What You Would Like That Is Gluten Free, Your Choice! Question

Okay,

So I am super curious. If everyone on this forum, had to pick one or two things, or maybe even more, that they could get at the store or online that is gluten free, what would it be. I am curious what people look for the most. Which items, foods, anything. Please let me know. The more replies the better. Be specific if you like, soy, lactose free, etc. I am running a sort of quasi experiment/survey for future reference. Please feel free to share what you would want the most!

Thanks.

Alexis. :)

Hi Alexis,

It sounds like you're asking a hypothetical question... but actually, you can already get just about anything you want in a gluten-free version. Chocolate cake, pizza crust, pasta... in some places there are even gluten-free bakeries for bread, pastries, etc...

I've never ordered anything online. Some gluten-free processed foods are delicious, but some are not. I'm not willing to pay a lot for S&H on a gamble. ;)

If I was to make a "wish list" of sorts, I suppose one of the items I'd like is a gluten-free version of Triscuits.

Generally speaking, I mostly want gluten-free flours and stuff more widely available, and at reasonable prices. But I guess that goes without saying.

Oh, that's easy - Twizzlers - red licorice.

I can modify and make many things gluten-free that I like that *mostly* taste good but I can't get gluten-free red licorice !

I'm working on a gluten-free licorice recipe, and will be sure to post it once I get it to work. However, it won't be red unless you color it somehow.

I figure since gummy candies are made from modified cornstarch, something like licorice can't be too difficult. Maybe, an easy way out would be to melt some gummy candies, and add some licorice root and anise extracts. Probably also a bit of some sort of starch to make it less gummy once it cools.

I cook mostly from scratch so I don't buy too many things but the ones I do buy I am grateful to find gluten free. I concur with the person who stated, gluten free flours at a reasonable price. I like gluten free soy sauce, gluten-free hoisin and gluten-free worcestershire sauce (the last two took me several years to find gluten-free, I'm glad not to have to make them from scratch anymore).

Braggs Liquid Aminos is a great gluten-free sub for soy sauce.

I have gotten to where I can make any-darn-thing gluten-free I want. The ONE thing I would LOVE to have made gluten-free though is my favorite ice cream flavor, Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie. I gotta get an ice cream maker.

I would like more stuff, like pretzels and crackers that are gluten free, dairy free and, the hardest, SOYA free. I find that companies use lots of soya flour in these savoury things and i find it really hard to give her 'healthy' snacks that i can keep in the car. I know that dried fruit is always an option, but hey, how much fruit can a not yet 4 year old eat?!?!

No, actually I am asking for another reason. And yes, it is hypothetical. I just want responses to my question. Thanks for the criticism but it is falling on deaf ears. I obviously already know about Gluten Free foods or I wouldn't be here. Thanks anyway.

Thanks to everyone for your great replies so far. This is great. I actually have a reason for asking, and I will probably reveal what that is pretty soon. But I want everyone's non biased responses first before saying anything. I have found that there are LOTS of things that I cannot buy at the store that would just make my life easier if they had it. I don't mind cooking from scratch and I do lots. BUT, it would be so much nicer if there were more varieties of frozen pizza for example, or more flavors of pies, so I wouldn't have to do it from scratch every time. Or premade cakes, or different crackers that didn't feel like cardboard sometimes. LOL. Chicken breading I know you can get but it is super hard to find, or hot dog buns. You can order them but you have to pay unGodly amounts of shipping. So I am looking for the every day basics that if you wanted to just go to the cupboard or fridge and grab _______ what would it be? These are great responses so far. Please keep replying as you think of things. You can reply as much as you want. Thanks a bunch to everyone!

Alexis :lol:

gluten-free girl scout cookies! and creamy canned soups (like cream of broccolli, etc)

All right... I thought of one. Gluten-free, dairy-free croissants.

I am a croissant SNOB :P I haven't even dared to try the gluten-free breads because I just can't imagine they're going to be anything like the original. Croissants are the ultimate in gluteny goodness. So light and flaky. And with chocolate in the middle...

Ohhhh... and baklava. That texture with all the layers of phyllo dough... mmmm.

Wow, we have a lot in common. I still eat dairy. But I have started taking probiotics on my own because of the diet, and I have also lost a ton of weight. It's crazy. I have been gluten free since January or so of this year and it has helped a lot. I can actually eat food and stuff now, whereas before I just felt sick all the time and didn't eat much. So we have a lot in common. I would like to hear more of how you deal with stuff or what else you have found works for you. :)

And that's for the great suggestions. Everyone is really writing some good ones. Girl Scout cookies seems to be a big one. And I can TOTALLY RELATE. It kills me, I miss the Thin Mints!!! LOL

Oh! Those girl scout samoa cookies were the ones I liked. One of these days I'm gonna make 'em gluten-free, and dairy-free/sugar-free too.

About the pita bread - that one's easy. I've made it several times, only it was never my intention :lol: Now I just have to recall what it was I did...I'll post the recipe once I remember...

Oooh....

a thick slice of toasted artisan seven grain (seibenfelder) bread with real butter (I am gluten-free/cf)!

And to be able to eat a piece of wedding cake...

baklava...

a slice (one slice!) of pizza with everything...

giant begian fluffy waffles from Pannekoekan...

an ice cream cone... with real ice cream!

giant ravioli stuffed with cheese...

bruschetta....

a simple piece of peanut butter toast on oatnut bread...

chocolate from Lindt....

a slab of aged parmegianno reggiano and/ or manchego on real crackers....

dim sum....

God has a lot to answer for when I get to the other side. Actually, if i understand it correctly, in Islam if you have stomach problems during your life, you go straight to heaven when you die. Maybe it will be a huge banquet hall with all of these things.

I've never seen any of those brands here in Vancouver (Canada). I'll have to pick some up the next time I'm in the USA.

Saltines. And Ritz crackers. What's the point of finding Heinz tomato soup that tastes like Campbell's and is gluten-free if I can't crumble a whole sleeve of saltines into it? Sigh.

I think one of my biggest desires is cracker and pretzel type snacks for my kids that are gluten-free that I could find at any grocery store instead of making a special trip to the Health Foods store and paying twice what their gluten containing counterparts cost.

OH, and a gluten-free OREO-like cookie (that I don't have to make from scratch) that really tastes like an OREO instead of cardboard.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

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?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. 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.
