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.

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.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
