Gorton's Fish Sticks! And thick pizza crust . . . just the crust, forget the stuff on top. And fresh-baked garlic knots with gobs of garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese drowning them. And some Popeye's fried chicken. Also gravy biscuits, bagels, real egg noodles, Campbell's canned condensed soups . . . see, I'm not picky! :P Oh my, I guess just about anything I used to eat would be so welcome. *sigh*

Are you anywhere near a Five Guys restaurant? They only do fries in their fryers so those are safe, and you could bring your own bun and have them make you a bunless cheeseburger. In fact, now I'm wanting a burger and fries and a Five Guys trip is sounding like a good idea. :D

Yeah, but I'm craving a *real* one where I don't have to do any work :lol:

Oh, gee, I wish you hadn't said Popeye's chicken. Especially the spicy. Now I'm really craving. I'll have to see what I can do with a raw chicken, some gluten-free flour and Chechere's Cajun seasoning.

Baguette from this local baker just across the river from where I work with (real!) butter - preferably Kerrygold butter...

Absolutely nothing. Compared to my other 6 allergens, abstaining from gluten was a breeze. However, I like how all those restrictions simplify my choices and greatly improve the quality (healthwise) of my diet.

most definitely, I would love a nice bottle of beer! That's about all I really miss. The gluten free beer here in Canada is just way too expensive :(

Just going out to a restaurant and not having to request a special diet need. Maybe a bowl of pasta, that sounds good about now.

The only thing I really miss is phyllo wrapped around some apples, some baklava or spanikopita. Oh and these wonder meat and cinnamon pies I used to make with pita bread.

It's not chicken parm and Fettuccine Alfredo, but Olive Garden has a gluten free menu with gluten free pasta on it.

Has anyone tried it out? I miss pasta the most! LOVE pasta!!! :P

hahah, thank you. I've heard the pasta is a microwaveable pre-made meal though and is NOT very tasty. When I first heard about it I was all excited but I'll pass because I can make that at home ;)

Now, the herb grilled salmon with broccoli and peppers on the side is really good. That's what I get when we go. It's my new favorite :D

Good to know, thanks. I haven't tried the gluten-free pasta at Olive Garden, I just know they have it. I have had their mixed grill (chicken medallion with veggies and steamed broccoli) and it was okay but very bland. I really love their salad. I just wish they had a gluten-free soup, I would go for just soup and salad.

Is the salad ad Olive Garden gluten-free?

Is the salad ad Olive Garden gluten-free?

Yes, if the croutons are left off. I've only eaten there once since going gluten-free- it wasn't ever my favorite restaurant pre-gluten-free- and quite frankly, it was the best meal I'd ever had at the Olive Garden (the Mixed Grill plate on the gluten-free menu was delicious). Our waiter was very attentive and careful and brought out a separate plate of croutons so that those who could eat them could put them on their own plates without me even asking him to do it.

Like WheatChef I really miss the BIG doughy Pretzels especially when I'm at the Rockies game and seeing people eat them all around me (won't have to experience this anymore until next year since they are done).

French bread dipped into my yummy garlic oil. Udi's helps but not the same

My old gluteny home made pizza dough recipe. After many fails at trying to make it with gluten free flours I've given up and buy kinnicks or the local gluten-free bakery ones.

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS.

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
