My gluten-free Product Trial And Error Results

Hey all! I am a newbie to the gluten-free lifestyle and wanted to share my gluten-free product trial and error results with you (it gets rather expensive, so I figured I might as well let someone else benefit from my mistakes and discoveries...lol). I will list some of my fave products, some of my least fave and anything in between. Feel free to list your recommendations to me as well so we can avoid purchasing the less tasty items....lol.

Favorites and mediocres (so far) (all certified and/or labeled gluten-free)

French Meadow Bakery gluten-free products...awesomely good (www.frenchmeadow.com)! :wub:

Schar white bread toasted only!

Chebe brand bread dough mixes (www.chebe.com)....super good!

Glutino brand snack products (www.glutino.com): pretzels, lemon wafers and chocolate wafers are very good (but rather expensive)!

Food for Life gluten-free English Muffins are ok, but not something I liked as much as other products

Eckrich Beef Bologna (labeled gluten free and my local grocer's deli cuts it on a gluten free slicer)

Wilson brand Turkey Pepperoni

Hormel Turkey Pepperoni (I make awesome pepperoni rolls from this along with the Chebe bread dough and basil pesto sauce!)

Thai Kitchen products made with rice noodles and labeled gluten-free

DeBoles brand gluten-free pastas and pasta dishes such as gluten-free rice mac and cheese

Amy's Kitchen gluten-free products

Rice Works rice chips: Salsa and Parmesan Sun Dried Tomato flavors

San-J wheat free tamari sauce

Grainaissance Raisin Cinnamon Mochi (baked and puffed up nice and fluffy/crispy...very good for breakfast...takes 8 minutes to bake)

Not so favorites:

Food for Life brown rice bread

Schar bread untoasted (blah)

Rice Works chips: Spicy Chili flavor

Glutino Cheese flavored crackers

any heavy, sticky textured brown rice bread

So, hopefully this list will help someone out there who, like me, is a newbie to the gluten-free lifestyle and wondering how gluten-free products taste and if they are worth the buy. Anyone have any other suggestions as to great-tasting gluten-free products that mimic their gluten containing counterparts? Anyone out there know of any certified gluten free cheese? We LOVE cheese in our house!

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.

      I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!

      Bless your heart!  That does make for a bumpy journey!  The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief.  I was surprised at how well it works.  I can't recommend it enough.  I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids.   Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet?  Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and fluid.

      Thank you!  I will have to look into that.  I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.

      Welcome to the forum, @trsprecker, I needed daily pain relief for three crushed vertebrae and found out that Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Cobalamin (Vitamins B 1, B 6, and B12) have an analgesic effect.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   This is the one I order through that big online store... It's made in Japan.  I've been taking it for a couple of years now without problems.   GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets I don't do corn, nuts nor artificial sweeteners, either!    Keep us posted on your progress!
