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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
