Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. My doctor gave me a list of foods I can and can't eat, but there are all of these special Glutton Free mixes and frozen foods at Whole Foods and my local super market. Does any one have any advice they can give me. Which of the mixes and special "glutton free" products are worth trying, which aren't? Would love some advice. Thanks! :)

I would suggest you keep a food journal.

You will be trying new foods and may find you have other food intolerances other than gluten.

You can also keep track of products you do and do not like. Once you find products you like you can order in bulk on-line. (I click through goodshop and a small percentage of the purchase goes to a charity I choose when I shop on-line.)

I agree with a food journal. I didn't know what to buy and wished someone would tell me what to buy for my husband. I found out just because a bunch of people like doesn't mean we will like it.

Before buying in bulk make sure the savings are worth it. I was going to start buying my flours online in bulk until I figured out that I was only saving $2.00, about a quarter per package. It was worth the quarter to buy it at the local store so they will continue to carry it.

Kinnickinnick, Bakery on Main Granola, Glutino, Tinkyada pasta, Gluten Free Panry Mixes, the french bread mix makes great pizza crusts, those are a few of my favs.

Everyone is different in their tastes as far as what they like. Take it easy on the replacements for a little bit though. Some will contain ingredients that you may not have had before and some may be a little tough on the tummy at first for a few of us.

The best way to go at first is to go with whole unprocessed foods as much as you can. Do as suggested check out the products section of the board.

I went online and read reviews of products and then read stuff here.

I am Italian and pretty picky about pasta. I really like the Tinkyada pasta.

Betty Crocker has a great brownie and cake mix. My family devoured the cupcakes I made from the yellow cake mix.

I am finding that my gut needs more healing and when I eat the gluten free junk food it's not agreeing with me. Neither is the bread right now. I was VERY sick when I started this just a bit over 2 weeks ago, so maybe you won't experience that.

I was dying for a sweet though so I got some gluten free rice crispie cereal (you have to buy this special because the regular brand has barley malt) and I made rice krispie treats. I threw some chocolate chips in that were safe and that satisfied my sweet craving with no tummy ache. I don't know if all marshmallows are gluten free so read ingredients.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
