the longest i've been able to go without getting glutened is a couple weeks at a time, max. and it takes like 2 weeks for me recover, and longer every time it happens. i'm so tired of this. i have no quality of life rn. i think living completely alone would solve the problem for the most part, cuz it's mainly cross contamination i think. so i guess i will just try get to that point. idk 😭 i know this is gonna give me worse health issues if i can't get it in order soon aaaa

Might be a bit niche, but hopefully there's a few Welshies in this group! I'm craving a bit of bara brith to go with a cup of tea, but I don't have the faintest clue how you'd go about making it gluten free. I feel like the tea in it might throw off the consistency somewhat, so I wouldn't feel confident just improvising.

It's definitely possible, as I was bought a lovely one by my mother once, but it cost about £20 so won't be happening again anytime soon.

Please send recipes, advice, ideas, help if anyone has any! Diolch!

Hey all, I’m in college and my town has little to no gf friendly restaurants or shopping (no Trader Joe’s, Costco, etc) We do have a target and I have my go to list of safe foods that I buy weekly when I grocery shop. As we well know, gf options are already just generally more pricey (I have learned to live with this as there’s literally nothing we can do about it) but I’m getting sick of eating the same shit every day. What are everyone’s go-to budget friendly snacks/recipes/advice from their college days? Put me on!!!

I know for gluten people what I’m about to say isn’t the normal. But I’m wishing the thanksgiving I had for everyone else.

I usually volunteer to work holidays so I don’t have to pretend I’m not hungry when food is passed around. I did the same this year but the family planned thanksgiving at four so I would be off in time. I was making the cream corn and the hostess had been texting me all week to check ingredients. So at this point I knew I could eat the turkey and the mashed potatoes and the corn. And that’s all I wanted honestly. I grabbed a bottle of wine on the way and I was set.

When I got there another one of the “cooks” welcomed me and walked me through the kitchen telling me what I could eat and which dishes to avoid and what he did to ensure it was safe. I almost cried right there. The only thing I couldn’t eat was stuffing which I don’t even like. They put buns at a table in a different room and the stuffing was at the end of the line so no one would mix it with the other food. It was wonderful. I ate so much food and no reactions the next day. I finally for the first time in about 10 years had a turkey coma on thanksgiving.

And this is my husbands family. I married into a wonderful family who goes above and beyond. When we go to college football games they make sure there is food at tailgating and drinks for me.

So I am wishing this on all my gluten free family in this sub. Cause “in the club we all fam”.

Sorry for long title. Long story short, after years of being told constant nausea and acid reflux were a part of anxiety, I cut out gluten and in about a week it changed my life.

I’ve been gluten free for about a year now, and as of today I’m eating gluten again ahead of my endoscopy. After talking to the specialist he seemed pretty convinced I probably have celiac disease, but obviously those same symptoms can exist with just sensitivity/intolerance.

For those of you who had one done and it came back negative, what are your symptoms like when you eat gluten? And did you do further testing to find out you have another condition? I guess right now I’m thinking of both possibilities (either being celiac or non-celiac), and if it comes back that I don’t have celiac I want to make sure my sensitivity/intolerance is not caused by something else. I’m not sure what follow up questions to ask, or what specifically I should request to be screened for.

Also accepting ideas for what to eat. Smashed some McDonald’s, have a headache, nausea, and some stomach cramps but it was soooo good. My doctor said about 2 slices of bread worth a day for two weeks.

Hi guys. I'm New to gluten free but I'm also dairy free and can't eat eggs. Does this bread look okay for both vegan and gluten free? Tastes fine but I think it should look better. I've attached pics and the recipe.

Hello, roughly 5 years ago i underwent a huge life changing stress that made me depressed and under heavy pressure for most of a year.

Not long after things have buzzed out, i started having digestive issues. I was in pain, stress, diarrhea for no obvious reason. It took me another year to even consider that i could be lactose intolerant, i almost didnt finish my studies, couldnt get job, but i got tested for lactose specifically and it came back positive with a diagnose that i am lactose intolerant. After that, things simmered down for circa 2 years and i started encountering another batch of issues.

For no obvious reason my stomach(right in the middle, closely below the central bone in rib cage, that connects all the ribs together/basically above stomach) i get intense stabbing pain, that makes me useless for several days, i cant eat, i am nauseating, heavily bloated without it getting out, drained out of energy.

I made the mistake of reading google threads and forums where it pointed towards kidney stones, gallbladder stones, stomatitis, stomach ulcer, cancer of bunch of sorts, intestinal inflammation and so on.

I underwent gastroscopic and endoscopic examinatons, ultrasound examination that all lead to me being absolutely healthy.

So every doctor started pointing towards stress issues and i started doubting myself and lost all and any confidence in myself. I was preparing to become a policeman, but lost all motivation because i thought i am broken.

Few weeks back i encountered same type of pain and issues again, but this time i had to be transported to hospital because of how intense the pain was. I went to complete torso RTG examination, complete torso ultrasound examination which yet again, showed no results.

The doctor mentioned stomach disfunction in relation to celiac disease or gluten intolerance. So i started monitoring my reactions, i stopped eating gluten for a week or so and i seemingly improved. Last 2 days i tried to add gluten to my food and it got to me again. Same pain and consequences. I am quite positive about being gluten intolerant, i am getting tested this week to see whats up.

One way or another, i am quite sure its the gluten and i dont know what to do. I cant consume much of dairy products and gluten consited majority of my daily food income. I have no idea how to deal with this, i am kinda starving and eating some cornbread, fruits and vegetables, i am not a fan of potatoes. Rice is great but i am afraid of getting sick of rice if thats all i am eating. I need some tips, help, any informations anyone can provide me if my deduction is correct or if i am wrong, i really need some guidance, i had no idea where else should i ask. Sorry for the long text and sorry for any grammar mistakes and typos, english isnt my native language.

Thank you in advance in case anyone is going to respond.

My mum is gluten free and is constantly looking for some kind of sweet food that isn't super sweet and has no chocolate in it (and is gluten free). I'm not 100% sure what it is she's after other than flapjacks and was hoping maybe someone on here would know where to look or have any ideas. I'd love to get her something for christmas. Thanks in advance! (Just remove this if it's the wrong place to post!)

either the manufacturer discontinues them or the local grocery just stops stocking them and i end up having to find alternatives (which is hard because im such a picky eater)

Ever miss the corn dog from the county fair? These are real good. I just bake them, don't have a fryer, and it's pretty darn good.

I used to love that shit but I haven’t been able to find it in AGES. Had it been discontinued? If so, is it straight up discontinued or just so in Canada? (I am SO willing to drive across the border to buy my favourite cereal lol)

My wife has had two negative blood tests for Celiac but has a LOT of the symptoms. Neither of her doctors has recommended an endoscopy but I think it may be time to explore that given research about false negative blood tests. Has anyone in the United States who has private insurance had experience with this? Can you just ask your doctor to make a referral? Did you have to convince them or were they open to it?

When I consume anything whole-grain - Bread, pasta etc, my anxiety gets much worse and I develop stomach issues. Eating white bread or pasta doesn’t cause these issues. Obviously going overboard with gluten in general will trigger brain fog and other issues but if I keep it limited then I’m ok, but it can’t be whole-grain!! Can anyone relate to this or tell me why it might be happening? Whole-grains are supposed to be way better for you from what I’ve read!!!

Hi everyone.

I've recently tracked a lot of my physical issues from the last 5 years to gluten intolerance. I was tested for Celiac, but it came back negative. However, after some scientific method I'm convinced it's my issues. I was also wondering if anyone finds dairy also being an issue, as I'm trying to get to the absolute bottom of all this.

So whenever I (31 y.o.) eat gluten, within 1.5 hours of consumption, I get intense brain fog and intense fatigue. It’s definitely accompanied by stomach discomfort, (and sometimes something that feels like nausea but isn’t), and I tested negative for celiac.

The gastroenterologist ran a -lot- of tests, I had to give 9 stool samples, and nothing. My white blood cell count was a little high, but that’s literally it. When this started happening I wasn’t able to absorb all the vitamins I needed from food, so my gut microbiome was clearly affected. D3 and iron were really low, etc.

The gastroenterologist diagnosed me with IBS, but the brain fog and fatigue symptoms are way worse than the digestive ones right now. Near the beginning before I cut out gluten I was getting hot flashes, blood pressure vacillation, and more intense constipation. I was also having headaches pretty regularly, but those have stopped.

I know Reddit isn’t a doctor, but has anyone had anything similar? It’s really frustrating that IBS is a “we don’t know what’s wrong with you, but your stomach is weird” diagnosis.

Has anyone had success making their own GF pasta without eggs? Our family has been Jovial loyalists for years but I just recently received an order of pasta only to find that it now has a may contain eggs warning on it (heads up for any other GF/egg-free folks out there). Half of us are allergic to eggs so we'll be needing to find an alternative, preferably one as tasty as Jovial.

One. Just one. Tiny lil thing, the Cobra flavor.

TMI warning.

This is my fault because when I went to double-check it before eating, I saw it contained wheat. I ate one anyway because I was really excited about the flavor. Just one.

Big. Mistake. It wasn't even worth it! It tasted like a less spicy, more limey version of the Fuego takis (which also contain wheat btw) and I didn't really care for it.

I genuinely thought the amount of wheat in ONE taki would barely affect me. Boy was I wrong.

I've puked three times since yesterday. Trips to the toilet are so bad they have me in tears.

I had to hold a bucket while on the toilet last night.

I'm so bloated I'm in physical pain, and my stomach is as hard as a rock.

Over. ONE. Goddamn. Taki.

I gotta own it because I did this to myself, but damn I was NOT expecting this severe of a reaction from a miniscule amount of wheat.

Does this mean I should be more careful about cross-contamination, too? I don't have celiac or an allergy, just an intolerance.

Anyway don't pull a stupid like I did, it's not worth it. I can feel the next throw up session creeping up underneath my chin as I type.

wish me luck pls I'm in pain and am not having a good time rn

edit: why did I get downvoted? lol guess someone else is having a bad day, too. I see you friend. 🫡

Hi guys! I’m looking for a staple gluten free Christmas cut-out cookies recipe. One where the cookies actually hold their shape, and they taste good!

Kind of like cheese, or simply wheat grains or flour that have unique bacteria on it, is there anything organic on a finished, baked product like organic remnants or whatever?

Now, this is just a loose question and will probably get downvoted or get “no” or “that’s not how the body works” comments, fine, but I thought of how some studies show that IBS may possibly be triggered by bacteria literally hiding in intestinal layers that are very hard to detect or even remove. Some studies even ask if gluten really is a problem for everybody, and that it isn’t a reaction to a certain carbohydrate.

I know we’re all convinced it’s just and only gluten; but what if it isn’t? So I thought, what if uhm, some of us react to… the bacteria on food? Weird? Is this a dumb way of thinking? Like the immune system reacts to specific bacteria, whether in the gut or even earlier. Yeah it’s not an infection, but, what if our own bacteria are reacting to something organic that is causing a toxic reaction not related to gluten?

Anyway…

So I have been gluten free (celiac) for about 13 years now and the one thing I could never come close to creating are fluffy cinnamon rolls. Until now!!

So I do get a lot of my recipes and ideas from instagram. But this creator “myglutenfreeguide” posted that she recommended this specialty gluten free bread flour. Caputo Fioreglut. And I used this same flour to make cinnamon rolls.

For the first time ever, they actually rose! They were light and fluffy instead of dense heavy scones. They were perfect!!

Ps I did order King Arthur gf bread flour. It didn’t compare. At all. Last Christmas my cinnamon rolls with this caputo flour came out better and fluffier than the cinnamon rolls I made for my husband using regular flour. I highly recommend you give it a try! For tortillas, cinnamon rolls, pastries. All your bread needs (not cake).

Just wanted to share
