I really like the Envirokids cereals, and depending on where you get them they're not too expensive. You can buy them in bigger bags at Whole Foods which makes it cheaper.

I love Rice Chex- you can eat them plain as cereal or add bananas or craisons, put them in a baggie for a snack and add craisons to that too, make them into Muddy Buddies for snacks.

I like the Amy's frozen pizza but other people have complained that it's been causing problems for people...i'm not really supposed to be eating dairy but i still do so i don't know which is making me feel sick haha

i LOVE the MiDel Arrowroot cookies...they're animal crackers and they taste so good. I definitely think the other types will be good too.

If i think of any more I'll let you know :)

I like pretty much everything I get from Kinnickinnick. My favorite is the Italian Bread but I also like thier ready made pizza shells. For a real pizza treat IMHO you can't beat Gluten Free Pantry's French Bread mix for a deep dish fresh made pizza dough.

If you live near a Trader Joes, their ginger snaps are as good, if not better than "regular" ginger snaps.

The Kinnikinnick pre-made pizza crusts are good. I also liked the Foods By George Brownies and Pizza. I recently found Crunchmaster Mulit-seed Crackers that are very good. My son and I like Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat flakes.

-Cereal: Rice Chex (with bananas or raisins), Honey Kix (regular Kix are not gluten-free), Trix, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles

-Crackers: Glutino

-Bread: DD likes the Buttermilk Sandwich bread (it's like white bread) from Robin Ryberg's cookbook The Gluten Free Kitchen. I just made the dinner rolls from the same cookbook, they taste more like a whole wheat roll and they were very good. Her recipes are VERY easy, and most of her bread recipes don't require you to wait for the dough to rise.

-Pasta: Trader Joe's (cheaper) or Tinkyada brown rice pastas-- both are great

-Baked goods: we use Pamela's pancake and baking mix to make pancakes, banana chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin muffins, chocolate chip cookies. We also use a lot of our old recipes but sub an all purpose flour blend like Better Batter flour, Domato flour.

Bread: I would recommend baking your own in a breadmaker or using a mix. The Gluten Free Pantry mix and Pamela's Mix are both good. For a premade bread, Kinnikinnick is the best. I also like Sami's Bakery Millet and Flax bread, but it is NOT made in a dedicated facility. I have only gotten sick once though.

Crackers: I like Mary's Gone Crackers and Nature Valley Rice Thins

Pasta: Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta and Quinoa Pasta

Cereal: Rice Chex, Gorilla Munch, Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, Mesa Sunrise

Baked Goods: I would recommend baking your own. Gluten Free Pantry, Namaste, and Pamela's mixes are all excellent. For Premade: Kinnikinnick, Foods by George

Pizza Crust: For premade, Kinnikinnick is pretty good. Personally, I like to use the Chebe mix and make my own. It is very easy and DELICIOUS!

~ Rice Chex with blueberries or agave nectar.

~ Glutino's English Muffins.

~ Glutino's crackers (I wouldn't call Mary's Gone crackers crackers, I call them poker chips :P )

Pretty short list. Good thing for me I don't limit my consumption to products labeled gluten-free.

best regards, lm

I actually have a lot of favorites now, as the stores around me are caring more and more gluten free products.

I love the Envirokidz cereals, especially the Panda Puffs (I'm a peanut butter junky) and their cereal bars. I also like Quinoa Flakes as warm cereal for breakfast. The Lifestream buckwheat/berry frozen waffles are also good and depending on my mood sometimes I like the Glutino plain bagels.

I like everything by Dr. Schar the pasta, the cookies, the crackers, everything. It's the closest to the real thing for me, especially their shortbread cookies. I like some of the Pamela's cookies, but it's very dependent on the type. I like the Pecan Shortbread the most.

The Glutino crackers and pretzels are very good and I like their frozen dinners but not as much as the Gluten Free Cafe ones. I agree with the Kinnikinnick pre-made pizza crusts, they have become a staple of my diet. As have the Amy's frozen dinners (especially the kid's meal Baked Ziti).

I'll have to think a little bit more and add on later.

*cereals--The only cereal I use is Lundberg Farms Hot Rice Cereal. Very good with maple syrup and walnuts.

* crackers--I like the Glutino Crackers very much.

* bread--Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. Love it--I bake a loaf every couple of weeks, slice, and freeze.

* pasta--Tinkayda, by far. For soups, I like Mrs. Leepers Alphabets.

* natural baked goods--Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Also their cocoa snack bars.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. 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.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
