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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
