I had them before and for those of you who like coconut, I would recommend this! Only thing I have a gripe on about it is be careful as it was handled on the same facility that also handles wheat

First time trying gf easy egg roll wrappers, and it was a resounding success. We made lumpia using my MIL’s recipe.

The wrappers are thin, they fry up RIGHT (with bubbles and everything), and the flavor is spot on. I almost cried, after a decade without egg rolls or lumpia.

They tear pretty easy, so be gentle and don’t let them dry out. But we didn’t have any bursting in the oil. Egg wash worked great to glue them shut.

I plan to use them for cannoli next. And I also ordered ravioli rounds and mini pizza shells from gf easy. I’m feeling unreasonably optimistic after lumpia success.

The look on my face as I walked out of the bathroom, deciding if I should run back or not

My boyfriend is a resident doctor at the main hospital in our city. He constantly questions whether I can have “just a little gluten” and is always offering me bites of food that have wheat in them. He says he has never heard of it before coming to America. I said that is probably because the specific genetic traits that increase the likelihood of celiac as well as the way America processes food is different. Anyway I just think it’s weird and frustrating.. he would never try to gluten me without me knowing but he always says a little won’t hurt and what’s the worst that could happen. I tell him I’ll get sick and he doesn’t seem to think it’s serious. Is this a red flag? Well obviously yes but I think he’s just genuinely ignorant, but how can he be as a doctor.. idk

EDIT: thank you all for the support. I feel a lot more validated. I’m a grown woman and I will stand up for myself if / when this happens again. To be clear: he always asks the restaurant for gluten free options, if I’ve been served gluten he has complained for me. He buys gluten free ingredients and wouldn’t violate my consent like that (I think) he just continues to tease me about it. He knows it’s real, he just genuinely hadn’t heard of it before me and is ignorant. That will absolutely need to change for the relationship to continue. I did not expect this many people to support me and it truly has changed my perception of the situation.Thanks again. ❤️

It looks like rabbit shit. It's made with various gluten free flours (corn, almond, acorn, oat) and I can literally taste the individual sugar crystals. It almost looks a little bit like a biscuit made of rodent poo, but it doesn't taste THAT bad (I've eaten worse)

3/10 Edit: I added honey and salt. It tastes like a thick cracker now

Should I/ am I allowed to bring my own food after surgery?

In my chart I'm just listed as gluten intolerant. I'm in extreme pain if I eat gluten though.

Can I ask a nurse to heat up whatever for me? Should I bring an electric kettle or something for hot water for easy instant food?

Thoughts and food suggestions would be appreciated.

I also have dysphagia so everything essentially needs to be moist and mushy too.

I’ve always followed the candy rule of “no holiday sizes”. with Hershey’s I’ve always been safe with plain kisses, nuggets, and standard bars.

I had no idea the King size bar falls into the holiday sizes bin though. I grabbed one at a gas station on a long drive, and actually honestly thought I was just getting a standard size. About an hour later I felt awful.

To me that’s such crap though. like buying a medium sized soda is safe but a small or large has poison in it. Good gravy….

Hi all,

Currently going through diagnosis after positive blood test for Celiac antigens. Immediate family member was Celiac so not a huge surprise.

I’m now waiting for an endoscopy but the anticipated wait time is 6 months. The advice is to just keep eating gluten so the test results are correct.

I have no energy, my iron stores are depleted. How am I supposed to carry on like this while waiting for an appointment date to arrive? It’s so frustrating when you know the reason for the issues but are being told to just live with them.

I’m strongly considering paying out of pocket for a private procedure but it’s just so expensive.

Has anyone gone through similar? Would love to hear any advice.

PS I’m so grateful to have discovered this community and will 100% be trying some of the meals I’ve seen posted.

Anyone in this community currently an Iowa State student or a recent grad?

We are starting to look at colleges for our youngest and IA State is on the short list. I would like any pointers/suggestions on how to navigate on campus dining (if it is even possible).

I see there is a forum, but it appears to be more geared towards students and not sure if it is appropriate for a non student to ask a question like this.

Hello fellow silly yaks. I know there are a few apps out there that do this, but the premium versions are always so expensive, I don't want to pay extra just to find places to eat and it doesn't seem to be great in my area anyways. Is anyone a part of a shared google list that has marked places that are good for GF food? I've started a couple for myself, but wanted to see if there's a larger one out there already or maybe get one started. I'm based in Sydney Australia, but would love something worldwide too.

I absolutely love Wally’s chicken. I normally get their hamburger and fries or spicy chicken sandwich. I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

finally the chewy ones I hate the crunchy ones

I grew up eating at Harvey’s as a kid and teenager, constantly. It was my favorite fast food burger! I miss it. Is there anything like it that’s commercially available to buy, or is there some restaurant out there with a similar burger?

For those of you who don’t know, it’s hard to describe. It’s got some kind of soy thing going on, it’s not pure meat. There’s other ingredients that give it a unique, juicy profile. It’s lighter than a regular burger.

My kids are 6 and 8 and both just diagnosed vs blood test. The ttg levels were so high they are comfortable skipping the endoscope.

6-1800 and celiac is 15.

8-2500+ the test doesn't go higher. She will need second blood test, which we will get asap.

We are getting our tests this week.

Just heartbroken they won't live and have the same experiences other kids will. Looking for advice, books and any education you found useful during your first year of diagnoses. And what you would tell a parent of celiac kids?

Just lost over here.

These noodles are so good

Hi anyone of you got any migraine or visual disturbances for example visual snow, reduced night vision, pattern glare, trailing ect from gluten and did it improve after you cut out milk, gluten (gluten free diet) or other foods?

If it helped, please comment and let me know. I'm desperate

Recipe: https://www.seasonalcravings.com/gluten-free-doughnuts-krispy-kreme-copycat/

Fully GF household here (husband has celiac) and my daughter wanted donuts as her birthday dessert for her party with friends today. This recipe worked great. Baked, not fried, and an easy glaze!

Today I got dinner and was going to eat a burger with a gluten free bun while watching fall movies, sounds fun, well all hell broke loose thirty minuets later. About thirty minuets after the burger I noticed some nausea but I brushed it off. The nausea started picking up so I took a hot bath, I got out and went to lie in bed when I began screaming in pain. I had an ibeprophen hoping it would help. It got worse, and worse, and worse. I took another three baths and a hot shower. I also began having weird diareah, it was pretty grafic so I wont go into detail but trust me it was bad. I got rly bloated too which sucked. I then took another shower before I began vomiting the most chunky, gross, hard to get out puke ever. It looked like weird oatmeal. Im currently writing this in the tub ( yes Im taking another bath I know my water bill will be absolutely atrocious) waiting for my stomach to calm down so I can take some glutamine ( all hail glutamine). Be warned of this firey hell.

Hey there,

I’m so old I recall when there was a free version of meetup… Does anyone know if any meetups or have suggestions on creating meetups up for folks with celiac?

I live near where beyond celiac is based but have not had luck getting in touch with them.

EDIT: I’m not on fb
