gluten-free, soy free diet with both feet. But don't really know what I'm doing. We've cut out HFCS, additives, preservatives, artificial ingreds a couple of yrs ago. So we do eat healthy, home-cooked, meals; I do the best I can, but we need to eliminate more. Does anyone have a suggestion on a good book/cookbook that can get me started with recipes, hidden gluten & soy ingredients, and just how to live gluten and soy free in a gluten and soy FILLED world??? :(

Thank you so much.

Hi, and welcome! You can find lots of good information on this forum. I don't have any particular cookbooks to recommend. I keep developing new allergies and intolerances so I stopped investing in cookbooks. What I do is look on the internet. There are lots of recipe sites--gluten free, vegan, raw food, you name it. I just google what I want to make and print out the recipe that has ingredients I can eat. I am starting a notebook. Today I am looking for a good recipe for soy free, dairy free, gluten free cashew cheese. I've been making my own, and it's pretty good, but I want to improve it.

There are also good recipes (and information on brands, ingredients, etc.) on this site. Use the Google space on the celiac.com screen (eg soy free mayonnaise, or tortilla recipe, or Hershey) and you have access to any previous discussions. People here are very sympathetic and practical and have a lot of experience.

Don't forget the actual food company/brand websites. They are pretty helpful, and there really are people at the 1-800 numbers who answer your questions.

It is really frustrating, isn't it? Keep at it--you'll find more and better things to eat.

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
