In Search Of gluten-free Staples


River Faerie

Recommended Posts

River Faerie Apprentice

Hi Friends,

After reading another forum, I went to a site that I had not previously found. It was Karina's Recipes. Oh my gosh, it was like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert! I am new, and in week four. If you are new like me, I highly suggest taking a look. There is hope!

I have been doing well in my eating and am committed to this new lifestyle, even though it is tough. I am CRAVING something soft, warm, and comforting. I found a bunch of recipes I would like to try, but I don't know where to find these new gluten-free staples for my pantry. Where do I get things like sweet sorghum flour, xanthan gum, arrowroot starch, etc.? I live in a small town at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I am about an hour from the nearest Trader Joe's and Lassens. Does anyone know a good place to find these supplies on line? Thanks!

I can't help with online sources but if you do get out and find an asian market, they sell white rice flour, tapioca, potato starch and sweet rice flour for only cents per bag.

Be sure to order/buy the gluten free items, they sometimes sell both in the stores and look almost the same.

I am making the Pueblo Bread and the Breakfast Brownies today and they are both dairyfree/egg free/soy free/gluten-free.

I have the same problem, our small health food store is about 75 miles away...so I buy several bags at a time of each flour. Being new since May, I just started my 2nd bag of xanthan gum but I will slow down on baking now and start cooking more crock pot meals. Fall is in the air, 2 nights ago it was 38 degrees where I live.

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
