I'd like to hear the dream foods of members then ask if anyone can convert their recipes for all of us.

I cannot eat ice cream and read about the company that makes it with coconut milk and agave. They looked delicious but out of my budget. Can anyone make a great dairy free ice cream with the coconut milk that I like?

I'm sure if you search for Vegan Ice Cream Recipes you'll find lot's

because it's vegan, it's egg free as well.

.

Try looking around Vegiac.com (the gluten-free Vegetarian site)

Best Regards,

Great Idea for a post. The thing that I miss the most is a decent slice of sour dough or french bread. It's been 2 years for me now. I have to say before I went gluten free, I avoided bread unless it was a nice fresh loaf of good bread. I have pretty much given up trying because it is expensive and you feel guilty if you don't eat it. I'm hoping that the gluten free restaurant that is near me comes up with a good bread. As far as goodies, I do a good job. I have had great luck with cookies, scones, muffins, bar cookies, cheesecake, and a gooey butter cake. Thanks or starting the post.

I've tried 5 or 6 pizza crust recipes so far and today I tried this one. It wins! The best one yet and very easy to make.

I've made this french bread a few times, I think it's really good. Super crunchy on the outside and soft inside!! It makes amazing french bread pizza too :)

White Castle....

Best 6am meal in the world was 3-4 White Castle Cheeseburgers fresh off the steamer.

That is the only thing I miss, I gave up the rest without a second though.

You might want to check into an Australian study that showed sour dough bread prepared a certain way did not cause a immune response in Celiacs even though it had gluten.

I forget the exacts but it had to do with the way the dough was 'soured'. It had gluten, Celiacs ate it, and for some reason had no immune response.

This was not a specialty bread, it was a normal off the shelf sour dough but some part of their process caused it to be non-responsive. I did not have much luck and I even emailed the professor who had done the study but that was just about 2 years ago so unfortunately no longer have the info.

I tried the sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, really good. And the breakfast brownies...a regular at our house and you can put all kinds of yummy things in them like pumpkin seeds and chopped dates. Make a batch and while the dry ingredients are out, bag up some for a future batch.

The pueblo bread wasn't so good except when it first came out of the oven. The maui wowee bars are awesome and easy.

I saw that recipe but haven't gotten to try it yet. Thanks for reminding me. That would be good when it warms up.

Me too...I tried it twice I think, my gluten-free dd doesn't live at home, so I never made it again. It was good, just like french bread.

Different time frame and continent, but this sounds awfully close to what you described:

Luckily for me (I guess), I couldn't even get my favorite pre-gluten food if I tried. Until about 20 years ago, the supermarkets in the SF Bay Area sold a fresh ravioli and red sauce in the meat dept. If anyone remembers it, the box it came in was divided by a paper shelf, to separate the two sheets of ravioli inside. I left SF in the mid-80's, and it was nowhere to be found on return trips shortly afterwards. I can still taste it, it was so good. Those ravioli with a loaf of dark crust late bake sourdough and a bottle of a good red wine was my perfect meal.

Perhaps of the food I could still get, a good Napoleon, or a white cake with whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries would be what I'll miss most.

Here is some more info regarding this:Open Original Shared Link

Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon talks about presoaking grain in an acid changes the gluten. Don't quote me as its late at night and I no longer own the book. I am going to see if I can get it at the library and re-read it to see what she was talking about.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious.

Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Reintroduction of Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
