What Are Your Staples In The Kitchen?

I have decided that I'm going to go gluten-free (without tests) maybe Enterolab soon, but I'm going to start gluten-free soon and I was wondering what everyone's staples were that are always in your kitchen besides the usuals (potatoes, eggs, rice, veggies, fruit, meat). I don't mind baking at all so that's not a problem. Also I know this may not be right for the topic but I'm trying to explain to my gram about the gluten-free lifestyle...she told me tonight that she's making pasta...I said that I'd eat it (probably not) and she said 'okay well just stay away from the bread...the pasta will be okay'. I just spent an hour explaining that wheat could be 'everywhere' So any other ideas besides getting her on the computer on explaining it to her. And also what about the kitchen since there's going to be 1 gluten-free person and 2 that aren't?

Thanks in advance

corn tortillas, corn chips, cheese, instant mashed potatoes, a variety of soups, chocolate, some sort of cereal.

I frequently come home late and starving so I keep a variety of things I can just eat.

I also have a variety of flours, butter in the freezer, nuts in the freezer, crisco type stuff.

As for gram, she really doesn't know that pasta is made from wheat flour? I just assumed that everyone from that generation was better informed about what they eat than we are!!

That's what I thought. But basically since I've been on this 'kick' as she puts it all she says is to cut out the bread and pastry. She just made a comment at dinner that she doesn't think that I'll stick to this it's just another 'fad' . Yet I know how I feel when i have gluten. I printed out I believe it's nini's (if it's not please correct me) 50 things to eat right now. I gave it to my gram and she 'this is it?'

I said until i get better at this right now yes that's all.

Lots of fresh vegetables, including bagged and washed salads. We make a large container of rice and chicken at the beginning of the week and eat it whenever we need a fast meal. Also, I keep a loaf of gluten-free bread in the freezer that I use to make toast on occasion. Peanut butter has become essential and so has beans and gluten-free pasta. We tend to lean toward less processed foods so we only use bread and pasta occasionally. Salads can be fun and filling if you make them right, I swear! :lol: And dinner is simple if you have have meat, veggies, and rice around.

Oh, and for breakfast I use JayRobb's protein shake and mix it with almond milk. It's so yummy and is gluten, lactose, and chemical free!

Good luck!

wow that's definitely a big mix...it seems like I could get a wide variety of foods with gluten-free. which I don't have no since I'm picky...but either way it'll be good.

My question for gluten-free flours and gluten-free noodles (like rice noodles and such) can I buy those at reg supermarkets (like walmart, price chopper, or wegmans) or do I have to go to health food store?

Thanks for answering so many of my questions...I'm sorry for being a pain...I just want to do this right =)

Just one simple product: Mrs. Dash (all varieties) has helped me kick up my otherwise bland cooking. I love spice, and flavor, and these really help, especially when my cooking attempt leaves something to be desired.

It depends on the grocery store as to whether or not they carry gluten-free pastas. My local grocery stores have been carrying them, but again, I'm sure it varies.

If your local store doesn't carry them, you can always ask them to order stuff for you.

      Facial pain

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      The fact is, we know very little about the mechanism of NCGS at this point. We know much more about celiac disease. Some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading many, many forum contributor test result reports, elevated igg antibodies may signal a transition from NCGS to celiac disease.  But there are other things besides gluten that can cause elevated dgp igg and ttg igg antibody levels. So, yes. I would continue to monitor the situation if I were you and get regular testing. Not necessarily every 6 months but yearly anyway if you can. In the meantime, if you know gluten causes you unwellness, continue to avoid it.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Extensive scientific research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, has demonstrated their efficacy and safety for most individuals. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, thereby reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Importantly, statins do not "remove all fats" from the body, as suggested in your post. They specifically target cholesterol synthesis and do not deplete essential fats, such as those required for brain function, hormone production, or nutrient absorption. The body still maintains its necessary fat reserves, including healthy fats, which are critical for physiological processes. Regarding the claim that statins cause internal bleeding by making blood vessels permeable, this is not supported by scientific evidence. Statins are not known to increase the risk of internal bleeding. However, like all medications, they can have side effects, such as muscle pain or, in rare cases, liver enzyme abnormalities. The benefits of statins in reducing cardiovascular risk generally outweigh the risks for most patients, particularly those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol. The suggestion to use odorless garlic, magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium for heart health may have some merit, as these supplements can support cardiovascular function in certain contexts. For example, magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, while vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting and bone health. However, these should not replace evidence-based treatments like statins when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Always consult a medical professional before making changes to medication or starting new supplements, as individual health needs vary.
