Suggestions anyone?

I don't cook, so making my own is not a good idea!

Thanks,

Jenn

We need to get you cooking! ;) Actually, I've been going through the same thing, and I don't miss much, to be honest. I know you said you don't cook, BUT...there might be an easy baking solution. Hungry Girl has a low cal onion ring recipe using Fiber One crumbs, but you could use Glutino breadcrumbs (or probably any other ones out there). If you followed her recipe but got rid of the gluten, that might give you at least something similar. Open Original Shared Link Couldn't hurt to check it out, and it looks super easy. If you look around on her site, she has several other recipes for them as well.

Supposedly Trader Joe's carries some gluten-free baked onion rings if you have one nearby,.....I do not.

Here is a decent looking recipe in case you change your mind. Personally you are going to have to start cooking some unless you plan on going without a number of things. Also the prepared gluten-free items are quite expensive.

Baking onion rings is very easy, it's true! :) Just be sure to season the flour very well prior to baking because some recipes exclude seasoning. You don't want bland rings! Some good seasonings include Smoked Paprika, Cayenne, Herbes de Provence and so on. Plus I love to sprinkle mine as soon as they are out of the oven with crunchy coarse sea salt.

Hey Love2travel?

This sounds great! I have silly questions. Do you use any oil? on the pan? In the batter? And what temp would you bake them? High 400 or normal 350? I have never thought of this. If it really works, heck we could be doing this with our other veggies too. Like now I'm thinking about mushrooms, cauliflower...yum. I stopped frying ya know due to the digestion thing, but I love breaded cauliflower and miss it bad!

Any help might get me and the OP cooking! Thanks!

Without cooking it's going to be difficult to get gluten-free onion rings. I'm sure they exist somewhere but they will be pricey and hard to find.

You could eat some Funyuns to see if that helps with your craving. Last I read they were gltuen free, but do double check that as ingredient can change.

Chop some large slices of onions and dredge them in Pamela's Pancake Mix - Batter and deep fry. Take them out to drain on a paper towel and lightly salt.

....pretty darn close!! :D

Let us know how it turns out! I have done something similar to make oven fried chicken gluten free and it was great--couldn't even tell it was gluten free.

So funny you should mention that--we just had oven fried chicken tonight for dinner. :D The onion rings shouldn't be much different.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?

      are these gluten free, I know that they don't devote space and there could be cross contamination but can they be eaten by celiac person?
