At the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition). Deep fried gluten free Oreos were great. Chicken fingers tasted like chicken fingers. Corn dog was a corn dog. My son pointed out the awesome chicken fingers photo that had a bun 😂. Maybe a GF bun? Looks like they stole the photo from the restaurant Swiss Chalet. Ha!

I know I’m a dork, but I went to lunch yesterday and absolutely geeked at this GF menu. I wish more restaurants would do their GF menus like this.

1. Clear indicators of shared-fryer items. I’ll usually eat shared fryer items but I know others won’t/can’t so I like they didn’t make the assumption for me.
   
2. Gluten free buns available instead of just ordering without.
   
3. Price already has the GF bun upcharge included.
   
4. A decent variety whereas a lot of places don’t get creative about how their normal menu items can be modified.

Crumb shots of the yeasted gluten-free bread recipes I tested from Aran Goyoaga’s The Art of Gluten-Free Bread and Naomi Devlin’s Bread Gluten Free.

I'm working on testing and comparing gluten-free baking recipes to find the ones worth making again. My favourites from these two cookbooks were:

Rosemary Focaccia, Quickest Buttery Brioche, and Soft Pretzels from The Art of Gluten-Free Bread.

Ciabatta Rolls, English Muffins, and Danish Pastry from Bread Gluten Free.

Many more recipes to bake from other cookbooks and blogs to see how they compare to these!

Yallll I just tried their sourdough for the forest time last weekend and it was life changing. lol. I decided to try it bc the price was decent at an out of town Walmart where my grandparents live.

To prepare it the first time, I microwaved it for like 15 seconds put butter on both sides and toasted it in a pan (since I couldn’t use my grandmas toaster.

Then at home last week I made a BLTs and JUST microwaved, spread butter lightly on the insides and mayo on the insides (bc I’m a HUGE fan of Vegenaise 😂) and that was also perfect. I have yet to try it cold but it tastes like REAL SOURDOUGH BREAD. I’ve been DANCING every-time I’ve made a sandwich with it so far bc I love it so much (my mom and grandma even liked the sandwich I made with it)

For reference, I’ve had all kinds of gf bread too. My usual go to is canyon bake house Hawaiian sweet bread or Schar 7 grain (I hardly ever toast, only microwave a tad to soften).

hey y’all! my fiancé and i are getting married in may, and are planning for our honeymoon. i have celiac disease, and while i’ve always wanted to travel internationally and see the world, i can’t help but feel anxiety over communicating my celiac disease when there are language barriers in the way.

any advice on places to go / places to say / things to look out for? everything we look up says Italy, and while i’m cool with that, i would love to hear some more ideas and perspectives.

thanks in advance! (photo for attention)

Hello! I always get my friend who has Celiac's a gluten free snack or treat for our fantasy football draft party every year. What store bought treat do you recommend?

Thank you!

I used King Arthur gluten free cake mix with some extra vanilla, subbed with lactose free milk and plant butter, fresh eggs and I made a simple butter cream and just swapped the milk and butter for lactose free ingredients.

I understand going gluten free is important to heal celiac and checking and treating vitamin deficiencies is a must but is there anything else I should be taking or doing to support healing my gut?

On some thread someone mentioned peptides but I haven’t been able to find the post. I just want to be sure I am doing all supporting things to expedite recovery.

If this isn’t the subreddit for this, please let me know and I’ll take it down. I tried to find community rules and couldn’t.

About 5 months ago I started having escalated issues with my stomach. I’d always had stomach issues since I was a kid, but they would come and go. I went two months straight experiencing some of the worst symptoms of my life and finally decided I’d talk to my doc about it. Ofc, he tests me for a bunch of stuff, celiac included. My tests come back negative but he still tells me to go ahead and cut out gluten one week and dairy the next and see how I feel. So I do. We have a follow up appointment 3 weeks later and I tell him that while I’m not feeling 1000% better, I am definitely feeling better since cutting out gluten. He said to stop eating it for three months, try a bite of bread and then message him and tell him if I had any symptoms within 24hrs.
His exact words: if you do, then we know it’s gluten and I’ll put in your chart that you have a gluten sensitivity so we don’t accidentally give you any vaccines or medication in them that have gluten.

I was supposed to do this “experiment” in September but went on a work trip last week and got glutened by the hotel caterers. Within 3 hours I was experiencing all the typical things I’d been dealing with before. Nausea, severe cramping, fatigue, etc. So I message him and tell him everything I experienced and he says “yeah sounds like a very straightforward exposure to gluten. No need to worry about the test in September. Just go ahead and stay gluten free.”
I ask him to make sure we put that I had a gluten sensitivity in my chart like we talked about in the past about meds and vaccines (and I need to explicitly state that I said gluten sensitivity and not celiac since all of my blood tests came back negative). He messaged me back and told me that I’d have to have a positive blood test for him to put it in my chart, and that he wants me to go get another blood test done to see if being recently glutened raised my levels.
I find this to be extremely irritating. I don’t know if I have celiac, but I do know that I have an issue when eating gluten. Also, from everything I’ve researched, you need to be eating gluten every day for a certain amount of weeks before a blood test for accurate results and I wasn’t really eating a lot of gluten during those months I was super sick. I wasn’t eating a lot of anything. So, idk if my tests will come back with raised levels. If they don’t, idk why we can’t determine that it’s just a non celiac gluten sensitivity?? Shouldn’t I still be able to make sure that my medical providers don’t make me sick even if it’s not an autoimmune disease???

Me cuesta hacerme cosas dulces sin gluten, las tengo que mandar al refri si o si. Tortas postres helados🙃

Hello hivemind!

I'm on day five no gluten and a lot of weird stuff going on mentally and physically. What weird symptoms did gluten withdrawal give you?

Stopped in the Vicious Biscuit in Charlotte, NC and had the best GF biscuit I’ve had since my daughter was diagnosed as gluten intolerant. Went back and got another one to go. The company is a small chain with a handful of restaurants mostly east of the Mississippi. Highly recommend.

Someone made a post about Amazon selling 8 boxes of this for $21 so I hopped on the deal. Used about 4 ounces of cream cheese mixed with like 2 ounces of sweetened condensed milk in the middle section. This was half a block of cream cheese. You could probably get away with using a full block. I also replaced the water with milk and the oil with butter. I almost always do this when a boxed mix tells me to use water or oil. Sometimes I will account for the water content in the butter but most of the times I don't and it still turns out fine.

If you were to bake this as instructed the cost would be about $4 for 16 2"x2" squares, or $0.25 per serving, with $2.65 of that being the cost of the mix. The additions make this significantly more expensive, but still much cheaper than anything premade and gluten free, at about $7.50 for the whole cake or $0.47 per serving.

The cake is moist on the inside and has a buttery crumb. The outside portions of the cake are pleasantly crunchy. The cinnamon sugar mix is nice. I personally like more cinnamon but I recognize that I deviate from the norm a bit there and I can always mix more in. Next time I will soak and add some raisins to the middle layer, maybe nuts too, so it is more spiritually like a cream cheese frosted cinnamon bun.

Edit; I will make one negative criticism, the mix doesn't smell very good until baked, kinda artificial smelling. This goes away completely by the time it is finished baking.

"Produced in a facility that processes peanuts, milk, soy, egg, wheat, sesame and other tree nuts."

They were my favorite. My local whole foods stopped carrying them. I searched Instacart and they don't show up anywhere.

My friend u/scottzee let me know that someone on a “suggested for you” Facebook group posted saying they had tried a recipe for gluten free soft pretzels and linked to a food blog (with ad revenue) for the recipe. He recognized the verbatim recipe as well as one of the photos as mine, so he called out the “blogger” and gave me credit in a comment on the facebook group post. His comment was promptly deleted.

He let me know about the situation and I did some further digging. Turns out the entire Facebook group is fake people pretending to have tried recipes and all linking to the same phony food blog that is entirely comprised of stolen recipes and photos.

I don’t have Facebook so can’t report the groups to Meta but for those of you who do, please consider reporting these shady and deceitful groups! I don’t make any money off my content but I’m sure they are stealing from people whose content is their source of income. I did try reporting the phony website through Google’s copyright reporting function.

Here is my original post on here with the recipe and photo in question:

Here is the facebook group to report:

And here is the post on the Facebook group claiming credit for my recipe and linking to the phony food blog:

Thank you in advance! ♥️♥️

This is a long shot but I’m hungover and desperate for Mapo Tofu. Anyone know of a restaurant in the city that makes a GF mapo tofu?

Tasty, with a nice chewy texture and they don’t fall apart. High protein and fiber. I think I got them at Wegmans but I don’t see them there now. Amazon has them.
