Gluten Intolerance

I have been trying to limit my gluten but I am still having issues. Does anyone have a list of foods that are gluten free or a list of places to look at for information? I am thinking of trying to go entirely gluten free.

Thanks

Re: Gluten Intolerance

my niece has celiacs and my sister in law has been going to uncle giussepies...they have a huge selection of gluten free products, but over time we have found so many foods that can be eaten and/or easily tweaked to be gluten free

chex cereals, gluten free rice krispies

rice pastas (tinkyada is good)

rice, arborio rice, risotto

rice and beans

potatoa latkes with corn starch instead of flour

crustless spinach quiche (3 egg yolks plus 2 whole eggs, 1/2 cup of grated baby swiss/muenster cheese, 1 box of frozen spinach drained well....mix up and make like you would pancakes (they will puff up and when cooked become firm) i've made them with more egg whites, but they get to runny when you are cooking them.

anything potato mashed, fried, baked, hash browns etc

you can make bread crumbs with gluten free bread....just take a few slices and bake/toast lightly and throw in the food processor then just make anything you would normally make with them (chicken cutlets, pork chops etc)

You can also use mashed potato flakes in lieu of breadcrumbs

meats

sauce

spaghetti squash

fish

Now that celiacs has become more well known, you'll be amazed of what you will find that is gluten free....let me know if you need more ideas.....I only needed one time for her to be at my house, where I was like crap....i have nothing for her to eat when my sis in law left 'her' food bag home....little did I know 80% of it she was able to....i was just looking for gluten free on the package. If you have any questions, let me know.

Here is a great resource...

Also keep in mind that gluten free diets are not friendly to you gut bacteria so try to incorporate yogurt or a probiotic pill into your diet. Another thing I would suggest is to introduce new flours slowly- I have found that certain bean flours, xanthan gum and sorghum flour do not agree with me- They are very binding and upset my stomach if I eat them frequently. I have found rice flour and quinoa flour are the best for me. Keep a food diary and note when you feel ill so you have a better idea of what upsets your stomach.

Re: Gluten Intolerance

Has a doctor diagnosed you with a gluten intolerance? I only ask because if you do have celiac disease & it hasnt been diagnosed yet - you really should not be cutting out the gluten yet. If you cut out the gluten & then get blood work done, the gluten antibodies wont show on the blood work.
