STOP reading useless sites about Celiac disease. Don't waste your time searching for answers just ask me. And tell me how your figured out how you became a Celiac. My mother is a chef and is very creative with her food. She has already made a couple of wheat free gluten free dishes. And please share any dishes you have created yourself and I will share my dishes with you. Celiac disease is a disease that damages your stomach lining, and your small intestine. Celiac disease is very common today because company's have put wheat and gluten in everything you eat. Gluten is the sticky substance found in the wheat plant, gluten is also found in rye and barley. Gluten is what holds most of your foods together. Some food brands I recommend are "Bob's Red Mill, Earth balance, Amy's, Blue Diamond, So Delicious, Ian's Natural Foods, Tom's of Maine." "Bob's Red Mill" is something you will have to get because their powders will replace normal flour and etc. The powders from "Bob's Red Mill" are the Xanthan gum, Tapioca, and the Sorghum flour, those are all wheat free gluten free. The "Earth Balance" butter is really good, I bake with it and cook with it. "Amy's" is the best, their macaroni and cheese is really good and their wheat free gluten free pizza is really good too. "Blue Diamond" has great crackers for snacks. "So Delicious" is a great product to use, they have great Ice Cream the is wheat free gluten free and many other things that are great for celiacs! "Tom's of Maine" is really good, I use their tooth paste and other products. If trying to find a good wheat free gluten free tooth paste use "Tom's of Maine"! When you are a Celiac you have to be really careful of your bones because when you also have some Dairy intolerance too. To prevent broken bones you will want to take some multivitamins and a fiber supplement. But make sure you call the company and ask if it has wheat or gluten in it and it should not be manufactured with any wheat or gluten. Great stores to find wheat free gluten free products are "Whole Foods", and "Trader Joe's." "Whole Foods has a great wheat free gluten free bakery!!
this blog is going to be a great resource and help so many people. Thanks so much for doing this!
ReplyDeleteThank you. And if you have any questions you can just ask me.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I'm looking forward to your future posts!
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... Don't eat the Amy's THAI STIR-FRI. And I prefer Amy's Macaroni and Cheese.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... A really good snack is the Banana Bread from Whole Foods Wheat free Gluten free bakery.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like the look of something wheat free gluten free then don't eat Amy's Bistro Burger! It's not a burger.

ReplyDeleteSarbear this blog is such a great idea! I love your advice on all the Amy products, since I am lactose intolerant I also eat a lot of Amy's food. Thanks for all the advice!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Any time. You know that when you're a celiac you also have a dairy intolerance.
ReplyDelete"Enteromend." This will save you from a lot of pain because it will help your stomach digest the Wheat and Gluten. And it stops the reflex that happens when you eat Wheat or Gluten. Use this only if you ate Wheat and Gluten or if you think you ate it. And this product does not have any Wheat or Gluten in it! This is the website you can order it off of, and it may have it at Whole Food's. http://www.chineseherbsdirect.com/ And here is the name of the product "Enteromend."
ReplyDeleteRemember to have more snacks throughout the day. And have a lot of water.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... If you are still looking for a Wheat free Gluten free pizza I prefer Amy's cheese pizza.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... Try to keep track of what you eat every day either in a notebook or in your head. I prefer using a notebook because you can then just look back at what you ate and see if you need more of a certain food group or if your stomach hurts. It will make it a lot easier to figure out what made your stomach hurt if it did.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... If you think that you ate wheat or gluten do NOT panic. Freaking out just makes you even more stressed out. Staying calm is the best thing you can do for your self.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... Do not eat to much dairy, it will really make your stomach hurt. So if you feel that your stomach is telling you to stop eating dairy, then you should stop.
ReplyDeleteTodays tip is... Sometimes when you get sick it is really good for you to drink so "Gatorade" because of the electrolytes it has in it. And it does not have any Wheat or Gluten in it.
ReplyDeleteWhen you go on vacation like river rafing you should call the company and explain what a celiac is. And you should do the food shopping yourself because you know what you like. Also plan out what the meals are going to be every day on the trip.
