Nutella is most definitely gluten free! And there are many donut recipes out there.

The above three would be top on my list. I'll probably never be able to have even gluten-free versions however as croissants and puff pastry depend on layers of butter and I cannot have dairy or soy. Earth Balance soy free dairy free spread is good but it doesn't chill to the extent that butter does.

Also if anyone can make a gluten-free Triscuit or Shredded wheat they are a genius. One of the few processed things I miss--mainly for the texture is Triscuits. I've looked and have not found even any regular recipes for duplicating Triscuits, let alone gluten free ones.

I miss great flaky biscuits w/gravy (can make the gravy but not the biscuits), egg noodles, condensed mushroom soup, dumplings,edible pie crusts, fried fish, hush puppies......the list can go on and on. I'm so absolutely SICK of everything I eat that I'm just about done w/food....eating a lot of salads and nutritional drinks.

Right now I'm craving Chinese food - Chicken with garlic sauce and a giant EGG ROLL!!! But that's probably because I just started taking soy out of my diet. As soon as I stop having something, my craving for that something goes into OVERdrive!! Although just thinking about it makes my face feel greasy - I always hated how I felt about 30 minutes after eating greasy chinese food. I'm hoping to bring soy back one day...because the thought of never going out for sushi again makes me cry a little.

Triscuits and the jumbo Ritz crackers were my absolute favourite snacks. Those come pretty high up on the list of things I miss.

Walnut crunch donuts from Tim Horton's, also.

LOL at the pizza bones!

I only eat pizza about twice a year. I had just perfected my own wheat homemade crust last summer.

But I find myself craving pizza

Deep dish though.

Scott, may I say BLESS YOU for your caring efforts!

Hey, USF1970.Pacific makes a condensed cream of mushroom, cr of chicken and cr of aparagus soup that are virtually twins to the canned Campbell's. I use them in casseroles all the time.

Hey, thanks for this tip--my Mom was looking for these! :)

Karen was right; even if the chef never comes back, we are seeing what people miss and pointing them towards the recipes and products.

Do a wee bit of googling and you'll find tons of recipes to make your own that are far yummier than bought! They are fun to make and even better to eat. :P

I'm not a chef but teach culinary classes and am obsessed with cooking and food. :D I can make most things gluten-free very well except for the following:

- buttery flaky croissants

- fabulous ciabatta with good chew

- phyllo and puff pastry (I miss making Beef Wellington, Steak and Ale Pie) but I do adapt

- soft puffy yeast doughnuts - I really dislike cake doughnuts

- very good chewy pretzels

- wonderful fresh pasta - my gluten-free homemade is pretty decent and to remedy lack of flavour I incorporate fresh herbs betweeen layers, spinach, butternut squash and so on.

- English muffins - have tried a few gluten-free commercial brands such as Kinnickinnik and they are deplorable!

- I can make a pretty mean pizza crust but really miss the wood-fired crusts in Europe. However, as we do have a wood-fired oven at our house in Croatia we are going to be doing a lot of practicing! Can't wait.

Currently I am perfecting buttermilk biscuits and scones.

Like you, I enjoy making Sticky Toffee Pudding and so on. I find it very easy to make gluten-free focaccia, cakes, cookies, squares, brownies and thankfully some of my favourite desserts such as creme brulee, panna cotta, semifreddo and pavlova and dacquoise are naturally gluten free.

I am a pretty picky scratch cook and tend to be a bit of a perfectionist in the kitchen. When I make fresh pasta most people are all over it; however, I cannot be satisfied until it is perfect in my mind. :)

You people need to stop talking about all this delicious food.....I WANT SOME!!!!! :D Otherwise, I shall show up at your house in Croatia for some wood fired pizza! :D

Scott......can I hire you as a chef? OMG...I love Sticky Toffee Pudding! ;)

Have you tried the Kinnikuk brand? I think they are called K-toos? My gluten eating kid likes them better than Oreos.

The Chef (the OP) has never come back to talk with us. :(

So we are just telling each other our desires, it seems. :)

I know how to make sticky toffee pudding...come to my house.

If you really want to OD on Sticky Toffee Pudding, go to IH's house and then come over to mine as I love to make it as well. Easy peasy. Just dress warmly as we are in the midst of a cold blizzard. ;)

Our winter has been the mildest ever recorded. EVER! But our mild is probably too cold for many others. Anyway, our snowfall has also been the lowest ever. Today changed that. Tonight is to get down to -27F but that is pretty normal. Doesn't mean we have to like it! :angry:

Yes. " the Chef" hasn't come back to see what we think. Probably decided he didn't really want to cook for us. :blink:

However, this thread has been fun. Some people have mentioned things they miss and others have provided a recipe or a product that would do the trick. After 2 years gluten-free, I don't really miss much old gluten foods. I miss the ease & spontaneity of going out to eat. I miss Cheezits or goldfish crackers. I have heard certain ones are good, but when I have the real thing being consumed in massive quantities by teens in my house, they just don't measure up. The sweet thing is, if I told them it bothers me, they wouldn't eat them or would keep them in the basement so I wouldn't see them.

There. That's it for me, too. :( I said that about 3 pages back myself.

No "recipe" can fix that longing, however.

We need someone to open totally dedicated fast gluten-free food joints all over the country.

I know it can be done, but I do not have that kind of money.

I will try out a recipe for gluten-free oreos. The gluten-free ones in store are $5 a bag! I do like them Ive just only bought them twice. Today I tried a doughnut recipe. What a mess! And they weren't pretty. But they tasted great!

I miss convenience--just being able to walk in some place and order whatever I want.

-Red velvet cake

-Cinnamon chip bread (Great Harvest Bakery was SO yummy)

-Random flavored pancakes from IHOP

-Fresh, warm, bread.

-Croissants

-Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

I was actually never a huge fan of pasta as a kid. I ate pasta because I really wanted extra red sauce or whatever it was. As a kid, I was extremely picky about that. Plain pasta (or dry bread for that matter) made me gag.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

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

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
