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

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.)

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
