Gluten-free Products You Have Tried And Liked

I have been trying several products(gluten-free) of course. I have found that my favorite pancake syrup is gluten-free (Vermont Made)brand. I tried the 123 gluten-free Buckwheat pancakes mix is really good. The recipe makes about 12 nice size pancakes. The 123 Gluten-free poundcake mix is on the expensive side, but really very good! Salad dressings I like are DREW'S (the gluten-free ones. I'm going to have to ask GIANT to order that flaver I like the best the Raspberry Vinigrette, I had that during my recent hospital stay. Dr. SCHAR's pizza crusts are really pretty good also, you put your own sauce and cheese on it and bake it. Do you folks have any other suggestions of items you have tried and liked or didn't like?

I like Pamela's bread mix and baking (pancake) mix. I also like all the Tinkyada pastas. There aren't many other products I buy. Kinnikinick pizza crusts are pretty good, but I don't eat them often.

ravenwoodglass Mentor

Kinnickinnick Italian breads and pizza crusts

Bakery on Main Granola

Betty Crocker Chocolate chip cookie mix, I add an extra egg and make them into bar cookies

Tom Sawyer Flour, great for stuff like scalloped potatoes

Pamelas baking mix

Gluten Free Pantries French Bread mix, great for deep dish pizza dough, and their Chocolate cake mix.

Udi'd bread, white or multi grain, this bread you can eat without toasting

Schar's crackers and cookies, most of their products are great

Against the Grain's baguettes (satisfies my french bread craving), rolls (satisfies my croissant craving) and pizza crust

Bi-Aglut pasta, I think it's better than the rice based, this is corn based

Betty Crocker's chocolate chip cookie mix, haven't tried their cake and brownie ones yet

San-J's soy sauce or Braggs Amino Acid

Bob's Red Mill, do not like them at all

Udi's products and Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake mix. If I like it, it must be fabulous because I am super picky. :)

I continue to eat gluten (gained 5 pounds :(), LOVE all the stuff I am eating and don't feel any different when on or off gluten. The terrible muscle pain and exhaustion continue after any little bit of physical labor. Lots of that white s@#^ keeps falling every day. I have a deal with a neighbor; he uses my snow blower on his drive and when he brings the machine back he does my drive. That's great, but I have to shovel and clear stairs between the house and the garage several times a day. The three Siberian huskies' kennel is an insulated room in the garage and currently, I have to go there every 6 hours to let my injured girl out to "do" and then she has to be locked inside her crate again. The poor baby has been on crate arrest since 12-14 when she somehow seriously damaged a paw. She has a bulky dressing on it that can't get wet so I have to wrap up her paw in plastic for every trip outside. I can't believe she hasn't gone crazy. She can't come in the house because Sibes like to eat cats. :(

Here are things that I think taste like the real thing:

~Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread(comes in a mix, cook in oven or bread machine-easy, just mix egg, milk[can be real,rice,soy,etc] and water I believe) We add sunflower seeds, gluten free oats, quinoa flakes and flax to it, so it is pretty grainy and a lot like whole grain. I loooove looove loove this bread it is by far the best

~Mi-del Gluten free Ginger Snaps

~Van's Gluten free Waffles

~Amy's brands soupsa(0nly some are gluten free, it will say so on the back, if not, its not safe) and other Amy's products(Again, check to be sure it says gluten free)

~Schar--PASTA IS AMAZINGLY EXACTLY LIKE REAL PASTA

~I love "Envirokidz" cereals--Gorilla Munch,Leapin Lemurs,Panda Puffs, etc, never would of known they are gluten-free

Here are some I like or have grown used to:

~Corn Tortilla(check that its just corn, some mix real flower in)

~Tinkyada and Corn/Quinoa Pasta

~The Cravings Place brand makes good mixes for multiple allergies including celiac and they have brownie, muffin, cookie, etc mix and are all good.

Its pretty easy to find subs. I tend to not eat them a lot, im more of a fruit, veggie person. I eat lots of beans, nuts, seeds and veggies/fruits as my diet

Ooh-- I adore Dr. Lucy's cookies. Cinnamon crisp, sugar cookies, chocolate chip-- all good. But pricey at 4.50 a small box. gluten-free/ CF.

And Udis muffins and breads are surprisingly good. Real thing good. How do they do it??

Lifestream buckwheat waffles with little berries in them-- don't get as hard as those vans that tear up th roof of your mouth!

And of course, tings (cheetos without the cheese.)

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  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.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
