Fun!

Gluten free Bisquick! Gotta have my waffles and pancakes.

If I to chose something in a package it would probably be Better Batter flour. There are very few things we eat packaged right now and with all our other restrictions it was really nice to just be able to make a normal loaf of bread.

For my daughters I think it would be peanut butter and jelly larabars.

Snickers. Ha!

It's so hard to name just one! I'll have to name a few!

Udi's Bread

Udi's chocolate chip cookies

Pamela's Baking Mix

Betty Crocker gluten-free Brownies (better than regular!)

Cool! What are the rules? Can this include intrinsically gluten-free stuff or is it pre-made gluten-free products? All the gluten-free products that come to mind are those that are already gluten-free like duck, truffles, shark, langoustines, lamb, vanilla beans, fresh herbs, lemons, pink peppercorns...

But if it is pre-made gluten-free snack stuff I would choose falafel chips with homemade hummus. I have yet to find many processed gluten-free products I like but I do like those! Cannot recall the brand and am too lazy to get up to check. And Lara bars sound fabulous! As soon as I see some somewhere I'll snatch 'em up.

Larabars without a doubt

Lara bars sound good..Wish I could have them are there any nut free ones?

For everday, I love and rely on my banana flavor protein powder from Bioplex Nutrition.

For once in awhile treats, Pamela's Gluten Free Brownie Mix. So YUMMY!

GlutenFreeManna Rising Star

Chebe and King Arthur gluten-free flour. I use both to make pizza crusts most of the time, even though I can no longer have cheese on my pizzas, these crusts are good enough to stand on their own. Sometimes I just use them to make garlicy breadsticks and dip in pizza sauce. :)

For commercial products, Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Pepper Potato Chips. 2nd place would be Dark Chocolate Nuggets with Almonds by Hershey's.

From nature, a perfectly ripened non-fibrous mango, sliced and eaten plain.

(There are different varieties of mangoes, just like there are different varities of any fruit of veg.)

Tonight I had a perfect mango. It was better than any gluten-free commercial product you could ever hope for.

You can't go wrong with Larabars! The cherry pie bar is amazing!

We also can't live without Udi's bread, Pirate's Booty, and Target Brand fruit strips. DD is now devouring grape tomatoes and string cheese. Namaste pizza crust mix is great.

"product" = packaged

Ancient Harvest Quinoa pasta (corn alert)

Marianated artichoke hearts

Roasted red peppers (yes, I buy them in a jar)

Chia Goodness "cereal" is weirdly delicious

Nutella (I'm going to make my own with coconut milk, as soon as I remember to buy hazelnuts)

food = ingredient

blueberries (I've eaten so many in the last two weeks I'm in danger of turning blue)

kale/collards

fresh herbs

apples

lentils (I opened a jar of them I hadn't opened for a while yesterday and just thought...yum! at the lovely lentil smell wafting out)

buckwheat in all shapes and forms

OLIVES

Me, neither. I scratch cook/bake daily because I love it so darned much! As I also teach cooking/baking classes I stay on top of culinary trends. My pantry is huge and full of all kinds of cool ingredients from our travels.

I, too, love ras el hanout et. al. My spice collection is exotic - I have almost 90. I try to purchase whole, dry roast them and grind them either in my spice grinder or M&P. Making my own spice and salt blends, rubs, BBQ sauces, sambals, ketchups, mustards, salsas, preserves, pestos and tons of sauces is my idea of fun. :P I would never, ever tire of food talk. Other than family, travel and food are my obsessions. Oh, and good books and gardening.

modiddly16 Enthusiast

No rules! I'm just so bored with my daily food routines, I figure if there are any new products out there or ideas that I'm not aware of, here would be the place to find it!

I love gluten-free Bisquick too!! I can't eat Udi's, it makes me sick oddly enough, no other gluten-free product does that.

I've actually trimmed mine down, as I just don't go through them fast enough and things so stale when I cook primarily for one. 90! I wish. I've been thinking I need to do more herb salts. Any suggestions? My community garden has a beautiful herb section, and I'd love to preserve more of them but have limited freezer space for my typical olive oil-herb ice cubes when it's also being stuffed full of greens and blueberries to last the winter (well, as much as will fit).

To OP: If you do the rigamarole of finding the link to my blog via my profile, there is a section on my blog called the "to-cook list." That has links to a bunch of things I'd like to make, but haven't gotten around to yet. Might be a little inspiration. (If you can't find it, PM and I'll try to make the link formatting transfer.)

My favourite herb salts to make are orange, lemon and lime with rosemary; lemon zest, pepper and oregano; sage and lemon.

You likely do this but I love to make compound herb butters to freeze. I really like garlic, chive and lemon; chili lime; sage and lemon and so on.

And to use some basil (aside from pesto) I make blueberry basil vineger and basil jelly. Not to mention apricot chile jelly, mint, lavender, etc. Sometimes I get a bit ridiculous - I currently have 27 vinegars in the pantry (most homemade). I'm a hoarder. There. I admitted it!

The chocolate flavored Chex cereal is pretty insane.

I can't find nut free one's here so if you do let me know too!!

modiddly16 Enthusiast

I haven't tried the chocolate chex yet!

Bearkat used to make this mexican rice bowl that I had for lunch like everyday. I don't think they make it anymore but I loved it!

Lara Bars all have nuts as far as I can tell, but Enjoy Life makes some good bars that are free of the top 8 allergens (including gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, all nuts, etc).

anna34 Enthusiast

kinnikinnik tapioca english muffins (taste like a "real" english muffin - mmmmmm....toasted with butter for a real treat)

I'd love to try the Bisquick. It's made in Canada, but not sold here. :blink:

My honest to goodness FAVORITE gluten free product is anything by Against the Grain.

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
