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.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
