Back After Many Years....

Hi everyone,

I used to be a regular on this site. I responded well to the gluten-free diet, but my doctor decided that I did not have Celiac several years ago. The stomach issues returned...as they have my whole life, EXCEPT when I was gluten-free. :rolleyes: Back on the gluten-free diet I go...

My question is this, since I'm "starting over", are there any new and wonderful products you all would share with me? I know Kinnikinnick has good items, and the company is loved by many on the site. That was my go-to company for premade items. Until I learn to cook again, I would love any input on premade "excellent" items.

Many thanks. And everyone take care.

-Julie

Hi Julie, welcome back :D

Hopefully the diet will be like riding a bike for you ;)

Some things I enjoy are--

Tinkyada Pasta

Enjoy Life Trail Mixes, Snickerdoodles, French Bread Mix, Pancake mix, Cornbread mix, Truffle Brownie Mix, Piecrust Mix

Lara Bars

Nothing new, really....I stick with what's worked for me and other than that I rely on naturally gluten-free foods.

Be sure to let us know how we can help you ease back into this. :)

Tinkyada Pasta

Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix (makes great pizza crusts too).

Oreo substitute: K-Toos from Kinnikinnick (sp?). I can't eat them often due to the sugar content (diabetes), but you can't tell they aren't Oreos.

I have never tried a Glutino product that I did not like.

We enjoy El Peto Italian Style Hamburger Buns. I don't know how widely available they are. The bakery is close to where we live.

I have only tried their pizza crusts, and don't like them.

Thank you all for your replies! B) I'll check out the items you all have mentioned. I'm still trying to remember what I liked better for a quick lunch...Ener-G or Kinnikinnick pizza crust. I wish I would have written it down. Sigh...live and learn, right? ;) This time, I'm writing EVERYTHING down.

I find new things every day and I have been at this for over two years now. Try some of these favorites:

Udi's bread and blueberry muffins

Grainless Baker French baguettes and hamburger buns (super)

Glutino pretzels

Pamela's chocolate chip cookies and anise/almond biscotti

Midel's ginger snaps (use to make a good cookie crumb pie crust, too)

Red Bridge beer

I could go on and on, but these are gluten-free staples with me. Most of what I eat is what I havew always cooked, just modified to be gluten-free. Most recipes are easy to fix.

Welcome back! I am just starting to find Glutino's and Pamela's in my area, and I am really enjoying them.

I love Glutino's Crackers. :)

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
