Ok I have been recently told I need to go back to gluten free/wheat free foods. As a kid I was on this diet but my mom removed me from it because she miss understood the rules. She thought I would out grow it.

She doesn't remember any of the recipes. I need help w/what words to look for on boxes to avoid. I found soy flour and its gluten free. Can I make bread from this w/out using other flours? If so sny recipes for it?

I'm finding it hard to find foods that I can eat.

Any help to make it easy to understand the Dos and don't of Celiac.

I bought store gluten free bread and it was yucky to me...so i bought a bread machine and make my own which is delicious!!! i make it with Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix....can't rave enough about that...that makes delicious french toast or sandwiches....

fresh fruits and veggies are always gluten free- Most meats are naturally gluten free (if they are free of preservatives, if not double check lables) season with fresh herbs.

Protein bars- like organic food bar, or zone perfect, and lara bars are good to keep in your purse or in the pantry for a snack attack.

I make pamelas waffles in bulk and freeze for breakfast (with the baking mix) and also do the recipe for muffins the same way- then add bacon and OJ and there is breakfast....

if you have a whole foods market near you- they should have decent selection of gluten free things to get you jump started if not, check your current supermarket, or find some of your nutritional stores and call to see what they stock, and there is always the internet you can order things from like Amazon, and this site has a grocery section too... Our Kroger and Publix has a small selection of gluten free foods....

check out this list from Ingles supermarket of gluten free foods- most of these are available at any grocery store- just double check your labels....

I hope I doing this right. I havent figured out how to reply.

Thanks for your help. I will have to travel in to a bigger town to find more choices, heck any choices really. I Asked a local baker today if they knew of where I could find rice flour or wheat free /gluten free around here and they looked at me like I was crazy. I have soy flour and I'm going to try to make bread from it. Right now I have got to learn to look close at lables since I am use to just grabbing something to eat.

Hi

That's a bummer that you got away from the diet & now have to relearn how to eat again...

Clan thompson is a good site to get tons of info & of course this site....

A few mainstream things I can think of quickly are :swanson broth,progresso creamy mushroom ,progresso chicken & rice, progresso I think its called corn chowder are gluten-free...Dinty moore beef stew is gluten-free but not the others.Pillsbury frostings are gluten-free.Kraft will list any ingredients that may cause allergies.

Ragu is okay, I use the cheese sauce in the jar to make mac& cheese using BiAglut spirals (noodles). Taste just like Boston Market's......

I alway tell newcomers to start out eating naked foods, then as you learn what's okay add on a couple new things each week ie: spices & toppings...

The recipe section has many things that are very good. We have some very excellent gluten-free cooks on board.I love the soft breadsticks from CarrieFaith & I just posted a recipe for danish that is very easy & tasty.

Bell & evans has gluten-free chicken nuggets in most grocery stores, they have a black label so you can tell them from the reg. ones.I love Anna's bread mix & her pumpkin bread is wonderful....Pamela's has a very good pancake mix.Foods by George has some good products.

You can eat any veggies , fruit or meats just check out if they are coated, marinated or breaded in a non gluten-free product.

I could go on forever but if you want more Please just pm me & I can give you names of some bettergf products.I do alot of mailorder because there is nothing here much gluten-free....plus I travel ours to buy gluten-free supplies..

blessings

It will all fall into place just be patient & don't get overwelmed .....

you can do some shopping online too. www.amazon .com and www.shopbydiet.com are good places to find gluten free food. just type gluten free into the search. you could also buy your own rice and put it through a grain grinder (if you had one).

good luck and glad you found us! lots of good help and recipes here :)

I love "The Gluten Free Gourmet" cookbook. It's got some really good bread and cake recipes.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Polly-O all cheese products are gluten free?

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
