I discovered yesterday that Post's Cocoa Pebbles are gluten free!! I never expected to be so happy to see my daughter eat 'junk' cereal but she was so happy that it was 'normal' food and had Fred Flintstone on the box.

What is your favorite?

I found gluten free graham crackers and gluten free ice cream cones yesterday at a health food store near me. I was so excited to find these for my daughter. Now she can have graham crackers at preschool with the rest of the class. Not to mention they seem like they will make a good pie crust for something. And the ice cream cones...what 3 year old doesn't want a ice cream cone like everyone else! I haven't tried them yet, but I am thinking positively!!!

Envirokids Koala Bars. The kids love them and they're so nice for on-the-go snacking.

Pamela's baking mix and gluten-free pretzles (and I think they taste better than regular ones)

Amy's frozen mac and cheese. It's great to have for a quick lunch. My parents keep boxes at their house in case of a babysitting emergency. I keep a box at school in the freezer for an emergency lunch for my son. My kids love it and would eat it all day if I'd let them!

What kind of gluten free graham crackers did you find? I've been looking for some.

They are called S'morables by Kinnikinnick. I was quite impressed with the taste and my 3 year old loves them!!

My 2 favourite gluten-free foods of all time: the ready-made Pyrogies (which are worth paying almost $6 for a dozen), and recently Glutano soup crackers are back. LOVE the soup cracker. I am a huge fan of Glutino mushroom soup, so the Glutano crackers go along perfectly!

Other gluten-free cereals...

Rice Chex is now. This just occurred in the past 2-3 months.

Little Einsteins is but we cannot find it anymore anywhere.

Fruity Pebbles too

Glutino's english muffins. They make great toast. Much better than gluten-free bread IMO. Not cheap of course at about a dollar a shot.

Rice Chex for sure.

Mine isn't one discovery but I was VERY pleased by the grocery store Wegmans and their gluten free aisle! I bought SO MUCH food for Violet! Tons of stuff that didn't have rice in it too! Violet is allergic to rice and it seems like so much is made with primarily rice flour but Wegmans had a ton NOT with rice flour! If you have one near you I highly rcommend this grocery store! I even found one pizza dough kit not made with rice!

I was thrilled about the Rice Chex of course. I've found all sorts of uses for them. Even use them for crumbs to make meat loaf. Another favorite of mine is Glutino's feta cheese and spinach pizza.

Omg yes...I usually would not eat either ingredient, but one day tried that pizza, and fell in love with it!

Surprisingly, the big health food stores here in DFW, Central Market & Whole foods, don't carry Glutino. But we have a Sprouts Market, a small version of Whole Foods, and that's where I first discovered Glutino products. They also carry Glutino crackers, pretty damn good IMO.

BTW, the Glutino english muffins are also a bit on the greasy side, but tasty.

The only 2 bread products I like from Glutino is the baguettes and the hamburger buns. Mmmm hamburger buns. Too bad I can't eat hamburgers very often lol. But next time I plan to make a trip to Wendy's I think I'll take a bun along!

gluten-free Crackers! Glutino is AWESOME and one of my favorite brands!

I also discovered that mixing peanut butter and jelly in a bowl and eating it is just as good as a PBand J sandwich. And rolling up most other sandwich ingredients together are just as good too.

But I can't find any decent gluten-free hot dog buns....

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
