In Search Of gluten-free Staples

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.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
