Food Question

Having recently diagnosed with gluten sensitivity, I began a gluten free diet 9 days ago. I have been a vegetarian for 30 years and a vegan for 7. New diet does pose somewhat of a challenge and I find that looking for baked products is difficult. So many of the products have white rice flour, potato flour, tapioca starch and other things that I have not eaten in years due to eating mostly whole grain, organic items.

Veggies and protein (soy, beans) are not much of a problem when cooking at home. I eat plently of beans and love veggies. The large problem seems to be with the baked goods. Does anyone know of any seemingly more healthy products. Since I am very new to this, I am quite sure that I simply don't know where to look.

Also what about vinegar in things. I use brown rice vinegar at home, but not sure what type of vinegar is used when we are out.

I am sure that I will have many, many questions in the coming weeks, months. Thank you for help.

Marty

You may need to bake your own gluten-free items if you're avoiding things like rice flour and tapioca starch. :-( But it's not really that hard, aside from sandwhich bread, which I haven't even attempted. ;-)

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
