Can we all agree that it can be super hard to find gluten free food, and then when you find it, you find either a ton of really good things, or a bunch of really bad things. Also, a long time ago I tried gluten free ramen and it was so good. Lastly, where does every body find their gluten free food. My best option is trader joe's, wegmans, and Aldis. 🤗

Hi Maddie6332! I don’t know if you have a Sprouts or Natural Grocers where you live, but I was surprised and excited that there are labels for gluten-free foods throughout the store! I used to love going to Trader Joe’s . What are some of your favorite gluten-free things there?

I really like a lot of Trader Joe's options, but I've been gluten-free for 26+ years, and recall when there were zero prepared foods available and you had to make or buy GF flour mixes and make everything yourselves.

Good point, that’s real perspective considering I was diagnosed 5 months ago. I’m curious, do you still make things “old school” or do you go with already prepared things? I think there’s tons of options now compared to then. The next “frontier” will be for restaurants to be more accommodating…

Some of my favorite gluten free things are gluten free potstickers, Reese's puffs cereal, (the bread at wegmans is SO good, depending on which type) I also like Gluten Free pasta, it is my favorite thing to eat in general and it is so, so good. I had it for dinner. It was great!😋

I like to look for things in the stores, but making gluten free food at home is fun and easy, depending on what it is.  I really like to make chocolate chip gluten free muffins at my house, I make them big and their super delicious!

@Maddie6332,

Would you share the recipe?  Chocolate chip muffins sound really good this time of year.  

Which kind of flour substitute or mix do you use?  

I used to make gluteny chocolate chip pumpkin cookies when I was a little critter and didn't know I had Celiac.  

I wonder if you could come up with chocolate chip pumpkin muffins for me?   Pumpkin is supposed to be good for our tender tummies.

Hi there. I have found a site called Gluten free on a shoestring. There is a pumpkin muffin/ chocolate chip recipe on there.

 Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins | quick & easy with chocolate chips (glutenfreeonashoestring.com) 

I have tried a lot of her recipes and have not been disappointed.

I use Gluten free flower by King Arthur! It is really good and I use it in a lot of my baking, especially muffins! 

Flour

Yogurt

Melted coconut oil

baking soda

baking powder

salt 

nutmeg

2 eggs

sugar

almond flour

lemon juice

Chocolate chips

That was all the ingredients you needed! Enjoy!

Servings: 12 muffins

1x2x3x

INGREDIENTS

1¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (may substitute regular all-purpose flour) (*see recipe notes) 

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup organic brown sugar (may sub coconut sugar)

2 whole eggs

1/4 cup oil (such as olive oil or avocado oil)

2 Tbsp. organic maple syrup

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/3 cup chopped pecans (omit for nut-free)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a second bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, oil, maple syrup and vanilla; mix well. 

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened. 

Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin wells ½ to ¾ full. A silicone muffin pan also works great. 

Bake at 375°F for 17-21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

 Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely

It take 10 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to cook! It takes 30 minutes in total.

I hope you like them and enjoy!!🤗😋

  I made pancakes today, but they ended up not cooking all the way and they were so gross. But the flavor was good, but the texture was just- ew. 🤭🤮🥞

@Maddie6332,

Try, try again!  I've had some recipe disasters, but keep trying and you'll get it right.  

Maybe cooking your pancakes at a higher temperature would help.

I cooked them on a pan, and the temperature was too high! Hahah!

@Maddie6332,

Maybe a lower temperature then!  Lol! Learning to cook is so much fun!  

Keep experimenting! We Celiacs need a nationwide chain of gluten free restaurants!  

I love to hear about your cooking...  Keep a journal or blog of successful recipes and disasters.

I shop at Walmart- Wegman is in the richer side of town and is an hour away From me. I do stock up when I have the opportunity. But Walmart has a good gluten free section (at least the one near me)

I do get a lot of good gluten free foods from Walmart too! Mine has some good options, but not a lot.

      Extreme bloating even gluten-free

      I was diagnosed in April. I have been very careful about being gluten-free, except for one accident in August where I ate candy with wheat. Despite being careful, I still experience extreme painful bloating almost daily. I'm so frustrated. I stopped eating gluten-free oats because I wondered if that was it. Now I am wondering if is dairy. I'm already tired...

      In general I'm all for a formal diagnosis, except in cases where someone gets very sick when they eat gluten, and have already been on a gluten-free diet for a long time and don't plan to eat it again anyway.

      While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like you will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if you should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal N...

There seems to be more drawbacks that keep popping up with being formally diagnosed--at least here in the USA. I can testify that it's definitely harder to obtain life insurance, and if you can get it the premiums are quite a bit higher than if I did not have it, at least from my fairly recent experience when getting a new policy.  @Ginger38 you're very close to the end of your challenge, so let us know how it turns out.

However, I realise things can be very different in other parts of the world, and I am not sure where you are from, @Ginger38

I was already gluten free. I was never willing to go back on gluten and make myself so sick to have the biopsy especially when the biopsy isn’t 💯. But Now I have to have a procedure anyway and he told me he was doing the biopsy either way .. but I should consider the gluten challenge since I have never had the biopsy. He acted like it was super important to have this on paper.  I had no idea there were any possible negative drawbacks to having a formal diagnosis 🤦🏼‍♀️

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS). Keep in mind that there are also drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications.  Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis.
