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.)

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
