Why do I need more then one cookbook? I don't know but before going gluten free I bought shelf fulls of cookbooks, well mainly about baking. Julia Child, Rose Levy Bernbaum, Dorie Greenspan, King Arthur Flour, Peter Reinhart. Ya that was my type of baking. It was hard to accept I was going to bake gluten free. As time has gone by it has become easier and I have learned (by listening to people on here) to trust myself and keep baking. Also after listening to people on here I found I can take recipes from my favorite books and make them gluten free with a few adjustments. OF course Peter Reinharts book doesn't do me much good now!

BUT there are some great gluten free books out there. Plus blogs (I have one!) where people share what they have found regarding living and eating gluten free. Some blogs just want to sell you something so beware of those though!

Cooking with Coconut Flour (so far so good with everything I made but the cakes and such come out kind of eggy) I really like this as a reference and am trying to incorporate the coconut flour into all the recipes I use, it adds bulk to the baked item, its a great source of fiber and the baked item makes you FULL without needing to eat a lot.

Wheat-Free Recipes & Menus (very complete cookbook) This is the book I turn to when I want to know how to cook main dishes but the baked items are also very good and I compare all other recipes to the ones in this book

Gluten-Free Baking Classics (basic baking but very good) This was the first one I bought. It is a basic book but everything is simple and easy to make with good results.

The Gluten-Free Gourmet (for whatever reason I don't use this one much)

Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook (variety in baking)

Gluten-Free Baking (This is one of my favorites) This is the book for me. If you want to bake something special or something different this is the book to have.

I like "Cooking Free" the best so far and I have bought 4. I have multiple food avoidances, so it is perfect for me. Ways to bake and cook without gluten, dairy, egg and sugar.

I love cookbooks and collect them like other people collect... other things. The ones I use the most... oddly, not my Gluten free ones. I try to eat healthy and whole, so the ones I use the most are my two South Beach Diet cookbooks. I have the Quick & Easy and the original orange one. I don't really "do" the diet, I just use the recipes, substituting gluten-free things where necessary. I avoid a few things in the diet like the artificial sweeteners and things, but the entree and soup recipes in there are great. Fast, Healthy, Delicious and easy to make gluten-free. Love it.

I'll second the nomination for "Cooking Free" We're gluten, casein, and egg free and almost every recipe can be used without substitutions. It's the easiest for me to use, and has removed a lot of the guesswork as to which egg substitution to use.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to...

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability...

      Orgain Protein Powder

      I've not tried the product, but it is definitely possible that it contains barley and wheat grass, and is gluten-free. I would imagine that they are regularly testing their product for gluten content, since they are making the claim that their product is gluten-free. I personally avoid these ingredients, but some celiacs do consume them without issues. PS...

      By Erain · Posted

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost all food there have gluten so I was going very hungry. They do offer a gluten free menu with a report though. So I decided I should try getting a diagnosis if I can, especially after reading how it was much harder to do gluten challenge after quitting gluten for a while. I was able to get an appointment for next week, and started eating around 150gr of bread per day to be sure.  First 24 hours I didn't feel any worse so I was starting to doubt myself, but then bloating hit hard. It wasn't anything unbearable, but the problem is I have finals soon and I'm now realizing this is a really bad time to do this. I can't begin studying from pain distracting me. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment and eat low gluten until exams are over.  I worry about one thing. Before I went low gluten, I was eating a lot of bread already for over a month, which is what clued me into gluten, and I only went low gluten for around 10 days before going high gluten again. I wasn't that worried about a false negative. But if I eat low gluten until my exams are over, it means over a month of low gluten, and I would need a lot more time eating high gluten later to get a correct result.  I'm not sure which one should I do, bear it until my appointment or cancel it and try again when I'm free later. And If I choose the second one, how long would I need to do the gluten challenge for a blood test?

She does not have issues with it.
