Do You Find You Miss Food You Barely Even Ate?

I was just reading through some of the responses to "Do you ever miss the stupid things." and one of the last ones really kinda made me chuckle because it is also one of the things that for some reason I suddenly miss, yet I never really ate. Corn Dogs.

I think I've probably had a corn dog once in my entire life, but I can't tell you how much I've thought about them in the last couple of weeks.

Does anyone have this?

That is actually what I meant when I started the topic "Do You Ever Miss the Stupid Things?"

I didn't mean for it to be a depressing topic about our favorite foods that we can no longer eat! In my original post I said that I was "mourning" the fact that I couldn't eat those Little Debbie X-mas tree snack cakes - the ones with waxy chocolate that isn't even that good! And jelly donuts - which I ate MAYBE once a year. Truthfully, there are MANY gluten-free foods that are much better than these 2 things - but the mind is a powerful thing, and because I KNOW I can't have them, that makes me want them even more!

Well that's my theory on it. But yes, Jillian, I definitely relate :rolleyes:

Nad,

Hebrew National Hot Dogs are gluten-free.

I think Ball Park and Oscar Meyer are also gluten-free....

Right now, all i want is a Pop Tart. I maybe ate them once or twice a year before now, but that is all I want. And i dont just want one flavor, its like I want to have one of every flavor they have ever made them in.

So strange

Nope I don't miss things that I hardly every ate (or didn't eat), I'm assuming because if I didn't eat them often I didn't really like them. I miss the things I use to eat all the time, pizza is number one and I've tried every gluten-free pizza crust I can get my hands on and they just aren't right. Believe it or not, I'd rather do without, but I sure do miss it.

The thing I miss at this time of year is Thumbprint cookies and shortbread cookies. They were my favorites, but I will live without them.

I have been craving corn dogs lately too.. and I rarely ate them before going gluten-free! Also Chinese spring rolls.. although I did eat those a lot.

You can make spring rolls out of rice paper, if you want to give it a try. Raw ones out of rice paper can be tasty as well, but you can also bake or fry them. I've found rice paper at asian markets, though do check the ingredients as there's a version that has wheat flour.

I second the poptarts - mmmmm, strawberry with icing. I ate them maybe 1x every few years, but now I miss them :( The homemade gluten-free pies I make every so often do help though...... but can never be exactly the same.

Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I only ever had it about 3 times a year, but when I see the commercials on TV and they show those succulent looking chicken sandwiches, I about come undone. Interestingly, the day of my dx, my GI pretty much said to me "have whatever you want for dinner tonight, then tomorrow it's gluten-free". Had to think awhile what I wanted, but ended up with some good old K-fry! Just the smell of it makes me crazy...........

The Kinnikinnick pizza crusts are just like the real thing, and I'm not a fan of their breads, so I was wary. The pizza crusts are worth the high price.

Well, I missed mostly foods I wanted to eat (pizza) or _did_ eat all the time (NY bagels)....

I guess in general, I took for granted that if you go somewhere and they have cookies out or the like, I could just eat what I wanted-- and now everthing has to be planned with little variety.

someone mentioned poptarts...i loved toasted chocolate poptarts with butter. i miss pizza and calzones (extra sauce please), and bagels more than most any foods i can think of. have found some substitute foods that get me by, but it's just not the same!

For some reason I really miss cookies alot. I wasnt a big cookie eater when I COULD have them but now I want them badly. I think about fig newtons, oreos, nutter butters, pepperidge farm cookies (the chocolate mint ones) and on and on....

      starting to heal, vitamin d deficiant but cannot tolerate vitamins. what to do? also multiple ongoing issues.

      By kopiq · Posted

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result in false negatives in other IGA tests. The tTG-IGA is the single most popular test ordered by physicians. The Quest test is not a complete celiac panel by any means (refer to the linked article above) but it might be a good place to start. Personally, I think you know enough to conclude that you need to get serious about avoiding gluten, whether you have celiac disease or NCGS. Human nature being what it is, however, many people seem to need an official diagnosis of celiac disease in order to stay on the bandwagon. Otherwise, they seem to rationalize cheating on the gluten-free diet. And there is this misconception out there that NCGS is inconvenient and uncomfortable but not harmful so it's okay to cheat. The more we learn about gluten-related disorders the more they seem to not fit into our neat little black and white categories. By the way, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty.  Really good reminder about omega 6.  I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it.  To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters.  I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test.  Two questions: 1-  Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy).  I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread.  However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions.  I'll eat breaded calamari.  When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much.  I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?",  I always said yes.  Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test?  Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge.  Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again!

      For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable.  I'm on 5 meds per day.  Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm gone for a few days.
