What’s your best or worst gluten-free find this week?

Recommended Posts

I am stealing this idea from someone on Facebook.  I just thought I would add “ worst” to it.  

What gluten-free product/food  did you discover this week that is great or really awful or over- rated? 

( please be kind. Some people may just not care for something while others may LOVE it)

Just kind of fun to learn about new products

Mine is this broth in a tea bag.  Now I haven’t tried it but it sounds like a great idea.

 

http://www.sippingbroth.com/index.html

 

Respira Apprentice

Unrefinedbakery.com

they have great brownies and cranberry muffins

Respira Apprentice

Also canyon bakery everything bagels. Their other bagels are not that great but the everything bagels have the exact consistency of regular bagels.

I ordered some of the sipping broth.  So we will see how it comes out .

 

Canyon Bakehouse has good products.

Well I got closer to the perfect waffles selling at a farmers markets -_- I hate that I have to add a bit of tapioca starch to my mix, I mainly use coconut, almond, swerve, eggs, bit of butter flavored coconut oil, and baking powder. BUT to get the super fluffy soft texture I have to add the starch. Just barely fits my keto diet and I have to limit my intake or risk spiking my glucose and flaring my UC.

I saw those sipping broths and posted about them I think last year....sodium is my concern on those things but the tortilla soup one sounded wonderful (think my UC would hate it lol) Since childhood the broth of soups was always my favorite especially my mothers chicken and squash soup.

I recently got out 2 new recipes from my bakery, my original chocolate chip cookies were like a chips ahoy knock off (again with a bit of tapioca starch) My 2 new ones are a soft baked cookie that turned out interesting and a wonderful chewy cookie where I found a bit of gelatin in the mix gives it a slight chewy texture..bit like the ones my grandma valeta used to keep on the table but gluten free, paleo and keto.

I found out how to make chaffles (cheese waffles) from miracle noodles posting and tried it with vegan mozzarella...was pretty good adjusted to a 10min cook time...just wish I could dredge it in marinara and eat it without reserve lol.

Worst...well I will admit the pairing of turkey Italian sausage in salad with balsamic was not that great lol.

Turkey sausage in salad didn’t sound like a good idea to me, either!  ?

I miss falafel.  Made this recipe using gluten free dried garbanzas from Nuts.com, substituted gluten-free flour (made a double batch and half cooked the extra and froze them so I can eat just a few anytime, just heating in oven):

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/videos/4088-falafel?extcode=MCSAD10L0&ref=new_search_experience_2

 

And with these BFREE pitas from Amazon (they're too thin to split and fill, so just lightly warm and use them like a taco, folded in half:

not a product, but I did watch a cooking show where they made corn dogs with cornbread batter and hot dogs in a waffle iron.  I really want one now...……………..

canyon bakehouse makes good stuff.  I can only get the plain bagels here locally, but the everything bagels I have had in florida and they are spot on :) 

edited to add:  we have the bfree pitas at our Kroger and they are yumm-o.  i made one with prosciutto, fig jam, parm reg, (broil) then topped with arugula tossed in some lemon juice, s&p o my gosh I almost gave my husband a bite.  

almost...….

I would say this is my best find for this week, but I can’t find it!  Someone posted that they had found this Progresso gluten-free chicken and noodle soup.  It’s new!  They said it was tasty.  It looks like Progresso may be changing out their labels.  The stock of blue labels is dwindling at the grocery.  Maybe they will close out sale some of the gluten-free flavors soon.

it probably hasn't made it out of Canada?  why does it seem like Canada gets all the good gluten-free stuff first lolz

i'll look down here but, you know, even if there was a nuclear war, it wouldn't make it to east Tennessee until 2 years later......??

Someone in the KC area found it.

I put it on my shopping list lolz

The other was the new pasta sauces from Primal Kitchen....the Dairy Free Alfredo was GODLY.

Not really a discovery this week but - my air fryer.  Love this thing.  Makes the best French fries.  I just use Ore Ida and no added oil.  Or little red and purple potatoes with a light coating of olive oil. They come out so crispy and delicious.  And way less fat and calories.  I have done breaded cheese and chicken in it too!  All really good.

I keep hearing this from people who have the air fryers. My hubby loves fried food & I tell you, I'm so tired of grease coating everything.

You lose that fat feel that you get from fried foods, but they taste lovely.  Less like grease and more like potato or chicken .  

 

Been meaning to try broccoli or something like that

We just had these ramen noodles for dinner with a stir fry.  Really nice.  Got a big bag at Costco.  Don’t remember how much but not bad.  Looking forward to it cooling off and adding them to soup.

Looks like about $10 for 12 ramen clumps-

These noodles are great, been eating them for years. They run out often so stock up when you see them!

I like the Aldi Rosemary and olive oil gluten-free crackers.  Just tried them this week and they have a lot of flavor.

Deeeeeeeeeee-licious stuffing! My hubby found this in the store last week. He had it today. I am having a problem with all grains right now so I can't eat it but I couldn't resist a taste b/c the aroma was driving me insane. This is really good! It's also dairy, corn & soy free.

I have a coconut flour based bread recipe and paleo stuffing recipe on my blog, I just made it for thanksgiving. It is based off my grandmothers, I just used my own bread for corn bread. Perhaps you can enjoy dressing again come Christmas?

Awwww, Ennis, so very kind of you but coconut is out for now too. I seem to have lost nuts (as well as my mind:lol:). I am actually trailing corn right now. Fingers crossed!

Feel Good Foods has a line of frozen gluten-free foods mostly with an oriental bent. My hubby has tried the egg rolls, & the General Tso's Chicken which I no longer find on their website - I hope they didn't discontinue it!

Good food!

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through an incredible journey with your health, and it’s no wonder you’re starting to piece things together and wonder about celiac disease. Your experiences—from childhood through adulthood—paint a picture of symptoms that are often associated with celiac disease, though they can overlap with other conditions as well. The recurring sinus infections, being underweight as a child, chronic gastrointestinal issues, nutrient-related symptoms like cramps, and the persistent fatigue and brain fog are all things that many people with undiagnosed celiac report. Your reactions to gluten also stand out. The improvement in symptoms when you reduce or remove gluten, followed by the resurgence of pain and other problems when you reintroduce it, is a common experience for those with celiac or gluten intolerance. While your frustrations and trials with elimination diets might not have given you concrete answers yet, they’ve provided valuable clues. It’s also worth noting that celiac disease doesn’t always present in the classic way. Many people, like yourself, may not experience severe gastrointestinal distress but instead have “atypical” or extraintestinal symptoms like joint pain, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, and more. It’s a condition that can go undiagnosed for years, especially when symptoms are subtle, sporadic, or mistakenly attributed to other issues. The fact that you’ve sought alternative approaches to feel better shows just how determined you’ve been to find relief, even without a definitive diagnosis. Given your history and how your body responds to gluten, it would be worth exploring celiac disease further with a medical professional. Before removing gluten completely, it’s important to get tested while you’re still eating it, as going gluten-free beforehand can affect the accuracy of the results. A blood test for celiac antibodies (like tTG-IgA) is usually the first step, and if positive, an endoscopy may follow to confirm the diagnosis. If the testing process feels daunting, keep in mind that getting answers could give you clarity and help guide your health decisions going forward. Whatever the outcome, you’ve already made significant strides in identifying triggers and managing your symptoms. Your awareness and persistence are key, and this community is here to support you as you continue to seek answers. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of blood test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Hi, I am new!  (Although I've used this forum as a reference over the past couple of years.) I'm just looking for some initial reactions to if I actually might possibly have Celiac Disease, or if I'm reaching here.  I have had lifelong health issues and not once has a doctor suggested I look into celiac. I always thought it was basically an extreme allergy that needed an EpiPen, and I know that's not me.  However, I stumbled upon some symptoms, realized I was wrong, and after some research I'm almost shocked at what I have found.  It seems like anything I've ever struggled with has a potential correlation to this disease!  I'm in my 40's, now.  Here is my journey to date... Issues as a Kid: tons of allergies, and had sinus infections all the time... however I didn't have hayfever-like allergies and the scratch tests didn't register much, it was more that when I was exposed to allergens (like say I spent hours with a cat) I was certain to get a sinus infection and it lasted months. was extremely skinny and everyone always said I was anorexic (I wasn't) always getting sick and the illnesses hang on for a long time always cold (my favorite thing to do is sit in front of a space heater or be out in 90 degree weather) intermittent bad constipation (still happens but not as severe) horrible toe cramps that would wake me up in the middle of the night As I got older (teenage/college years): acid reflux diagnosis learned that beer made me EXTREMELY sick, cannot tolerate it horrible issues with menstrual cycle - I wasn't regular, had awful cramps and PMS, sometimes cannot function the first couple of days night terrors/sleep walking more stomach issues - I learned I couldn't have black coffee.  I often had issues especially when traveling.  For example I finally noticed a pattern that I could never, ever eat at a hotel buffet spread - it would always make me sick afterwards. More recent problems: always tired periodic pain on right side that can be so painful I can't stand up straight. Have had all kinds of scans and doctors always say I'm fine.  I was so sure I had gallstones or my liver was failing but... nope. chest pain brain fog not diagnosed but many, many ADHD symptoms lots of inflammation, am overweight now toe cramps evolved into leg/calf cramps None of my symptoms from any era of my life ever really resolved, except I went from being skinny to ~20/30 pounds overweight, and as I got older I got less outright sinus infections.  Largely due to the pain in my right side and the fact that I always, always seem to pick up every illness, especially when traveling, I started pursuing alternative medicine paths... I did the Pritikin lifestyle, I tried an elimination diet, I followed the Root Cause Protocol, I did a Leptin reset.  A lot of these paths recommend removing gluten, and in the past year or so some of my symptoms have gone away!  Specifically less issues with toe cramps, sometimes the side pain would go away for a long time, and my acid reflux got much better.  But, because I was never diagnosed with any specific intolerance, I wasn't militant about the gluten - I had cut out dairy, soy, all kinds of things.  So I would say cross-contamination is ok, or make an exception at a group outing. Then one day, I just got frustrated and ate some normal slices of pizza... and my side pain came back!  I started doing research and now I'm here and wondering... could I have actually had this my whole life??!? Thoughts and observations welcome.
