“Just go for the naturally gluten free products and avoid the GF section you’ll save up money” (hear me out)
Yes it’s a thing and you will save up money this way but god dammit even with that the options are limited cuz companies would put gluten in everything it’s not fair that i have to cook stuff from scratch just to save up money when I’m depressed and can barely eat! Would it not be nice to have cheap frozen food in hand when i’m that depressed!! Wouldn’t be nice to have GF products that aren’t tiny and expensive!!! Istg this disease is making my depression even worse! At this point I’m just wondering how tf I’ll survive from month to month
Seriously? At a nutrition conference?
I’m literally at a nutrition conference, and the gluten free lunch option had a regular cookie placed on top 🙄 And yes, I told them I was gf when I registered for the conference :(
Gouda Babybells
🚨 ‼️ PSA ‼️ 🚨
Just thought it would only be right of me to share some new information to the GF community since i don’t gate-keep as that’s the whole point of my account:)
If you take a Gouda (must be Gouda!!) babybell cheese round, and eat it with the GF snyder’s pretzel sticks… it almost tastes like those little pretzel snack packs with the trashy cheese?? I miss little trashy snacks sometimes and bc they hold nostalgic memories. This one was super unexpected just now as I was just trying to enjoy some cheese and my mind was blown 🧀 🥨
Okay that’s all for now 💛 🧑🍳
Doctors laugh in my face
Every time I go to a doctor (ex. Occupational therapist, orthopedist) and explain to them how I lost use of my hand for one year and after I stopped eating gluten it came back and I haven’t had an issue with that specific thing since, they laugh in my face condescendingly, like I’m making up that very real and direct causation.
Just came here to say fck them. And thanks to this community for getting me at least.
Anyone tried these French toast sticks from Feel Good Foods?
Had these last week and don’t feel too good. Wondering if anyone had any issues with these?
Rum cake incident
Hi I’m new here still getting used to no gluten. I got a rum cake from my Jamaican friend and forgot I’m not supposed to have gluten. My tummy has been going wild 😭
Dealing with Body Changes? (TW- Discusses Weight)
Hi y’all! I have an issue that I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with, or maybe has some advice on. In the past 16 months, I’ve been glutened 3 times which is abnormally high for me. With each glutening, my body goes through so much pain that I tend to lose weight very rapidly. Because of getting so sick so often, I’ve lost a LOT a weight and it is very noticeable.
Here is my issue: people (esp my in-laws) love to comment on my weight and talk about how FABULOUS and SKINNY I look. I always feel so weird because I feel praised for looking “good” but I look that way because I was debilitatingly sick for months. Additionally, because of how rapid the weight loss has been, I feel disconnected from my body and don’t recognize myself some days.
Has anyone dealt with either of these issues and can give advice on how to cope?
test results
not asking for a diagnosis, just feeling really on edge about these results and wanted to let out some of the anxiety. i tried to research my results but i wasn’t really getting clear answers/am in denial. i just missed the call to discuss results with the nurse and i’m so anxious waiting until monday to call them back. i just dont understand how i could have celiac disease when i’ve never had a reaction to gluten :( i’ve been seeing a hematologist for iron deficiency anemia and she wasn’t even going to test for celiac until she changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to be sure we could rule it out
Is Kissing for Celiacs Gluten-Free? Study Weighs In
TLDR? Scientists say you’re safe, even if your kissy-face buttercup has more than 20 ppm of gluten in their spit.
Homemade butter toast
recipe is by king arthur (buttered toast) and flour is schär. i use instant yeast. i didn't have white vinegar so i just used less of vegetable vinegar. + bread from last week, king arthur recipe (artisan bread) and schär flour.
Certified gluten free liquors?
Hey guys I’ve stayed away from liquor since my diagnosis because I hear that they can be stored in old beer barrels contaminating it, I understand that distilled spirits like vodka and gin are safe to consume, but is there a specific brand you guys use? Any that you stay away from? Im working behind an abc store and want to get a bottle after work today. Thank you in advance
british beings, favorite store?
in your opinion which store has the greatest selection of free from foods?
this is a survey for my own curiosity, not any actual reason lol. i base my feelings on whichever store has the nicest bread of their own brand, but you can literally use whatever standards you want
for me, i'd say morrisons with tesco following in as a close second. they both have nice bread (seaded my beloved 😫) and overall their big stores have a nice selection (but that can also be said about asda, which is in third place). there's something about sainsburys that i just don't vibe with
Lowering Levels
I’ve been trying to get within a healthy range but I am unsure of what else I should be doing? I’ve maintained a strict gluten free diet. I do eat out but I’m very cautious of notifying my servers of my intolerance. When I drink it’s only hard seltzers or wine.
I do know some beauty products have gluten in them, however I’m new to this and I’m doubtful that it will have a HUGE impact on my levels since I’m not ingesting.
Disclaimer : I know everyone has different tolerances of gluten . I’m just looking for what has worked for you guys .
