What Are Your Fav gluten-free Products?

My whole family is going gluten-free and as I have an extremely picky 13-year-old, I was wondering what products do you use on a regular basis that you love? I am just getting into shopping at the health food store and baking for them, too, :) and any help on any products--baking flours, mixes, pre-packaged convenience foods, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I have wasted too much money on bad-tasting things, so I thought I would ask the people who have the experience with trying different foods. Thanks!

For bread mix try Breads from Anna...we made it without a bread machine but it's much easier to make in one. For prepared bread Kinnikinnik can't be beat. Their Italian white tapioca rice bread is the best bread substitute I've had to date. Heard their bagels were great but havn't found them yet. The GFP (gluten free pantry) mixes are great, pie crusts, scones, Pamela's gluten-free pancake mix is wonderful...to me it's like a mix between reg. pancakes and whole wheat ones. For prepared brownies again Kinnikinnik can't be beat. Van's waffles are good but I think I prefer Life Stream's brand over them. For prepared scones try Gltuen Free Bakeshop from Whole Foods...also their raisin carrot loaf is pretty good, toasted with butter. As a rule, most gluten-free bread needs a little heat to make it paletable. Try microwaving for a few seconds if you're not toasting it. EnerG makes the best reg. gluten-free cracker (not rice) and Blue Diamond makes the best rice cracker. EnerG also makes the best pretzels - I'm addicted to their sesame ones. I myself found too many good replacements so I'm trying to watch what I consume...gluten-free versions of things are higher in calories and sugar than their glutenous counterparts.

A few of my favorites:

Tinkyada pasta with kraft mac & cheese powder (it says "shake on popcorn" and comes in a blue canister near the parmesan cheese - it is the cheese mix from their boxed mac & cheese)

same pasta with Emeril's kicked up tomato sauce

string cheese - kraft

Kozy Shack tapioca - all their puddings are great and are labeled gluten-free.

Fruits and vegetables, Kinnickinnick Montana chocolate chip cookies. I like to have stuffed tomatoes or green peppers.For the green peppers, I saute garlic and shrimp and mushrooms together then mix them in with ripe olives, brown rice and goat cheese and bake in my toaster oven.

Rice vermicelli noodles, tinkyada pasta, gluten/ dairy-free spinach lasagna with portabello mushrooms. Stir frys. Celi Mix pancakes.

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
