Don't give up - gluten free is very doable!

I'm just figuring that I am gluten intolerate. I went to my neighborhood store (HEB) yesterday and to my surprise discovered that there was a whole aisle of gluten free products (funny what you don't see when you aren't looking :-). I spent a hour browsing for what would work for me!

My friends GI doc ordered her stuff. I'm guessing they would be more familiar with all the different tests for wheat allergies and celiac. I know with Celiac you don't want to go gluten free before the test because it can mess up the results. I don't know if it's the same with allergies but it's something to ask about.
My son gets tested for Celiac yearly. When I was looking into it I was surprised by how many things have gluten in them.

bump. gotta love gluten free!

You are correct. You can't go gluten free prior testing, you need gluten in your system. My dad was just diagnosed a couple of years ago with Celiac. Once you have a diagnosis, then it's ok. Hope that helps.

I'm to lazy to type them all out right now so here is a linky to my Pinterest board. It's all gluten free goodies.

I have an severe allergy to wheat (anaphylactic reaction) and have been eating wheat-free since the early 1980s. Over the years, I've tried just about every type of gluten-free food on the market and almost every recipe and alternate flour imaginable. I rely most on Roben Ryberg's cookbook The Gluten-Free Kitchen. I don't really have anything to compare it too, but most people that eat the recipes from her book can't tell the difference from "normal" food.

From a pasta perspective, I think Schar is the best, hands down. Most of the others, even Tinkyada, which some people rave about, are really grainy and mushy when cooked. For breads, Udi's bagels are awesome, though a bit high in calories. I too am able to buy most things at my local grocery store (HEB), and only go to Sprouts or Whole Foods for specialty items (like Food for Life brown rice tortillas).
