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.

Flour

Yogurt

Melted coconut oil

baking soda

baking powder

salt 

nutmeg

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. 🤭🤮🥞

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)

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief... Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ And...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.

      They say maltodextrin is gluten-free, even if it's made from wheat, because the gluten is processed away.  It makes no difference to my body.  I still get uncontrollable flatulence and leakage.  Happens every time, even if I refuse to believe it will happen.  Once I was taking Gas-X chewables to hang around with people I was visiting and staying with, to make sure I would feel safer and more comfortable.  WRONG.  I forgot to read the label. I didn't realize it till after I left and went home--MALTODEXTRIN.  I was miserable the whole time. The second gastroenterologist I saw made the tentative diagnosis of microscopic colitis.  Usually occurs in women over 60, I was 59, had been in a crash, (2020) was taking alot of NSAIDS, muscle relaxants.  Had constant diarrhea, gas, leaking.  Unbearable, and I didn't know it was NSAIDS.  I was scheduled for two-way endoscopy, mouth to butt, but they wanted $2,000 up front.  Finally, had a colonoscopy in 2022, 10 biopsies, didn't find a thing!  MC can go into remission, which I was, of course, desperate to do.  No more NSAIDS, tried to cut down on all the other pain killers, everything, chemicals that I knew triggered me.  So, no, they didn't find anything.  So sad that we have to make ourselves sicker and more injured to get a proper diagnosis! Microscopic colitis is being seen concurrently with gluten problems.  MC can be triggered by NSAIDS, SSRI's, all kinds of things. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17227-microscopic-colitis Some links for maltodextrin health effects: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6409436/#:~:text=Altogether%2C these findings show that,the development of intestinal inflammation. https://www.mdedge.com/internalmedicine/article/193956/gastroenterology/maltodextrin-may-increase-colitis-risk
