Ya know, I've spent a small fortune in "Gluten Free" cookbooks in the past couple years, only to learn the fact that most any "cooking" (meaning lunch or supper) recipe can be converted to gluten free just by making sure your ingredients are gluten free (unless you are making something with dough). For instance, I was looking up the recipe for Jambaylaya. In my taste of home cookbook, which I love dearly, it shows me how to make it. In my "gluten free" cookbook, it is almost the same exact recipe with only the words 'gluten free' soup broth, or 'gluten free' pasta, or gluten free tomato sauce.

So truthfully, I don't know what all the fuss is about cooking! They are making a small fortune on those of us that think we need a whole new

Now baking, that is a different story!!

That's true! And if you're like me, you hardly ever follow a recipe without making changes to it anyway :D

Thanks for that advice. I was headed to Ebay to order some cookbooks but what you said makes perfect sense.

hi ,

I too am pretty new to this gluten-free cooking I was diagnosed in may after biopsy was positive.

I have cooked for years but didnt trust my instincts and went out and bought several new books on cooking gluten-free. MOst were a hugh dissappointment.

I took and found that sites that post gluten-free recipes was my best source for converting my tried and true recipes. Once I found a mixture of flours I liked ,and started using, I found I was very happy and it just gets easier to convert now.

I also found that the best cookbooks are my older ones with many basic recipes . many even use potato flour or whole sections on diffrent crusts I never even thought of gluten-free . using nuts or coconut.

anyway my point , sorry tend to ramble,lol dont waste your money, check out some of the recipes right here and on other gluten-free sites.

One recipe I found for pumpkin bread gluten-free I just changesd the spices I had always used in mine, put my preference of flours and it was amazing. My husband said he thought it was better,lol.

good luck :D

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
