Gluten Free Food Alternative List 2019 Q1

[Ennis-TX]

Updated list here new links, and composed in a more organized manner LOOK for * on links and you can order from them directly, at the bottom are some websites to purchase from
NOTE these are alternative foods, in many cases WHOLE foods of 1 ingredient are your best friend with the gluten free diet and cooking in your own home. I made this list to make the transition simpler for many, give treat options, and show safe brands for certain foods that many have used. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK LABELS AND INGREDIENTS they are subject to change, and some companies make BOTH a gluten free and a gluten version of a product MAKE SURE your getting the right one.

Full Meal Options/Entrees, broad spectrum companies
http://iansnaturalfoods.com/allergy-friendly-products/search-by-allergens/?tax_products_tags[]=gluten-free&wpas=1
^Ians gluten-free options you will find sides, baked/fried snacks, onion rings, chicken strips, cheese sticks, fish sticks, pizza bread. etc from them that are good subs you can find where to buy them or even have your local grocer stock them on request. Best thing about Ians is you can go to their site and adjust the filter to find stuff free of other ingredients.

UPDATE
Protes Chips just reformulated to start using ground corn so it is no longer corn free.
RealFoods Reformulated the poppers, and if you can still have dairy they are a HUGE hit now from the reviews I have seen (I am whey allergic so I can not even taste them) https://www.realgoodfoods.com/product/poppers/

Cleaning supplies, shampoos, lotions, floss, toothpaste...My list keeps mushrooming and leaving me quite overwhelmed. I go next week for my first check up since my dx (3 months ago). I feel like I've barely begun to understand this.What about toothbrushes and hair spray? I would much rather get everyone's advice and not attempt to reinvent the proverbial wheel...And quite poorly at that!

I feel like I've barely begun to understand this.What about toothbrushes and hair spray? I would much rather get everyone's advice and not attempt to reinvent the proverbial wheel...And quite poorly at that!

It is really simple for most parts just going with brands you trust, once you get it down it becomes second nature and you tend to stick with them. These are some ideas of what I use and everyone uses their own for their own reasons (mine are a bit more complicated).

Cleaning supplies...I have a red and green bucket and wash cloths next to sink on counter,  bleach and water mixture in a red sanitation bucket on my counter, Gluten free, kills germs, and cleans up messes.  Simple Dawn by the sink and in a green bucket with water labeled detergent,  and Finish Dish Tabs for one of my dish washers (the other auto dispenses from a commercial 5gal cleaner). I had allergic reactions to most clothes (personal issues) detergent so use Rockin Green powder,
Shampoo I went with EO products, there are quite a few out there but I loved the keratin one works with straightening my hair.
I love Seaweed Co Bathwash,
Not really used lotion, a high fat diet helps alot, but I get some areas I use simple petroleum jelly on or O'keeffe's Healthy Feet on my foot callus. 
Toothpaste, I have used the gluten free labeled Colgate total paste, Tom's of Maine (floss to), and this other chocolate based one before.

As far as gluten is concerned, I have never seen a cleaning product that contained gluten.  You can usually google Material Safety Data sheets even on a simple item like kitchen cleanser where manufacturers are not required to list their secret ingredients on the label.  However, choosing safer chemicals might be a prudent idea for long-term health.  

Just really first focus on what you might swallow.  I have not swallowed shampoo since my mom last dunked water over my head in the bathtub.  She has not bathed me in over a half century!  I do use a hair spray that does not contain gluten.  Frankly, I have not found one that has gluten, but the golden rule is to READ ALL LABELS!

Just really first focus on what you might swallow.  I have not swallowed shampoo since my mom last dunked water over my head in the bathtub.  She has not bathed me in over a half century!  I do use a hair spray that does not contain gluten.  Frankly, I have not found one that has gluten, but the golden rule is to READ ALL LABELS!  

Thank you CL. I appreciate your assist and advice. I am certainly paying close attention and learning an awful lot.

It is really simple for most parts just going with brands you trust, once you get it down it becomes second nature and you tend to stick with them. These are some ideas of what I use and everyone uses their own for their own reasons (mine are a bit more complicated).

Cleaning supplies...I have a red and green bucket and wash cloths next to sink on counter,  bleach and water mixture in a red sanitation bucket on my counter, Gluten free, kills germs, and cleans up messes.  Simple Dawn by the sink and in a green bucket with water labeled detergent,  and Finish Dish Tabs for one of my dish washers (the other auto dispenses from a commercial 5gal cleaner). I had allergic reactions to most clothes (personal issues) detergent so use Rockin Green powder,
Shampoo I went with EO products, there are quite a few out there but I loved the keratin one works with straightening my hair.
I love Seaweed Co Bathwash,
Not really used lotion, a high fat diet helps alot, but I get some areas I use simple petroleum jelly on or O'keeffe's Healthy Feet on my foot callus. 
Toothpaste, I have used the gluten free labeled Colgate total paste, Tom's of Maine (floss to), and this other chocolate based one before.

 

EO?

*^ DESERT Flavored Coffee all gluten-free and safe, I called the company and even tested most of the coffee flavors myself using testing kits. Sounded too good to be true but most of these taste dead on like the deserts they are supposed to , just add sweetener. 
Also try their plain coffee

Are all ChristopherBean coffees gluten free? Can I shop for any of them or do I need to watch out for something? And there is no sweetener of any type added?

Christopher Bean are all gluten free, uses artificial flavoring extracts. These do not contain allergens are proteins from what they taste like. Honestly sounds bad but the flavors are lab created chemical compounds that mimic the flavors of the real food. You assume flavor from certain chemical compounds in foods. These can be made in a lab...without the foods that can make us sick.

By example oooflavors has many cheese, and baked goods flavors made the same way. my secret to enjoying food when I have such a big list of things that make me sick.

Interesting. Are CB's coffees unsweetened? I do not use fake sugar and I do not drink sweetened coffee unless I'm having it as a dessert. Thanks for telling me about their dessert tasting goodness!

Yep, dang just realized I had a $10 off code in my email for the coffee you could have used. Yeah I love the coffees, some are odd. Most dessert ones require you to sweeten to bring it out, some you only taste cold. They are fun to play with and I love how they give me enjoyment when it comes to food.
