Anyone gluten free?

My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, so we are learning how to eat gluten free. The easiest thing is to stay as close as possible to whole foods in their natural state. Fruits, vegees, lean meats, none of these have gluten in them. Rice and quinoa are great for starches. You need to find a good flour blend that is gluten free and use that. Beware of hidden gluten - in things like gravy mixes, etc. There is a ton of information out there, and lots of gluten-free products popping up all over the place (though a little bit pricey). As well, we have noticed many restaurants now offering gluten-free menus. We have even found some rice beers that he actually enjoys (we have to go to the States to get it, but it's not that far a drive). Eating gluten-free is actually very easy to do - you just need to be aware of what is in the food you are eating. Good luck!

Hey!! Love to help, I'm gluten intolerant and live with a Celiac. Anything you need help with let me know! Definitely try to stick with whole foods! There are so many things that are quick and easy to make and are guaranteed gluten free. Gotta watch out for hidden gluten in processed foods and also make sure that if you buy the processed food that there's no possibility of cross contamination. Favorite flours to cook with are from Nuts.com: Almond Flour, Coconut flour, etc. If you check out some of the Paleo/Primal cookbooks for stuff it can help a lot. There are several blogs that I follow that help with recipes and going down the same pathway as myself. If you'd like to be a buddy on here just add away. I'm a definite Foodie so would love to share any recipes or advise that you need.

Gluten free for over 10 years. If you have any questions, feel free to write me. :-)

I am not sure were you live, but I was diagnosed maybe a year ago with Celiac disease. It has been a struggle still to date but manageable. I agree with the other poster spaghetti squash is amazing. Also make sure to check everything. I didn't realize for the first month that deli meat contains Wheat and Even several products. Make sure you know all the hidden names i.e barley, malt, oats. Depending in the severity you may have Oats I however can not. Also a weird product to check is Shampoo, mine actually contained wheat.
Where I am in Canada, kinnikinnick is very big as this is where the baking and everything takes place. Also Costco has just started brining in a new pasta, ( which i find similar to normal pasta) If not I would suggest corn pasta (it is a weird colour, but tastes good).
Also the book Wheatbelly is pretty good they have a informational book and cook book that has a lot of substitutions, if not you can by an all purpose flour (gluten free) which you can substitute for other favourite meals.
I hope this helps feel free to contact me, if need be!

Forget Kinnikinnik. Go with Glutino. Much better. Just watch your servings. Gluten free baked goods tend to be denser and higher in calories than their glutinous cousins. I've been gluten, nut and seed free for a couple of years now. I feel soooo much better. It's tough at first but then you realize that it's worth it and you find the brands that work. Progresso has some really good gluten free soups that are low cal - Manhattan Clam Chowder, Light New England Clam Chowder, Chicken and Rice. A can of soup and a serving of Glutino crackers makes a nice, filling low cal dinner.
