I just need to vent. I have yet to find the substitute for subways bread and i am really craving it. I hear all my friends say i had subway last night and it was so good and blah blah. meanwhile i listening and thinking you do not need to get sick over a sandwich. But its hard you know? I am the only one in my family who has Celiac and is on the diet. So i have to smell the reg. pizzas and brownies. i know they have to eat too, but i get so sick to my stomach just smelling them and then i see the pizzas and i want that.

sorry for venting

Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I don't know anyone with celiac

I am not sure I can offer much for advice but I would like to 'validate your frustration.' You have every right to vent. Maintaining a gluten free diet is not easy, especially when people around you are eating your favorite gluten filled foods.

I don't have celiac but my husband does. The subway sandwich is not worth it, when my husband gets sick its aweful.

We don't know anyone with Celiac Disease either. I am fairly new to this forum and I find the correspondence with others helps.

Take care,

Gretchen

I'm not a teen (sorry) but I can sooo relate! The office where I pay my phone bill every month is actually attached to a Subway, and the SMELL... Omg... it's torture.

I haven't found a bread recipe that is anywhere near as good as Subway... But pizza and brownies, I totally do! For brownies, I think the two best mixes are Gluten Free Pantry, and Pamela's-- in that order. For pizza, Gluten Free Pantry is ok, but I like my from-scratch better. Let me know if you want the recipe. Kinnikinick frozen pizza crusts are excellent, too-- and quick and easy!

I think the Gluten Free Pantry brownie mix is just as good as regular- and they have it at a lot of Wal-marts now.

I know, it is hard. Sometimes it's the silliest little things that get me... Like when my husband had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on soft squishy regular bread the other day. I took the plate from him, and just SNIFFED his sandwich. :lol:

I think the young adult people in the world who have a new diagnosis really have it tough! My teenagers have had to make big adjustments in their lives on top of being around peers that can eat normal food! I wish I could take it away from all of you! I know I spent hundreds of dollars searching for a bread that would make a good sandwich-did not find any and quickly gave up! I buy Kinninnick (not spelled right I am sure) and toast it for my children to have for breakfast!

My mother-in-law has helped a lot! She has worked to help me find food choices for my children! I will never forget the morning I gave them biscuits and gravy that were gluten free! I really cried that morning when sharing my story with the teachers I work with!

Hang it there! I know it can be tough in a world that revolves around living to eat instead of eating to live!

Yep, most gluten free breads taste like a kitchen sponge.

I found that the gluten free breads that you get from the supermarkets are the worst. The best ones that I have found have been at little bakeries, so you could try calling a few of the bakeries in your area and seeing if they offer any.

Good luck

I'm also not a teen, I'm mom to a teen, but I'm the only one in my family going through this. The other day I ran to Panerra to pick up some bread bowls to serve soup to my family in (I just eat mine without the bread bowl, but they love them). Well, Panneras was one of my FAVORITE places to eat before all this - I looked around at all the fantastic sandwhiches and grilled sandwhiches, the breads and bagels and cakes and brownies, my favorite of their soups served in a bread bowl, and I almost cried . . . all those things which once gave me so much joy and I'll never, ever be able to have again.

All you can do is focus on wanting to be healthy and accepting and loving your body as it is. its not easy, we all know that, and esp at your age . . . just find as many OTHER foods that you love and eat them when you miss those foods.

wow.... i think i might be the first actual TEEN hint hint to post here :rolleyes:

but! let's see... oh shoot... i was gonna tell you the brands tomorrow but i dropped my jello spoon so i'll go find out now :lol: :lol:

for bread, it's not great, it's not subway, and it doesn't look too appealing unless you toast it, but i like the sandwich bread by Foods by George that they have at Whole Foods

and for pizzas... wait... noooo gahh forgot the name... ummm... tell you tomorrow ;)

and now for my "poor me" story, since everyone else has had one:

ok well ravioli, garlic bread, and meat sauce has always been my favorite meal EVER!! (by the way, anyone found a good garlic bread? or breadsticks or something?)

but anyways my whole family was eating that meal in its entirety, which is kind of a rare thing, and then i came downstairs when they were getting ready to eat it and i swear i almost cried

then, i go to hole up in my big chair in the family room (it's connected to the kitchen, no wall or anything) and watch tv to distract myself, and then my mom tells me, no, i have to let my sister choose the show!!! urrrgh i was mad :angry: :angry:

I've made cheese steak subs with either Whole Foods or Glutino pizza crusts. I warm the pizza crust in the microwave and pan fry a thin sliced steak, add Provalone cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. It's a little bit messy - but worth it :)

Try Carrifaith's breadsick recipe from this thread.

If you cut the end of the baggie too much and squeeze the dough out too fast and let it rise quite a bit you end up with little loaves that can be used for sandwiches. I found that out by accident.

Subway is probably one of the things I miss the most! Its not the like sub bread, but pamela's bread mix is REALLY good, we've even added cinnamon, and then its like cinnamon bread (imagine that, add cinnamon to bread and you get cinnamon bread!). Anyways, I think its really hard to make gluten free buns and sub bread, i have yet to find a good bun.

feel free to pm me if you want

Chebe mixes have really good pizzas and bread mixes, but we make the bread into breadsticks, and we use pamela's bread mix to make garlic bread. you just have to put the slices of bread on a cookie sheet (use parchment paper or something of the sort if you dont have a gluten free cookie sheet) spread some olive oil and shredded garlic (that sounds weird but i don't know how to describe it) on it, then put it in the oven until its kind of toasted and crisp around the edges.

Also, I hate it when my family has my favorite dinner when I can't have it. Ugh!

Well I can identify with the girl needing to vent...I have mood swings about how I feel about this disease. it's sooooooooooo hard sometimes....but then I realize I dont want to get sick like I used to. This disease brought me my neice, the most amazing, beautiful, strong little girl I have ever seen in my life. Without celiac disease, I wouldn't have her....so therefore I am grateful.Being her aunt is my favorite job in the whole wide world. it is hard....but i know that somwhow I am supposed to bring this disease into the public eye even more

I am a fighter, a survivor

I will always win with this disese

PEACE OUT

Amy's makes good bread, and bob's red mill makes really good cakes, i'm not sure about cookies.

The other day I had this HUGE craving for pizza rolls, so I'm surrounding myself with good food i can have instead. still, its so hard!

I love Foods By George Gluten Free Pizzas, and Grainless Baker pizzas are probably the most realistic (just google it). As for bread, I found a GREAT bagel, the Glutino brand...you just have to toast it haha. My mom and I have been on the biggest search to find good food and its coming along. I love Amy's products too, great enchilladas and mac & cheese. This disease definitely sucks and we have every right to vent.

I know it seems hard, but you can't cheat! Every miniscule amount of gluten in your body can do big damage...it's not worth it to cheat. Unlike diets to loose weight, Celiac does real damage. I know how tempting it is to see or hear others talking about their gluten and stuff, but just say no!

The best bread I've tried is made by Udi's. It tastes like a plain white bread, and it is nice because it's sold in the freezer section of my normal grocery store. Udi's also makes really good gluten-free pizza crusts and cookies :D

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      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.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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.
