I am so happy I discovered these!

Funyuns are kinda like French-Fried Onions--they're onion-flavored, potato-based chip-thingies, shaped like onion rings. They're sold in big bags in the chip aisle, and sometimes in little single-serve bags near the check-out.

AND THEY'RE gluten-free!!!!!!!! (But they're not MARKETED as gluten-free, which is good--they're cheap!!!!!)

Use them in Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving!

And they make AWESOME chicken nugget/fish stick coating! Just grind up in your food processor.

That is great to know. I use to like to eat them all of the time. How did you find out they are gluten free?

they are listed on Frito-Lay's gluten free listing:

however, all of their items except for Lays Stax are made on shared lines with gluten containing products. with that being said, i've eaten tostitos and nut harvest almonds with no problem before, so i guess it's all in your tolerance level and sensitivity.

enjoy :)

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I've been trying to think through green bean casserole and that's the last piece to the puzzle! My kids insist on it at Thanksgiving and I really want some if they're having it. I'm going to test run it. Thanks again!

What do you use in place of the cream of mushroom soup?

I also use them all the time for green bean caserole. Turns out great!!!

Tim, for the soup I use progresso creamy mushroom. It's a little thinner than the condensed soups, but if you cook it without foil or a lid ontop some of the liquid evaporates.

LOVE IT!!

Some of you may find this amusing; I've never in my life eaten green bean casserole, and I'm not sure I've even seen it.

Ditto. You can also thicken it with some cornstarch or gluten-free flour.

Jess, I do find it amusing. It's one of those need to have things for Thanksgiving. Rather yucky, in my humble opinion. I can do without. :o

Fresh beans with some garlic and dill...ooohhh so much better. :D

For the cream of mushroom soup, I buy (at Sam's Club) a plastic jar of dried mushrooms. I use a bunch of those, a cup of chicken broth, and a cup of cream. Bring to a boil, and thicken with a little cornstarch dissolved in water. Add whatever spices you like. I add garlic, tarragon, and pepper. No salt, because the broth is plenty salty.

Your fresh beans do sound good.

But maybe you've never had GOOD green bean casserole? I do dislike it when it's prepared with canned beans, but with frozen (especially if you only THAW them before baking, don't cook them first) beans, it's definitely comfort food!

You can also jazz it up with chopped red peppers, almonds, cheese, artichoke hearts, whatever.

Being from the South, GBC is at every holiday gathering. I just have never liked green beans. Never. So I dont eat them. Fresh, frozen or canned. Yuck! NowI t here is the interesting thing. I have had A.L.C.A.T. testing done 3 different times over the past 12 years and EVERY time green beans show up as highly allergic. That blows a hole in the you can only test POS on Elisa if you are actually eating the food. My body just rejects green beans. :)

I think a version could be made with zuchini or yellow squash that would be yummy.

LOL...You're not the only one, Jestgar. I've never eaten it either! Now I think I'll have to give it a try.

My wife is allergic to mushrooms so we have used other "cream of..." soups. Since I diagnosis, I 've just avoided the casserole but I might try just thickening some broth, etc.

This is great. I'm pretty new to this site, so I just found this recipe section today. I just posted in another section about wishing I could make green bean casserole. :) I've always made mine with canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup... mixed 'em together... then put grated cheddar cheese over the top and French's onions. I was a little bummed about not being able to use the onions anymore. Thanks for the tip on funions. I'll definately have to try those. Wow, looks like I'll be able to have all the staples still over the holidays! Turkey, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes w/ marshmallows, gravy (made with cornstarch of course), and my "famous" raspberry pretzel jello (I've thankfully found gluten-free pretzels that taste pretty much identical!). I don't care about missing out on stuffing... never liked that anyway. :P Who needs gluten, anyway?

I'm also excited about trying the Progresso soup... I've just been using sour cream in my casseroles, which seems to be not quite the best substitution.

I am so sad. I wanted to test run the casserole this weekend but really running into some roadblocks.

I cannot find Cream of Mushroom Soup by Progresso in any of my stores. Any suggestions? I know I can make it from scratch but I was trying to avoid that.

Also I looked at the Funyuns and they include maltodextrin. Isn't that a no-no?

Who can help me?

Neither can I and I have looked at 7 different grocers here in Charlotte, NC.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks!

Gluten free Cream of Mushroom does not get any better than this: Glutino Soup Mix!!! I use HALF the water the directions call for, since the directions are for making the soup to eat as a meal, wheras I am making a condensed version to put in recipes such as GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE and CHEESY POTATOES!

You just wisk the mix into cold water in a pan and heat to a simmer, stirring constantly. Only takes a few minutes and it thickens right up and is perfect for recipies.

gluten free.com sells it, not sure who else. Beth

This is a bit time consuming but you can freeze it and bake it on the day you want to eat it. It makes a better then non gluten green bean casserole.

GLUTEN FREE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Cream of Mushroom Soup:

1 tsp Butter

1 lb. button mushrooms

(if you want the more traditional mushroomy flavor omitted the extra

vegetables and only use mushrooms, use all vegetables for a savory

Green bean casserole)

1 large celery stalk finely chopped

1 small white onion chopped

1 tsp fresh garlic

6 Tablespoons butter

2 cups chicken stalk

1 1/2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup evaporated milk

6 Tablespoons flour (sweet rice flour preferably)

2 teaspoon dry mustard

Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1 tsp parsley

1 tbs chives (dried)

3 tbs dried onions

1/2 cup to 1 1/2 cups crushed Funyons

4 pieces of bacon crumbled (optional)

French Fried Onions (gluten free fried onion rings)

2lbs fresh Green beans, cleaned and cut into 2 inch pieces

1 Tablespoon Wheat Free Soy Sauce

Directions:

To start this recipe, I would prepare the French fried onions. It

would be smart to prepare these in advance and store them in an air

-tight container, so you are not stuck in the kitchen for longer

than you have to be.

First, saut

In addition to my suggestion of using glutino gluten-free cream of mushroom soup mix I was going to post the following link to gluten free mommy's recipe

Glancing at the post after my last though, I think Passygassy has posted gluten free mommy's recipe already.

I didn't even know vegetables came in cans... Let alone what a casserole is. Thats what growing up on a farm in HI will do to you.

I make green beans lightly steamed with a little butter, crumbled bacon and roasted almond slivers. Delicious.

Yep that's where i got the base from, I added a few things to it because I am into that kind of thing. I made it a couple nights ago my husband said this is yummy. I had to have something to feed a family of not gluten free people. This is going to be it. Also you can just use the canned green beans alone it does not have to be fresh, I used a mixture of both. The onions are totally hers.

Some thoughts on Green Bean Casserole:

First, Funyuns have become a staple at our house! (Chee-tos are also made from corn and thus gluten-free). They work wonderfully both on top of this casserole and as a breading for fried yummies, etc.

Second, someone mentioned this, I think, but Progreso Cream of Mushroom soup is gluten-free, and they offer a handful of other delicious soups that are also gluten-free. Much easier than making the Cream of Mushroom from scratch, as I used to do before Progreso!

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
