As I'm still sort of a newbie & am sensitive to cc, I wanted to run my shopping list by you before I order these items. I'm rather scared of cc having been recently cc'd by refried beans. I know you guys can spot problems with the brands if I've chosen poorly. Thank you.

If you are fairly new to the gluten free diet, this is a large order list.

I would continue to eat whole foods and add one product at at time. B)

I need to add more protein & fat to my diet. So I absolutely need the nut butters b/c I have dh & issues with iodine regarding the dh & locally I can not get any unsalted nut butters. Then I really need some rice cakes or crackers to put them on. I have chosen soy free products as well as I have problems with soy. And the flax can be used in many ways to increase not only protein but all the other good things flax imparts. Potato starch is for gravies. The coconut macaroons add fiber & they just plain sound good. And then I thought I would try making some muffins or such.

Lisa gave you some really good advice. I so wish that I had been given that advice when I started on this diet.

We are all different in our levels of sensitivity and possibly other food intolerances. You have to determine for yourself what is safe for you to eat. The best way to do it is to add one new things a week so that you can tell where any reaction is coming from. It is a bit hard at first, but you soon have enough foods.

Otherwise you can be sick and have to keep trying eliminating different things to figure out what is getting you. That isn't a nice place to be.

I have had problems with many of the things on your list, but that doesn't mean that you will.

Okay. Thank you for the advice. I know you speak from experience & only wish to prevent me from mistakes. It is appreciated.

In case it helps, I've done o.k. with buckwheat that I believe is from BRM (it was bulk -- I know, I know, stay away from the bulk bins and all that... I'm still learning!). I've also done o.k. with Lundberg farms rice cakes (unsalted, brown rice), after realizing that I may have issues with the Quaker Oats brand. I also have the BRM potato starch, seems o.k. for me. The other stuff I haven't tried.

I did find some unsalted Adams peanut butter at Winco foods, fwiw.

Thanks ciamarie! I have had some Pocono buckwheat which I've been eating for some time & haven't had any problems with it. The stuff is funny ~~~ put sugar & milk on it & it tastes like cream of wheat ~~~ put butter & salt & it tastes like grits. But those are 2 of the things that were great comfort foods for me so I'm happy about that. When I have to go low iodine it puts a crimp in eating it though. I'm very happy to learn about the Lundberg farms rice cakes! I need something to put the peanut or almond butter on. The rice cakes were lowish in the salt so that fits with my iodine issue. I did read on the board to stay away from Quaker rice cakes. I'm going to have to order the nut butters online as this town doesn't have it at the grocery store & no health food stores have survived the economy.

I have been using BRM All Purpose Baking Flour, Brown Rice Flour, & White Rice Flour since almost the beginning & haven't had any problems with them although I would prefer to find some that are produced in a gluten free facility. Better safe than sorry especially considering how long dh can hang on (3-5 weeks for me).

I found some pure coconut oil at the grocery store today. I've been reading on the board how it's a substitute for butter. YAY! And they had some Glutino Flax Seed bread. Had some with lunch (lightly toasted) & it was delicious! I've read many on the board who think it sucks so I guess it's individual tastes but I'm very excited & Glutino stuff is made in a gluten-free facility.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
