What Would You Like To See For Products?

Are there any gluten-free products that you would like some company to come up with? I would just love to find a really good instant oatmeal. In the beginning, when I first went gluten free, I found one that I liked a lot. It was made by Brookfield Valley and was a very tasty apple cinnamon flavor. I ate it every day, but was seeing no relief in some symptoms. Then I came here and discovered how long the process takes AND all about the processed gluten-free foods and that they contain other things that we may be sensitive to. I checked the pkg of oatmeal and it has soy flour. So I stopped eating it and began to see improvement in certain issues. I tried another instant oatmeal (I think it was Glutenfreeda), but that caused bloating. It has flax meal. Why can't someone come up with a gluten-free instant oatmeal that is just oatmeal and some flavorings, like the Quaker? *sigh* Doesn't seem like that would be so awfully hard. I know that I could probably cook up some gluten-free oats and add my own raisins or whatever, but I don't always have time for that. Some days I just want to pop something in the microwave! :)

By the way, I love this site......I have found out SO much useful info.

You know, some Celiacs just can't tolerate even gluten-free oats. No matter how meticulous the company is, it will still make them sick.

(Psst, I'm a Mainer too. :))

my dream product would be a mayo that was gluten/soy/corn(corn syrup)/egg/nightshade(paprika) free ,,, not to much to ask for right :lol:

A really good chocolate croissant. I didn't eat them that often, but there's nothing quite like one.

Have you tried finely cut kasha? It cooks in two or three minutes in the microwave or in an hour or so if you put it in a thermos with boiling water.

Well, egg-free is a bit much to ask for, but look what I just found here in New Zealand - Alfa One Real Mayonnaise with the following ingredients:

Rice bran oil, Egg (reconstituted yolk and whole egg), lemon juice, Salt, Vinegar (derived from milk)!! sugar, mustard, antioxidant.

Made by Hansells. And no, I haven't tried it yet But no canola oil!! no distilled (or malt!!!) vinegar, no paprika or corn syrup or soy. Probably tastes absolutely awful :lol:

Heck, I'd settle for the croissant (with no soy or potato starch) - forget about the chocolate; I get that fix in other ways.

My daughter and I, both celiac, love Glutenfreeda instant oatmeal and neither of us react to that like we have to others.

What I would love a company to perfect and release is gluten/corn/soy/dairy free toaster pastries. You know, like Pop Tarts. I know they aren't a "health food" but when I want something fast and warm before racing out the door, or something to throw into my purse or carry-on when traveling, Pop Tarts was always it. 6 1/2 years ago, that option was ripped away.

Phyllo dough, I really miss apple turnovers, spanakopita and baklava and pita bread with pockets so I can make the meat pies I used to make at the restaurant I worked at for years. (Sigh)

rosetapper23 Explorer

The Phyllo dough, croissants, and mayo without all the junk would ALL be great! I crave all three!! However, the croissants might win out....how I miss them....

I would *Love* to see a refrigerated gluten free dough that could be formed into biscuits, crescents, or cinnamon rolls...like Pilsbury has now :) I so miss the convenience of popping those biscuits into the oven without making a mix!

One of my client's are working on this (even a scone). We are having some issues with them rising correctly, but that's what food scientists are for.

Stay tuned, we may have something by the 3rd quarter of this year.

That would be awesome!

I agree with the Poptarts. I have been thinking that for awhile...I miss those! I also really miss crossaints. The refridgerated dough would also be nice. You all have such good ideas!

Man, if only Lea and Perrins Worcestershire was gluten-free in Canada! We have to get family to bring it back from the U.S. for us. WS is difficult to replicate. Same with some awesome soy sauce, kecap manis, ponzu, and so on. A yummy filling breakfast cereal would be nice, too. We do not get Chex in Canada, for example. I also hear that Betty Crocker has come out with some gluten-free cake mixes; alas, not here, either! Hopefully soon. Oh, well. I always have done my own scratch baking so will continue to do so.

Has anyone used the re-usable toaster bags you pop into the toaster or toaster oven to prevent CC? They are very cool and innovative.

Have you tried Follow Your Heart's Vegenaise? I know it's eggless (they're vegan and gluten-free). Not sure about the corn/soy though..... their site is www.followyourheart.com if you want to check it out. They do some great cheese, sour cream, dressings, etc. I've been eating their products for the last year and really like them.

Thanks for the info :) but unfortunately they do contain soy.

I guess I will just have to learn to live with out mayo <_< I know it is kind of silly but out of all the foods I cant eat, the loss of mayo bothers me the most :ph34r:

The only thing I really miss is Triscuits and Shredded Wheat. I haven't found any gluten-free products with a similar texture and when I looked up how they make shredded wheat products I realized it would be pretty much impossible to make at home out of gluten-free grains. Maybe some company though could come up with a process to dry and "shred" brown rice into a similar texture. It's just a texture thing I miss and not really the flavor.

If you are really missing pop tarts you can try makign them: Open Original Shared Link

I'm not sure where you live but there's a huge natural products expo next month in Anaheim, CA. Hundreds of gluten-free companies go, maybe you'd have some luck there. If you come look for me, I'll be at the Wild Veggie booth.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
