I am just starting (at the old age of 25, how pathetic) to get back into cooking and baking. I haven't done much since I was diagnosed as I went right into college after diagnosis and then med school where I dont' have TIME. But I getting inspired and I have bought some cookbooks but I wish they had pictures of the food like normal ones do. Any ideas? Or a regular cookbook with pictures that is easily adaptable?

Thanks !

I love pictures too! Have you checked out the many gluten-free blogs out there? Here's one to get you started. Open Original Shared Link Then you can click on the links there to other blogs to see what they have to offer.

Gluten Free Cookbooks I have noticed are hard to find with pictures. Sometimes it is frustrating b/c it would be nice to see what you are trying to make (on somethings).

Below are two neat websites, sometimes the person who posted the recipe did a picture too. Just put in gluten free and a lot of recipes will come up:

www.recipezaar.com

www.allrecipes.com

There are some on this site that still use their old cookbooks and change over the ingredients that need to be changed to gluten free ones.

GOOD LUCK!!

Glad those helped. When I get frustrated with gluten-free cooking, especially baking, I have to be patient with myself sometimes and remind myself what things were like when I started to learn to cook almost 20 years ago. I made some breads that were like rocks! In two years gluten-free I have only mastered one bread recipe and one cookie recipe. So many flops! My New Years resolution is to make decent casein-free, gluten-free pancakes and not give up no matter how many flops! I'm having to get creative with the flops to repurpose them so they don't go to waste. Cookies can be used for cheesecake crusts. We've ended up with alot of tough pancakes, so they get cut in strips and sent for school lunches with a container of syrup for dunking or spead with jam and made into sandwiches. Bread crusts and breads that we don't like end up as bread crumbs or french toast.

Michael Eberhart's book "Gluten Free & Wheat-Free Gourmet Desserts" has photos of every recipe in the book. I also like to have a photo of the finished product.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
