Gluten-free tamari is terrific if you can handle soy. San-J brand is available in most health food stores (actually labeled "Wheat Free"). Sorry I don't have any specific recipe suggestion; much to my own surprise, I haven't really eaten any rice since I found out about quinoa.

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for with "chicken beef flavor" or "chinese flavor". I mean, I make a chinese-inspired stir fry all the time, but they taste different, and the sauce is a part of the stir-fry (the meat/veggies), not the rice.

Can you be any more specific? Maybe reference some recipes that we can help convert?

I have a few things that I do with rice that I use to change things up a bit. I use a rice cooker to make my rice, so I just throw everything in there and let the machine cook it.

For a more tropical rice

I use coconut milk instead of water and cut up some mango and toss it is

A pretty much goes with everything rice

Put the usual amount of rice and water, add 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes (depending on how much rice you are making) and then add a handful of raisins or craisins, and if you like nuts a handful of slivered almonds

Add rice and water to the cooker as always, add some onions and soy sauce (i use both la choy gluten free and san J)

For rice to go with mexican food

I make the rice normally for the rice cooker but throw in some cilantro (fresh or dried, whatever you have) and the juice from one lime squeezed. Also if you are a spicy person, you can put some jalapeneos and poblanos in there for more kick

These were the ones I could think of just sitting at the computer without my cooking binder. Being the only Celiac in the family, I cook lots of rice dishes. If you would like more, let me know. I also have recipes for other fun things to do with leftover rice if you are interested.

Cook pinto beans ( season to flavor) and rice. Then simply eat both together with a decent amount of each, very tasty ( base on ones seasoning). Ofcourse side items such as gluten ( and yeast free if like) bread.

Cook your rice with gluten free chicken broth instead of water.

Make spanish rice with small can of tomato paste, two cans of water, one cup of rice. Fry the uncooked rice and spices (salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano) in some oil. one the rice is browned add the tomato paste and water. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.

Sometimes I put a little olive oil in a stockpot and saute some garlic, celery, carrots and onions, then throw in some dry rice and let the rice get coated with oil and golden (becareful not to burn it). After that I throw in either water or chicken stock or both, and season it with salt. It changes up just the plain ole rice taste.

thank you everybody for all your suggestion. they where just what i was looking for. it just that u can buy rice with flavor from all sorts of companies but i really wanted to make it myself. ( and i do have a huge bag of brown rice) now i can make a few so its not always plain with soy sauce. i guess the rice was just getting boring. and we have only just started eating it this last few months:P we eat a lot of potatoes and pasta too. but i hear rice is better for us which is what made me want to give it extra taste.

thanks again. your all so very helpful

Risotto is also a wonderful way to change up rice! It is easier to make than you might think - check out recipes on foodnetwork - lots of Risotto variations are possible & I haven't found one that I didn't like yet.

You can look there for other recipes as well but this is one of the best for rice I think!

If you're looking to dress up plain ol' white rice, get some good basmati rice and rinse well (at least 3 times). Melt a knob of butter in the pot and add the rice, and "fry" until all of the rice is golden with butter and is starting to look a bit cooked. Add the water (2:1 ratio to the rice) and cook over medium heat, covered, until "holes" appear in the top. Don't stir it while it's cooking.

At the butter stage, add in any of the following: garlic, minced onion (or any veg), tumeric, whole cumin seeds, sesame seeds. You can also use saffron, but be absolutely sure you're getting the real thing!

You can also make Jamaican rice & peas ("peas" are kidney beans in the US) - Drain the liquid from a can of kidney beans into a bowl. Put the beans in the pot. Rinse the rice and add it, too. Then make a 2:1 ratio of liquid to rice, using the bean "juice", coconut milk, and water. The more coconut, the better! I add about half of a scotch bonnet pepper, but if you don't like hot stuff (and I do mean HOT!) you can leave it out or substitute milder seasonings. It's good as a side dish to any meal, or by itself for breakfast. If you want a one-dish meal add some cut-up chicken or pork or pre-cooked beef as it's cooking. [and if you want a GREAT vegetable with rice & peas, find some calalloo! it's sort of like spinach - only better and more nutritious!]

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
