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.

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
