Ever since I stopped enjoying all the easy super unhealthy gluten products I turned to healthy alternatives, and recently been trying this Natura strawberry soymilk, and Dayum, it is delicious lol

but without celiac I never would have tried it.

You discover anything strange that turned out to be delicious?

ingrediants or recipes or products you wouldn't have tried without celiac disease?

watch the sugar is flavored soymilk, if you care.

I really really really love fennel. I also adore buckwheat, which I hadn't really eaten before. Otherwise, it's reinforced my love of lentils.

I've only been gluten free for just under a week, but I think I'm going to try avocados again. Years ago I got really sick of them after hurricane Charlie came through because the next day I came home with 5 bags of them (I rode out the storm with my husbands relatives). I thought I never wanted another one again. But they came on a salad that I ordered the other day, and I really enjoyed them! I wished there had been more. I think I'll pick some up the next time I go to the store... B)

Rice cakes :)

I never felt the need to try them. I always loved bread. But now I really like rice cakes. I use them in place of bread. Like today, for lunch I had rice cakes with peanut butter and banana on top.

Rice in general, really. I never ate a lot of rice but now I am eating it a lot.

Various flours such as coconut, almond, teff, garfava, millet, sorghum, etc. There are 18 flours in my freezer, all of which I use for baking. It is fun to see how different flours react/act in baking.

Whilst I've always liked pulses, there are now more in our diet now including cranberry beans, all sorts of lentils, more chickpeas than before, desi, pulse purees for baking (i.e. bean puree in meatloaf, garfava flour in crepes, black bean flour in brownies, white bean flour in biscotti)...the list goes on and on.

Tapioca flour pizza crust (there is a brand called Chebe that is tapioca based and wonderful but I have also made my own version of it several times for a quick crust or breadsticks). If you had asked me two years ago what tapioca was I probably would have said- "a gross pudding flavor" LOL! :blink::lol:

Hummus. Using hummus on a sandwich to add protein and in place of mayo to hold the sandwich or roll together (egg free diet)

Cranberry sauce on sandwiches too. Making a lot of lettuce wraps, the crisp crunch is nicer than bread any day.

Oh yea, BACON. Really went through a bacon phase. Grilling vegetables.

I have also bought a lot of the famous recipes of restaurants knock-off cookbooks. I convert them to gluten free and don't have to risk eating.

oh hey that sounds pretty delicious, grilling veggies, I thought bacon was a no no, bacon and grilled veggies and ..perhaps some hummus would certainly be different =o

Quinoa! I used to eat couscous, and then when I had to switch gluten free I started substituting quinoa in the recipes where I used to use couscous. And I discovered that I liked quinoa a lot better. I also like it for breakfast - I cook it in water, and then add milk, yogurt, cinnamon and raisins. Yum!

Canyon Bakehouse San Juan 7-Grain gluten free bread. I always liked all of those multi-grain breads with all of the little nutty things in them, but I couldn't eat them because they gave me terrible heartburn. Now I have found one I can eat, and to me it's better than any dessert. YUM!

Hmmmm, this could be a long list for me, but I'll list breakfast foods as that was the hardest meal for me when I went Gluten-free (and corn-free). So I'd say buckwheat, cinnamon rice chex, teff pancakes, and Rudi's cinnamon raisin bread, any of which can be accompanied by almond milk. :) But my biggest discovery is green smoothies. I love them and they have really helped me keep my nutrition levels up.

I found these amazing Buckwheat Crispbreads by accident in an Organic Food Market, they may not be available over there, but if you do see them you gotta try 'em.

Sweet potatoes and okra. Fennel too. I'd had all these before but find I like them a lot more now. And use them in cooking quite a bit.

Quinoa for breakfast, lunch and dinner... so many applications! Also juiced beetroot with pineapple and lemon... mmmmm.

I was always a pretty equal opportunity eater so there's nothing too new though.

Grilled shrimp and spinach cooked in a 3 egg omlette with shredded American cheese. Interesting but good.

I thought I wouldn't survive going gluten-free over 3 years ago. Now I see it as a blessing, I now have such a wide variety of fruit, veggies and food to choose from. If I hadn't been diagnosed with celiac I would still be eating unhealthy.

I love so many different foods now that I would never have touched before. I know that I am addicted to peanut butter and have been since I was sick from eating wheat.

Risotto - Pretty easy to make, and it is so dimentional in terms of flavors. You can add just about anything for flavor. One of my favorites is portobello and parmesan cheese. I've also tried a red wine and peas, and asparagus. It can take a little work to make, but it's well worth it.

I so agree. Risotto sounds difficult to some but it is incredibly simple to make! We have risotto often. One of my favorites is roasted butternut squash with crispy sage and mascarpone. Have you tried chocolate risotto?

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
