I figured if you all gave me several of your favorite products, it would help me narrow down what to buy. It's expensive to pay $5 + for something that tastes like cardboard!!

If it's fairly low in sugar, please indicate. I consider low as less than 5 grams per serving. I really have to watch the sugar.

Thanks so much!! :D

Kinnikinnick bagels

Gluten-Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread

Gluten-free Pantry Chocolate Truffle Brownies

Amy's makes a gluten free pizza, its a rice crust pizza (pleez note that the box says gluten free in super small white letters at the bottom. the corn meal one isnt gluten free) I eat this with my friends and they say they cant even taste the difference. I also love this new thing on the market called like quick bake and fast and fresh. They are good and they cook in like 1 minute.

I'm guessing you want pre-packaged, store bought items?

  • Tinkyada Pasta (good for hot or cold pasta dishes)
  • Clif Nectar Bars (good food in a pinch)
  • Bob's Red Mill Flax Meal (used with Cream of Rice)
  • Vitamin Water (great on those hikes)
  • Welshire Farms Chicken Apple Sausages (good in a number of recipes)

Hi Lymetoo

I understand that you don't want to waste $$$$ as none of this food is cheap. I have been traveling around buying different gluten-free food because I have two young kids who get bored with food, so I try to find the best out there.....Here it goes:

pasta--- BiAglut then tinkyada

Bread mix: Anna's mixes

Biscuits: 123 gluten free

Pizza crust or prepkg: Foods by george, Everybody Eats

baguettes & crusty rolls: Everybody Eats is totally awesome (they have a website)

Amy's gluten-free mac& cheese is good (frozen)

Heartland's is also good

Glazed donuts (like the real deal) Dietary Specialities, Michigan

Food Tek has good micro cakes, cookies,bread& ect that makes a serving for one or two. They are fast, easy and tasty

Some other names that people use are Namaste,Grandma Ferdon's, Deby's in Denver, The grainless Baker in Pa.; The bread barn, Outside the Bread box.

If you would like more info you can pm me anytime. Hope this helps.

Not that I can eat these any more <_< , but here are 5 that I really liked--

Tinkyada Pasta

Gluten Free Pantry Truffle Brownies

Gluten free Pantry French Bread Mix

Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles and Gingerbread Spice Cookies

Whole Foods Bakeshop Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Grandma Ferndon's Hamburger Buns (I had to add those!)

Lymetoo Contributor

Thanks! I haven't heard of nor seen most of those. Hope I can find some of them. Thanks so much. Keep 'em coming!!

I don't agree with all of those that were listed....but I'm just a really picky eater. I'll list a few that I think taste good (and I don't mean "normal"...because I've always had Celiac...so I don't really know what "normal" is).

Tinkyada white rice spaghetti is THE BEST! (I don't care for the brown rice kinds...but most people like them.) I use this pasta for Everything (macaroni and cheese, fettucini alfredo, regular spaghetti, etc). And most health food stores carry it.

Kinnikinnick frozen pizza crusts! (Thank you nini for originally suggesting these!!!) So Yummy!! I use them to make "garlic cheesey bread"....I've only used them to make pizza once....boy were they good! (If you can't find them in the store go to: www.kinnikinnick.com )

Pamela's chocolate cake mix. It's pretty dense...not light and fluffy - but still very good. I felt really guilty eating it the first time...because I felt like I was "cheating."

Other than those three things....mostly homemade things are better. I haven't found a pre-packaged cookie that I like (they're all organic crap that are grainy and sooo gross.... If I'm going to eat a COOKIE, I don't need it to be organic!) :D So, I've always just substituted very very fine rice flour with a little xanthan gum to most cookie and brownie recipes. (Oriental markets sell the best rice flour!) And they usually turn out perfect!!

Good luck going 100% gluten-free!

i stick mostly to natural foods (produce), but i love almond and cashew butter (marantha brand), all natural peanut butter (my store brand, crunchy), as well as mori-nu tofu. i keep rainforest organic ginger curry sauce and bragg's liquid aminos on hand for quick sauces if i am rushing - they are very tasty.

oh, good point, lorka, I wasn't thinking "important things to cook with". on that front, I'd put these five up:

  • san-j wheat free tamari
  • thai kitchen chili paste
  • ginger people ginger juice
  • spice hunter spices
  • almond breeze

I'm glad this type of post has come up again. It's great getting all these new food ideas.

My top 5:

1. Misson corn tortillas and corn tortilla chips - I love them w/ cheese, salsa, rice and avocado.

2. Kinnikinnick muffins (blueberry, carrot, chocolate chip) - yummy with a cup of coffee in the morning.

3. Anna's bread mixes - I use my bread machine.

4. Pamela's cookies - I agree that the pecan shortbread are wonderful.

5. Thai Kitchen rice noodle bowls - I take them to work for lunch, and I bring them w/ me when I travel, in case I can't find anything to eat.

Enjoy!

My newest obsession is Gillian's French Rolls. SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! SO light, SO yummy, go with EVERYTHING! (ok, I'll stop raving now...)

For making your own bread, Breads by Anna is awesome. I've also tried 'Cause Your Special, Namaste and Really Great Food Co. mixes with success.

Lesser Evil glazed popcorn (especially the cinnamon one!) are really good too.

Kinnikinnick, Josef's cookies - and everything from www.everybodyeats-inc.com - if you order, you MUST try their cinnamon rolls. Who needs Cinnabon??

I've never heard of this Lesser Evil, but I just ordered 2 big packages (a 36 count and a 12 count!) from amazon - it looks incredible! Free shipping and $10 off if you use the code "GROCERY2" from now until Aug. 31. I hope I like it :o

I'm new to this, but my favorites so far are the Kinnitoos vanilla sandwhich cookies, Really Great Food Company pancake mix (light and fluffy like real pancakes!), Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles, and Pamela's Baking/Pancake mix to make banana bread with (thanks to whoever put that recipe on here amonth or so ago - it is incredible!). I also like the Tinkyada pasta, but I'm not picky with my pasta (any of them will do for me - it's all about the sauce).

Wow!!! Thanks!! Now to transfer these to Word!

I've tried Kinnikinnick tray rolls and they were yucky, to my taste anyway. Are the hamburger buns similar in taste? I've got them in my freezer but have not tried them since I didn't like their tray rolls.

Thanks,

Linda

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
