What foods do you miss most? If you could have a 'free' day or your Dr. made you eat gluten (like me) what would you choose?

I can't decide. I'm also not happy about this.

I would have tons of pizza. I haven't made any gluten free pizza yet since I can't have cheese either. Pizza without cheese just wouldn't do it for me.

After pigging out on pizza, I'd hit chocolate chip cookies. Haven't tried the gluten free cookies either because of other food sensitivities.

One night before I went to sleep I pictured all the foods I would like to eat. Haven't started dreaming of them yet.

Interesting to think about this now after being gluten-free for four and a half years. In that time, I've learned how to make just about anything I want gluten-free and delicious.

Two exceptions are big southern style biscuits and Krispy Creme donuts. :)

Although nothing, no one, no way I would ever knowingly touch it again...

Baklava or anything made with phyllo dough (anyone know of any gluten-free?)

Those toaster strudel thingies or the raspberry flaky turnovers

Cresent biscuits

Real crusty warm Italian or Sourdough bread

Pizza Hut Pizza

Bob's Sub from Slippery Rock, PA

Garlic bread and lasagna

I'm not crying too loudly, though because my husband is making me steak on the grill with a grilled yam for dinner :-D

You couldn't pay me to eat gluten(or carbs)again but I'll play along(since I miss carbs and cheese and fruit...)

Big Mac or Whopper(I do have recipe for Big Mac Sauce(copycat) posted on this forum)

Pizza

european style cakes with layers of fruit, mousse, whipped cream, sponge cake etc.(I guess the sponge is the gluteny part and if one took the time these types of cakes could be made gluten-free and just as good but I would love to just walk into such a cake shop again and choose a selection of several made by a pasty chef)

kiddo would say a good sourdough bread

Others are right, MANY things can be made just as good gluten-free.

Right now, at this very moment, I have to say chicken nuggets. I have only been gluten free for 3 weeks and this was the first time I really struggled with wanting something. I was very sick with a nasty stomach thing yesterday and I always have chicken nuggets when my stomach is working it's way back to ok after a stomach bug. I missed them today.

Allergy Free makes some that taste like the real deal in our(kiddo and my) humble opinions.

It hasn't been that long for me...and since I can still have most of my favorite foods (I'm a really simple eater), I can't say there is too much. I hate feeling sick, so things that make me sick no longer have the same appeal. I think the only things I'll miss as time goes on are golden oreos (really, just the oreo middle!) and fried rice. Once I figure out how to make those two things, I'll be in gluten-free heaven.

I would think a vanilla wafer with stuffing would be similar. I have only made gluten-free/vegan vanilla wafers...but the stuffing is easy (I have a recipe). Fried rice is easy...it all depends on what you want in it. Fast version: make extra rice the day before and extra breakfast food like bacon and scrambled eggs. Then stir fry carrots, celery (one dd doesn't like it so I just use 1 rib), green onions, what ever you like, in a little oil. Add the meats, add the rice and soy sauce (we use Bragg's liquid aminos). Then a scoop of frozen peas (or peas and carrots). Add a little water if needed. Be sure to use cold, cooked rice. Chopped water chestnuts are good too. My dd likes it with chicken or ham but her fave is bbq pork cut into little pieces (not sure if its gluten-free, haven't bought it since she's gluten-free).

A flaky croissant, a real crusty sourdough bread, something savoury made from phyllo pastry, and a pepperoni, mushroom and olive pizza.

Dairy and red meats are off limits still, So far I've had a Chick-fil-A sandwich, a slice of cinnamon raisin toast, and today Popeye's chicken, a biscuit & 3 onion rings. None of it was as good as I remembered, certainly not worth the pain and stomach turmoil they've caused. But that biscuit was damn good. I still can't decide what to eat tomorrow, but Saturday I'm making Barbeque Shrimp and dunking hot French bread in the sauce. And I am drinking a Guinness!

I'm going with phyllo dough. Baklava and spanikopita. Most anything else I can make a suitable substitute. Though a biscuit from Cracker Barrel would be awfully good too!

I was thinking of exactly those things. Tomorrow's breakfast will be Cracker Barrel's biscuits w/coffee and sourdough wheat grilled toast. Or possibly French toast. Does Cracker Barrel make that?

Today I've had a bite each of an almond croissant, a chocolate eclair and an apple turnover (hubby & daughter helped w/the rest) I Loved the texture of the turnover, nothing Gluten-free makes those puffy, flaky layers. The other two were not good at all.

I thought that Kinnikinnick or Mi-Del? one of the other companies anyway, made round vanilla sandwich cookies. Haven't had them but I've seen them on the shelves.

I'd have a Cinnabon (sp?) cinnamon roll w/ extra frosting. I'd also go for an old fashioned donut, Frosted Flakes, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread. And last but not least Cookie Dough Ice cream (maybe with a few other off limit flavors thrown in, like cookies and cream).

I've seen them on shelves too and I remember someone telling me they were not too bad either. Though I've never had them myself.

The only thing I haven't made and am leary to try, though I will: a croissant. Everything else I make deliciously gluten-free.

Oh, and I'd wash it down with either a Sam Adam's summer ale or a Magic Hat #9. I miss beer selections :(

I make gluten-free fried rice all the time. :) All you need to do is use wheat-free soy sauce.

As far as what I would eat if there were a magic day when I'd have no reaction -- I'm pretty sure it would be fresh sourdough bread. Yum!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
