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. :)

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
