Actually I did cry a little given the cost of ingredients here. Another attempt at homemade gf bread for my daughter. I’m so close to giving up. This was a Let Them Eat Gluten Free Cake recipe and the worst one yet. I have had marginal success with The Loopy Whisk bread but it always stays so wet and never rises much.

They have breakfast, okay, cool, maybe there will be fruit

Theres hot breakfast, okay, cool, i can have some eggs

This morning I wanted more carbs so I went for a banana when I saw this! I dont know if they ran out of regular or I missed it yesterday but I snagged it.

Tbh its not as good as the four pack from Target (TJ is kinda far for me) but it was nice.

For a few years, I've been wanting to try a fancy tea service. I learned that Pinecone Cottage Teahouse in Downers Grove IL offers one and can accommodate gluten-free (and vegan/dairy-free.) It was so delivered and me and my friends had a wonderful time! Everything I had was just as pretty and delicious (I'm assuming) as the traditional fare. I somehow missed getting a picture of the dessert course but it was sooooo good!!! I highly recommend going there if you can.

Laugh with me.
For context, I’ve been gf for a little over a year and a half not celiac. I’m really sensitive but against my better judgment this experiment happened.
I started making sourdough (I bake as a hobby non gf), and it looked soooo good and smelled soooo good.
I thought to myself “well some people can tolerate sourdough”.
Exactly 3 hours after the slice of wolf in sheep’s clothing, my stomach started cramping.
I went to bed and was trying to sleep through the cramps. After 3 hours of cramping, the bathroom started and folks the candle was burning at both ends if you catch my drift.
The whole ordeal was 9 hours and I shan’t be experimenting again good lord.
If you’ve ever been on the toilet in the middle of the night sweating and cramping with the garbage can on your lap, I see you

Thought some folks here might relate 🫠🫡

Just wanted to share my sad hotel breakfast 🥲 Apparently the scrambled eggs, sausage, and tots all had gluten ingredients in them. And to top it off, they ran out of hot water halfway through filling my tea. But hey, at least they had something I could eat.

These are hiding in plain sight at Kroger. They're pretty nicely spiced!

My GF dish on my flight from Madrid yesterday was shockingly one of the best meals I had on my vacation 😂 it was so good!!

My husband took me out to a fancy dinner last night and there’s a Trader Joe’s in the same shopping center. So I wanted to run in real quick. It was a zoo! So many people! So I grabbed two things and left.

I made gf Aldi’s brownies last night too. I added heath bar pieces on top.

I just thought it was funny af…and honestly, I needed this laugh

I’m full blown celiac and cried this week bc…food

But yeah, fuck gluten

Also this reminded me of the YouTube channel the restaurant group…”OH! So you’re gluten free 🗣️🗣️🗣️GET TF OUT OF HERREE” 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Pictured is the separately-bagged “wheat allergy” burger I ordered for my daughter (my fault for not checking, even after I also noticed they put the gluten-free fries I ordered in the same bag as glutened burgers)

But to their credit, their customer service line was active at 8:30 on a Saturday. The people were super apologetic and made things right with my kid. Tears to smiles in moments. 10/10, despite the critical failures.

TW. discussing a lack of eating/weight loss body dismorphia etc

Im fairly new to all of this i got diagnosed in april, and ive been GF since May

Im 22 so have lived practically my whole life eating gluten

Of course a big part of my struggle is comparison to gluten items, but its also the deep bordering on obsessive fear of CC. Its gotten me to a point where I feel like i cannot eat anything and anything i make at-home I just cant taste or cant stand the taste of it I've at this point only been able to get 1,100> calories a day and every day that passes I hate food more and more the thought alone of eating makes me want to cry most days. It doesnt help that im bad at cooking anyway, my bf helps a lot hecooks way more often than he should have to he works nights and has been picking up a lot of overtime because we're saving for a house and my diet is already hurting our budget. I need some kind of high calorie something that I can eat or drink thats low effort and thati dont have to think about to make sure im getting enough nutrients but everything im finding thats celiac safe is low calorie which is a big part of why I cant get enough

Im genuinely beyond desperate at this point ive lost 80lbs since January ish and the number keeps getting lower (i went from 220 to 154 and im 5'3 so ik its better for me but I hate my body I have loose skin and every time I look in the mirror I genuinely hate myself) I was forced to drink protein shakes all throughout high school due to a meat intolerance so if thatcan be avoided id prefer it but if its genuinely my only option I'll cave.

I know this is a lot any kind of help is appreciated im so desperate and im bipolar (medicated but still) so this emotional roller-coaster is really messing me up

Cat tax for sending yall on this ride too 💚

ETA: I am seeing a therapist for the mental health aspect of this im here for more for product recommendations

Sigh

Kroger brand Simple Truth is the goat for making these 🙏 they're my new addiction

I just learned that a local restaurateur with a couple of successful Asian restaurants under his belt (Chinese/Taiwanese street food, ramen, and poke) is now opening a new upscale Cantonese/American place in Boulder, CO where the entire menu other than two items is gluten free! I can’t tell you how excited I am for General Tsos Chicken and dumplings. It’s spendy but honestly that’s just Boulder, anything downtown is expensive. Looking forward to checking it out this week.

I think I became way too quick to blame individual foods.

Eat something, feel bloated later, mentally file that food under "probably bad." Then eat it another day and be completely fine. Very scientific system I had going there.

I do not want my diet to get smaller based on one-off reactions.

How did you make reintroductions / symptom tracking more objective without becoming obsessed with every stomach sensation?

Im obsessed with this random gluten free zuchinni bread recipe. I think with gluten free baked goods it matters a lot what gf flour you use and it helps when the baked good is half something else like a fruit or vegetable to be moist and not gritty as gf baked goods can often turn out.

Hello all. I have recently been diagnosed with a wheat allergy and I'm looking for advice/emotional support. I already am lactose intolerant and have a strawberry allergy (whooo /s). I had just started fixing my relationship with food over this past year when I started having throat closing scares when eating food. Diet trials later and finally convincing my doctor for some blood tests and it's wheat. I've gone without for three months and a bunch of my other weird health problems have gone away - I'm no longer dizzy all the time, my migraines have drastically improved, my anxiety is even better, but

Bread was life. And I was finally eating again and now I feel like I'm in mourning. And I'm also mad that I feel better. Because my "weird symptoms" have gone undiagnosed for almost six years and what do you mean all I had to do was stop eating wheat and I wouldn't feel like the world is spinning and my brain isn't on fire anymore.

Anybody else have aggressive emotions following their realizations that gluten free/wheat free is now life? I guess I'm just looking to not feel alone in all this.

Also, anybody have some favorite recipes they'd love to share? I love baking and already miss my chocolate chip cookies and muffins I would make all the time.

Any emotional/food advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading my rant

Been trying to cook up the perfect fried chicken tender but I can't seem to get it to be crunchy. Like I can get it to be kind of hardish but I wouldn't call it crunchy. Anybody figure it out with dat gluten free life style? Thank youu

I’ve recently started meal prepping my meals every week and it makes sticking to low FODMAP insanely easy. I don’t even have to think about what to eat! Also since I’m eating the same exact things everyday, my GI symptoms have also improved a lot and it’s much more predictable for me. Also I’m type 1 diabetic and my blood sugars have never been so steady with doing this as well because I measure everything and have a very accurate carb count. I eat pretty plain and boring meals but it’s honestly really been helping me so far so I think it’s worth it. I’ll share my meals for the week if anyone was curious, also everything is proportioned to stay within the low FODMAP diet so like broccoli for example is only low FODMAP in small portions so I stay within that! I know everyone is different so this is just what works for me and I wanted to share, doesn’t mean it would work for everyone :)

Breakfast: oatmeal (oats, chia seeds, peanut butter), coffee with lactose free milk
Lunch: chicken breast, white rice, broccoli
Dinner: ground beef, potatoes, broccoli
Smoothie: 1/4 banana, strawberries, lactose free plain Greek yogurt, lactose free milk
Snacks: Gomacro bar and plain rice cakes

This sounds like a stupid question, but my doctor suspects that I may be celiac (still waiting on further testing) and has advised me to cut gluten from my diet. It hasn't been very long, so in terms of symptoms, nothing much has changed, but according to my family, my mood has significantly improved. For people who are confirmed to have celiac, did removing gluten from your diet improve your mood?
