Wheat/Gluten free foods

I'm wheat intolerent too, and when I behave myself I feel so so much better. There are loads of wheat free products out now if you look around. I love spelt at the minute (find I have no reaction to it at all, but some people who are wheat intolerent do), there are lovely spelt and honey breads around. I also eat spelt pasta which only takes about 6mins to cook. Rice pasta and noodles are nice too. Don't worry too much about fibre, you should get that mainly from your fruit and veg.

Friend me if you like x

ohhh and be careful there is alot of hidden wheat out there. Especially in take away foods, many fast food places coat there chips (fries) in flour to give them a more even brown colour when cooked. Most chrisps also have flour. x

My youngest son was recently diagnosed with wheat, diary, and egg intolerances, along with a load of other allergies/intolerances. We've started using Betty Crocker brownies which are simply amazing, taste just like regular brownies, bisquick also makes a gluten free version, King Arthur flour has muffin mixes and flour mixes that are gluten free, Van's makes waffles (also dairy and egg free) in the freezer section, and we use heartland pasta. My kids love pasta and this taste like regular pasta to us. These are a few things we've used and we've adapted. We try to use almond or coconut milk but he doesn't like to drink either of those, he's so use to regular milk. He's able to have items that have eggs/milk in them as long as they're well cooked/baked. It's not easy, it's been a big adjustment and we're still getting used to it. I'm just glad his allergies aren't worse than they are even though we've been told they could get worse with time. He says he feels a lot better when he avoids the wheat, milk, eggs, oats, etc.

I like Pamela's gluten-free bread mix as mentioned above - it's really easy, moist, and tastes great to me. Was not a fan of Ezekiel at all.

There are super easy gluten-free sweet bread mixes made by Simply Organic, which I've bought from Whole Foods. Their banana or cranberry nut breads are too good, lol.

I use almond flour instead of wheat for making cookies and cakes.I think they come out even better, and almond flour is higher in protein and other nutrients too.

There are a bunch of good gluten free/wheat free products out there but you have to be careful because they tend to be higher in calories than regular breads. Udi's makes good bread products that aren't that crazy in the calorie side also trader joes has a brown rice tortilla that is around 130 calories. Good luck!

Homemade will always be better than what you can find on the shelf/in the freezer, in my opinion. I am now completely grain-free, so store-bought products are out for me anyway. I have lots of great recipes and am always looking for more.
