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!

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
