I wanted to create a list of foods that I have had since being gluten free that have made me happy and made me realise that I don't have miss out on foods just because I can't eat gluten anymore. I would love everyone to share their lists too.

Chocolate Brownies

Choc Chip cookies

Orange Almond cake

Friands

Carrot Cake

Zucchini Pancakes

French bread

Raisin Bread

Pizza

Gnocchi with Basil Pesto

Pasta with a thick tomato and vegetable sauce and lots of parmesan

Rissotto - seafood, mushroom, pumpkin, spinach, roasted capsicum, chicken

Hamburgers/Vegie burgers with oven baked potato wedges

Fried Rice

Tagines with Quinoa instead of couscous

Hot cross buns

Christmas pudding

Fruit and custard filled danishes

Smoked tuna on cornthins

Satay with brown rice

there is so much more, and a world of gluten free food that I have not yet got to try :)

If I listed everything that brought glee, joy and happy tears to my eyes once I finally found them it would take too long. So I will list the three places in Calgary that have brought me joy and giddy happiness:

The Gluten Free Store (a.k.a the OH YES I CAN! store)

gluten-free Patisserie (all gluten free and better than gluten goods)

The Milk Tiger Lounge (the menu and kitchen are entirely gluten free as the owner revamped the whole place- he is anaphylactic with gluten and thus gluten free status is guaranteed)

And thus with the combination of these three things I have been quite happy with my diet and going out to eat options.

I like this thread! I basically eat the same types of food as I did before going gluten-free, just with a few adjustments, so a lot of these have made me happy for a long time. :) Definitely a few new additions, though.

Flourless chocolate cake!

Home made gluten-free buckwheat bread with pumpkinseed butter and dried cranberries

Dark chocolate

Almond butter

Home made gluten-free chocolate chip cookies

Shrimp with cocktail sauce

Salmon with capers

Rice with gluten free soy sauce and avocado

Almond milk

Lara Bars

Cashews

Sweet potato french fries

All fruit

Steamed snow peas

Blanched brussels sprouts and asparagus

Duck

Ice cream with coconut milk

Cinnamon Chex

Jasmine green tea

And amazing gluten free restaurants in NYC

I also second Elana's Pantry Gluten Free Bread 2.0 :)

Far too many to list - it would be literally hundreds. I've always been passionate about food and since going gluten-free that passion and crative cooking has not changed. Foods that make me happiest are naturally gluten-free and fairly exotic. I have a very adventurous palate and enjoy ethnic cooking such as Indian, Syrian, Ethiopian, Lebanese, British, French, Croatian, Italian, Thai, Korean, Turkish and so on. Some things I enjoy cooking most are lamb, pheasant, venison, quail; truffles (especially white); making my own condiments, vinaigrettes, brines, marinades, rubs, salt blends, preserves and vanillas; foie gras terrine; chanterlle and morel risotto; mashed potatoes with cream and browned butter and roasted garlic; goat cheese and spinach souffle; seared scallops with pomegranate molasses and minted pea puree; grilled stuffed squid bodies and tentacles; vanilla butter poached lobster... the more difficult recipes using rare ingredients are what appeal to me most. I love making my own ricotta and creme fraiche. See? Told you the list would be long (and this is just the beginning).

Food generally makes me smile.

Omg, I wish I lived in Calgary! lol... Even though I live in a large metropolitan area (Northern VA/Washington DC) to my knowledge we have no exclusively gluten free bakeries or anything. Lots of options to buy gluten free things, but nothing that's 100%.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
