What Do You Miss The Most?

Hello Everyone,

I have tested positive on a home Biocard Test and am having a lab test next week. I figure regardless of my blood work results I will be going Gluten Free. Since I have to stay on gluten until all the tests are complete, I might as well treat myself to everything I won't be able to eat after I cut out the gluten.

Is there anything that really doesn't have a comparable gluten free version?

I am just getting a bit nervous I guess.

Thanks!

Phyllo dough as in spanikopitas and such. Get your fill of good flaky pastry. Enjoy a last croissant or two because while there are subs they do not have that buttery deliciousness. Sourdough french bread - chow down on a loaf of that. Those are the things I wish I could still eat :rolleyes:

I still miss crusty bread and nobake cookies(aka novacks) but I'm also severely gluten free oat intolerant.

1. Beer. gluten-free beer is ok, but I was a beer snob before and the fact that I can't have a Brewster's stout or two this winter is really disappointing.

2. My grandmother's recipe for sweet dough cinnamon buns. They were absolutely amazing, and it makes me a bit sad I'll never taste her recipe again. I'll miss this the most.

3. Perogies... but I know a good celiac Ukranian who has a gluten-free recipe so I might try it this fall.

4. Convenience. I think I notice this one the most. I can't order a cookie with my coffee, or even some flavoured coffees. Timbits are out. I miss not having to worry about packing gluten-free snacks if I'm running errands with the kids; it was so much easier to order a pizza if running late or buy a burger with fries. Making gluten-free chicken nuggets for my kids is definitely more of a hassle that opening a frozen box up... I'm slowly getting used to not relying on convenience foods but that is the thing, for me, that is the hardest to adjust to.

You need to do a search on here for J.N. Bunnie's cinnamon buns. I haven't made them yet but they look (and others have said) they are to die for :D

Okay, here ya go:

I did the search for you. :)

Aw... thanks Neroli! :D I've printed it off and I'll give it a try. :) That was nice of you to do.

... And Company's Coming Gluten Free Cookbook has a yummy looking recipe and starter for sourdough. I'm afraid I don't have the recipe but the picture made my mouth water.

I really miss Angle Food Cake and every thing you can do with it. :huh:

Glazed Old Fashioned Donut - forgot to have one in the days before going gluten-free - coulda, shoulda - didn't.

Flaky, buttery Croissant --- Ohhhhh

FRESH bread, French or Sourdough - warm with butter --- Ahhhhh

It really is a rare occasion for me to miss any gluten item, but I frequently wish for the ability to go to a restaurant and try whatever their specialty is.

Rye bread. How I miss a hot delicious loaf of rye! And obviously, there is no gluten-free sub for that!

Oh no! I think I will be gaining a few pounds in the next couple of weeks!

I did not even think of the rye bread...

I wonder if my mom could ( and would) make her German Christmas Stollen with a different flour.

Are any gluten-free beers any good?

No gluten in red wine, right? RIGHT?!

GottaSki Mentor

Red wine is gluten free - and regularly confirmed as such :D

Krispy Kreme donuts, especially the cream filled bismarcks, deep dish pizza, Mcdonalds cheeseburgers on the fly, artisan breads with butter, biscotti ordered with my coffee, breadsticks from Olive Garden, white wedding cake, Entemens cream cheese coffee cake, Fancy chocolates from chocolate speciality stores, going to fancy bakeries and eating my body weight in scrumptious baked goodies. Oh must I go on....... I'm not quite 3 years out, so I am still fairly new and fairly whiney..

...and just when I finally settled into being gluten free and fairly OK with it, I had to give up dairy and am lost again.....It's been 2 months and I am still adjusting...and starving a lot.

MitziG and Neroli, there is an old post on microwaveable buns that had a recipe for "Rye Buns". I haven't tried it yet but it is here (go to page 7) :

This is what it said:

  Quote
Rye bun

1 egg

1 tsp molasses

2 tbsp almond meal

2 tbsp golden flax meal

1 tbsp brown rice flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

shake of salt

1/2 tsp caraway seed

Make like the original, mixing the egg with the molasses until well beaten, stirring in rest of ingredients until well mixed, and microwaving for 90 seconds. Then turn out of dish and let cool, slice into 4 rounds and make 2 sandwiches.

Yummy RYE BREAD in 2 minutes!!

I make their basic microwave buns all the time for my boys, I just substitute out the almond meal and add 3/4 tbs coconut flour, plus we skip the cocoa and add cinnamon (in the original recipe). My boys love it.

LOL at Lisa!

Greens is a nice beer, but expensive. Estrella Drauma (sp?) claims to be gluten-free to 3ppm but it is started from barley and it made me react quite badly; others do better with it. I haven't tried any other brands... I'm a beer snob but I only had a dozen beers a year at the most... Alas, all that wasted possible beer drinking time. :rolleyes::P LOL

WHAT?!?!?!?! I don't think you are looking in the right places, in fact there are a lot of high end beers available gluten free. Most premium breweries have at least 1 good gluten free beer but they are hard to find in Canada. If I have celiacs I am going to be ordering premium beers in bulk online, they are available everywhere. If I get diagnosed I am going to be drunk for the next month finding which brand appeals to me ;).

nvsmom Community Regular

No no no! LOL I have yet to find a really good substitute for Brewsters stout... or Guinness? Forget about it! LOL

It could be because I am in Canada that they are harder to find, but that's hard for a Canadian beer snob to admit since (ahem) I don't really like American beer. :P ... Don't hurt me! lol

Greens is good but it still tastes like the homebrews we used to make back in university... I dunno. :huh:

I live in Ontario, so my stores are limited to the LCBO and Beer store. The beer store only has 1 gluten free brand and the LCBO has 5, however if you are willing to order online there are some really praised gluten free beers that non celiacs drink for the taste. Will give you a few good ones once I know. Also smirnoff ice is gluten free too.

I'd also love information on gluten free beer. I was so looking forward to stout season...

      All I can say is this site is great!
    • Scott Adams
      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
