Without Gluten And Rice, Where Do I Spread?

Hi All!

I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance about 6 months ago, and I have been gluten free ever since. My symptoms definitely improved when I stopped eating gluten, but did not disappear totally. I just recently figured out that most types of rice give me similar symptoms. I basically can only eat long grain white rice. Basmati or Jasmine rice bother me, as well as all sorts of rice flours or rice cakes.

I am kind of happy I now know what to avoid, but I really love jelly and chocolate spreads for breakfast, and I have no idea where to spread them now. Any suggestions? Do you know of any crackers or something like that made without gluten and without rice flours? This morning I tried spreading chocolate on a corn tortilla and it was pretty good, but I am sure there must be better options :)

Also, on a totally different note, I have been noticing that I have a hard time digesting asparagus. Anybody else?

Thanks a lot for your inputs!

Sara

There are corn " rice cakes". They are by Real Foods and called Corn Thins. I have found them in regular groceries with the rice cakes. Also, apples make a good base for lots of speads. If you cook, I have seen recipes for gluten-free crepes.

I gave up spreading and went to dipping -- fruit into chocolate. also into jellies we make.

Even with some veggies like JIcama -- jelly spread on that is really good.

I am gluten/corn/dairy free and love Open Original Shared Link. It's a dry mix made w/tapicoa flour. I believe the Original version has dairy (cheese) which is closer to the chebe bread common in brazil. The pizza, all-purpose and cinnamon "bun" bread are free of my food sensitivities and have always turned out well.

Ingredients: Manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch (100% manioc), iodine-free sea salt, cream of tartar, sodium bicarbonate.

FREE OF: gluten, wheat, lactose, casein, yeast, soy, corn, rice, potato, peanuts, tree-nuts, and MSG. Made in a gluten-free dedicated facility.

I buy it at a grocery store in my city - however, it's not easy to find here and only in a couple places. Whole Foods won't carry it in my region. I can't see any ingredients that WF would snub but maybe it's another issue..

Isn't it frustrating being so limited? After going gluten-free last year I was still having stomach/digestive issues, but not as bad as when I would accidentally have gluten. A few months ago I had allergy tests once again & it showed that I was allergic to tons of foods. Now I pay more attention to how I feel after eating certain things & most everything on the "allergic" side of the fence makes me have issues. Basically right now my safe foods are corn, potatoes, peas, mushrooms, beef & turkey. That doesn't leave a lot of room for variety.

I hope you find some foods that you like and that like you soon.

I would second the corn thins, they are pretty tasty. Not quite sure what else, I have recently cut out rice too, and haven't looked in to replacing it for snack yet. I'll let you know if I have any great ideas :)

Just fyi, asparagus is pretty high in fructans, which can upset some people. If it's just that, it may be specific to the food. If you are also upset by onions and leeks, it might be worth looking in to fructose and fructans.

You could make some corn bread or corn cakes (corn bread pancakes). Or try to find a gluten-free/Rice free pancake mix. Most pancakes recipes are pretty easy and can be made up in advance and frozen. So then you could just pull them out, heat up and spread with whatever you want.

Sometimes I make peanut butter and jelly roll-ups with corn tortillas, but they usually break apart no matter how I warm or don't warm the tortillas. Slightly better is a fried peanut butter and jelly between two corn tortillas (fry it like you would a quesadilla).

Here's a banana bread recipe that doesn't use rice flour: Open Original Shared Link

The rice flour in many gluten-free recipes can be replaced with sorghum and/or other flours. Buckwheat works nicely for pancakes. Gluten-Free crackers are easy to make, and can turn out well with numerous types of flours.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
