Do you typically use search engines, food blogs, or do you have sites you go to? I am new to Gluten-Free and was wondering if others typically searched for gluten free recipes specifically or not.

I always search online - using google. Just type in the box, e.g., gluten-free recipe for chocolate cake, and you will be amazed what comes up, including all the gluten-free bloggers. :)

It depends on what I'm cooking.

If it's pancakes, I search for gluten-free pancakes of gluten-free Buckwheat pancakes, of gluten-free Potato Pancakes...

If it's for recipes involving protein, I search for cuisine that I love, like Thai, Vietnamese or Indian.

If I just returned from the farmers market with beets, I just search beet recipes. Going gluten-free has opened up a world of cooking. I'm glad I don't cook like my mother and grandmother, even though they were great cooks. It has been a lot of fun experimenting, and we've found many new ways to cook and season food that I never would have dreamed of.

Oops, I have a few typos on my post. Hit the "f" vs the "r" for "or" vs. "of". Sorry.

Welcome...

There are some great recipes under the recipe section here on celiac.com. If you are looking for something special just google the recipe name.. You can spend days researching gluten-free recipes...

I'm guessing you are from Pittsburgh??? Just wanted to let you know that this coming Saturday from 10-2 there will be an open house at the gluten free oven bakery in Mt Pleasant, Pa. Open to everyone... Samples will be available. Very nice gluten-free bakery. I will be there to assist newbies & to answer gluten-free food questions....

hope to see you there.... blessings

I just use google. Doesn't always work and I will sometimes get recipes that don't apply.

Searching the archives of gluten-free blogs is helpful, especially for baked goods recipes. A couple to check out are:

And the 'links' or 'blogroll' page on either of those sites list other gluten-free blogs.

I google _____ gluten free. But I also ask here if I can't find what I want. It's actually pretty easy for me to find gluten-free recipes. I have a harder time finding recipes that are gluten-free, Dairy free, soy free without any shellfish, pork or mushrooms....Although the last three can usually be left out or switched for chicken or beef. The first three are hard.

I have a few favorite websites that I check if I want to find gluten-free recipes (just search for gluten-free xxxx and you'll usually find several recipes:

And, of course, your regular ol' cookbooks have a lot of recipes that are naturally gluten-free or can be made that way with a few simple substitutions.

Vegout,

Hi. Here's the link to lots of gluten-free blogs. They all probably have recipes. Just click on the letter at the bottom to move to the other letters of the alphabet:

Thanks! This directory is just what I've been looking for. I find that a lot of the big recipe sites have little to offer when searching for "gluten free____"

Don't forget your old cook books. A great many of those recipes (except for baking) are already gluten free or can be made that way easily (thicken with gluten-free flour, be sure ingredients are gluten-free etc.) We still eat most of the things we did pre-celiac.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
