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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      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

      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.
