Newly Dx'd Question

Due to a positive gene test on 1/19 I am now preparing to go gluten free for a period of time to see if it helps me.

I do not eat a lot of bread, so this will not be that difficult for me I don't believe. What will be my biggest problem though is pasta, and pizza dough for my occasional treat!

Does anyone know of a good brand of pasta, and/or pizza dough that is pre-made like a Boboli crust, or a mix if I have to go that way?

I figure it is easier to ask folks that have been dealing with this previously than to try umpteen different products blindly.

Also I think I read that Borden fat-free American cheese single were OK, but I would like to verify that also if possible.

May as well throw in another while I am at it!

I shop mainly at Publix since I live in Florida,......do they carry any gluten free bread?

I only use bread for my lunch sandwiches, but it's kind of a bummer eating rolled up meat and cheese with no bread.

Thanks for any input to a newbie.

do you eat processed foods? or do you eat natural foods only?

if you eat processed foods( if it comes in a box,bag or can) you may want to take a look at this link

Mainly natural foods.

I am in process of trying to clear anything that is processed per se.

Lots of meat, vegetables and fruit in my diet.

I DO use Boars Head deli meat and need to check on that as well.

A lot of folks like the Tinkyada pasta although my favorite is Thai Kitchen rice pasta (found in the oriental food aisle). Do start to check the pasta about half way through the cooking time as sometimes for me it seems to cook much faster than the box says.

I like Kinnickinnick pizza crusts at 4 to a box for about $9. Their bread is also okay in a pinch but my favorites are Udi's and Grainless Baker.

Everyone has different tastes though so my faves may not be yours.

Boar's Head is listed on my gluten free list. I buy Hormel Natural deli meats which say gluten free on the package. I was buying that before going gluten free because I can't get Boar's head here in WI. So far in my 2 1/2 month journey gluten free I've found that Tinkyada brown rice pasta is the best (of what's available to me) It tastes good and it's got a texture just like regular pasta. I like the spirals myself. Otherwise, whole, all natural foods are the way to go. I buy beef by the 1/4 from an organic farm here and it's less expensive than in the store ($2.25 a lb for everything from ground beef to porterhouse steaks!!!) I did that before as my son and I tried to go to whole foods, organic when we can a long time ago to try to get me to feel better. Who knew it was the wheat, barley and rye??? It hasn't been so hard for me seeing as we did that a few years ago already. The hard part is eating at someone else's house where you don't know if they are the boxed/packaged food users... Good Luck and hopefully it works well for you.

Thanks for the comments folks!

I replaced beef a couple of years ago with grass fed bison. It is fed no grains at all, and no hormones or anti-biotics are used as well.

My problem it seems is going to be finding bread, pasta and the like around here.

The Publix I shop at carries very little specific gluten-free products.

I make my own spaghetti sauce so that isn't an issue, and the pizza sauce I get is labelled gluten-free.

I can't seem to find any bread at all, so I am thinking of getting white corn tortillas to make wraps with for my lunch sandwiches. I think they carry those at least. I can't see ordering bread over the internet to be honest.

Soups seem to be a tough one also. Fortunately I don't care for soup much unless I make homemade vegetable soup. No more elbow macaroni in it though!

Hi Marc49.

I live in GA and buy my son's Udi's bread at our local Publix. I find it in the freezer section with a few other gluten-free items. I usually have to ask if they have any in stock because the shelf is almost always empty and they always find some for me. I have found that Publix is a good company and will probably order it for you if you ask. I have also found that some of the stores have small gluten-free sections. I have seen some Tinkyada pastas and some Glutino brand items there before. I even found a Publix brochure on gluten-free at the front of the store. The best thing to do would be to talk to someone there and ask what they have available and if they can order some items for you.

Do you have a Whole Foods store nearby? They carry a lot of gluten-free pasta and breads.

So far I've had good luck with Quinoa Pasta. Honestly I never liked wheat bread or wheat pasta but prefer the bad white flour based products. With Quinoa I cannot taste a discernable difference based on my preferences.

All I could find at Publix yesterday was some Van's gluten-free waffles, Udi's bagels, and some Mission white corn tortillas to use for Mexican and for sandwich wraps.

The big manager was off, so I will have to find out about ordering next time.

The pasta comment sounds good as I also never cared for whole wheat pasta either.

I am in process of scanning and making calls for my most commonly used items that are not whole foods per se.

I bet this was quite an ordeal years ago!

Unfortunately we do not have a Whole Foods where I live yet. I figured they would carry a lot of stuff.

I found Ancient Harvest pasta online at Amazon. It was a decent price and free shipping. I love the Van's waffles and Udi's Bagel. I think they are some of the best you will find. Hope you enjoy!

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
