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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
