Grits are made of corn (hominy is dried corn with the outer hull removed). Assuming they haven't been cross-contaminated they should be safe.

I love a good bowl of grits... with lots of butter :P

I would stay away from Quaker. They have CC issues.

Albers is a good one.

And these:

and Arrowhead Mills Grits

no gluten at all.

Also, you might try:

Cream of Buckwheat (100% wheat & gluten free)

Cream of Rice is good too! I just put a little bit of brown sugar in it, maybe some soy milk if it turned out to thick.

Wal-Mart Great Value brand is great, they come in single-serving packets. I generally stick to the plain flavor (I guess, non-flavored) because there are fewer artificial ingredients. You could also try Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal which is fabulous. Sometimes I just warm up leftover rice, buckwheat, etc., with soy milk, maple or agave syrup, dried fruit, nuts, etc. I love hot cereal!

Single-serving packets of grits are great to take to work for nice hot snack.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Coping with celiac

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
